Who remembers being furious about this? Trump says 'I moved on her like a bitch...'

If you don't want fascism, you need to do the work needed.
This sucks but I think non-Americans being justifiably angry at Americans for what the American government is doing and threatening to do, and Americans experiencing that anger and frustration personally in ways that are unpleasant, is probably an important part of any path back to stability

We need to be honest with ourselves and our leaders about Venezuela

We are a rogue state, a global pariah

Trump is ruling as a dictator, period

An axis of evil wants to carve up small, resource-rich nations

The message for 2026 is clear: No kings!

I wish they talked about how unsuccessful Miller has been.

"Stephen Miller ordered ICE to snatch 3,000 people a day. He has failed to meet that order, but the order has led to an emphasis on non-criminal long-term residents rather than violent criminals."
I think that Stephen Miller's ascendance in the US govt. is a major development so am really glad to see this coverage from @katierogersnyt.bsky.social

Miller is motivated by the goal of mass deportations & now exerts extraordinary foreign policy authority

Mike Johnson is such a misogynist even Republican women are openly defying him now.

Yeah, a House member needs to send up that impeachment flag. This is illegal, immoral, dangerous behavior — that is also likely unconstitutional as well.

I used to have to teach the NSS: What's in it, what it means, how it was produced.
In this administration, documents mean nothing. Our national policy is whatever stray voltage is crossing Donald Trump's brain pan at any given moment. The NSS and other such documents are meaningless.
The Trump administration has quietly released its National Security Strategy — apparently late on Thursday. Usually there's a rollout and fanfare for these things: www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
