it’s very funny to be asked what you like about Trump’s policies and say that you like his demolition of the East Wing
Trump’s approval is under 40% so naturally the New York Times found a whole bunch of people that support or defend what he’s doing, including a Kamala 2024 voter who regrets his vote lmao

Really smart, really important piece. Remember, MAGA believes (not wrongly) that politics is downstream of culture.

NYT confirming CNN’s reporting and specifying that the alleged drone strike happened “last week” according to “people briefed on the operation.” Still no exact location for the strike or confirmation from the CIA.

Another confusing detail from the CNN report. An American drone blew up a port facility but it was small so the Venezuelan government didn’t care enough to comment? Huh?

In this clip from a right wing radio show on Friday, Trump claims that on Christmas Eve the US “knocked out” a facility in Venezuela from which the supposed drug boats launch. Has this been reported anywhere else?

The station’s write up doesn’t mention it: wabcradio.com/2025/12/26/s...

An attack in violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and the Take Care Clause of the Constitution.

Seemingly conducted as covert action and then casually disclosed by POTUS while calling into a radio show.

Q: China is doing naval exercises to encircle Taiwan

TRUMP: I have a great relationship with President Xi and I don't believe he's gonna be doing it

Q: Does it worry you?

TRUMP: No. Nothing worries me.

“Did the military do that?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

I suspect he just blew a deniable CIA covert op, because he’s a big dummy.
Q: Can you say any more about the explosion in Venezuela that you mentioned in a radio interview. Did the military do that?

TRUMP: Well, it doesn't matter. But there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. We hit the area.

This was one of my biggest takeaways from working with economists in the aging space: without immigrants, we are demographically screwed, and millennials will once again get epically shafted when it comes time to collect the pension supports our parents took for granted.
Which is why the Trudeau Liberal increased official immigration targets, more or less. They also badly screwed up on the rest of the immigration file, however, and now we are overcorrecting
Sargent did a lot of work here and describes in several ways how Miller’s worldview is distorted.

Keir Starmer was the model for centrists and popularists who insisted that moving right on issues, especially immigration, is how you win at politics.

Wonder if there will ever be any self-reflection here! Ah well nevertheless
