Donald Trump is mentally unwell. Any reporter who covers him as if this should not be considered and addressed when writing about his acting as “President” is seriously failing at their job.

feels stupid to say at this point but how the fuck isn't anyone invoking the 25th amendment.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

More details below.

Chancellor Merz is right: Europe can no longer depend on America.

But he's wrong to say that America is pursuing its own interests.

Trump is pursuing his deranged and corrupt interests, not ours.

Your doctor can perform a blood test to check for measles antibodies.
If you got a measles shot between 1963-1967 and or only received one dose, you may need a booster.
Vaccines have proven effective since 1796.
It doesn’t have to be this way. This is what happens when vaccination rates drop. If you traveled to theses areas recently, please watch for signs of measles. Talk to a doctor as needed.

If you have plans to travel to these areas, please protect yourself and family. Vaccines save lives.
