My forecast of the situation in Venezuela as a former combat medic that served in Iraq.
As a medic, the immediate, almost reflexive thought is:
“This is going to be a lot of casualties, fast.”

For those keeping track at home: Since Christmas Eve the United States has bombed or carried out raids in Syria, Somalia, Nigeria and now Venezuela. And Congress' response has ranged from nothing to support.

It's pretty fucking wild how the anti-imperialists—the people who said giving Ukraine weapons to defend itself was "imperialism"—were the actual real imperialists. Gaslighting at a historical scale.

There is nothing more infuriating than people who are horny for war and refuse to acknowledge that you can despise a regime, want it gone, support the people who wish to end it — and still oppose the use of military action.

Just a reminder: here is all that it took to get president Andrew Johnson impeached.
They introduced this and voted on it. They came up with the exact articles to send to the senate later.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

Last month, I wrote on all legislative races of 2025. There were still a few elections left in the year, however. But now, they're all done.
And so we've updated the analysis:
—Democrats flipped 25 legislative seats in 2025.
That's 21% of the 119 GOP-held seats at play.
—The GOP flipped 0.
