America now has 935 billionaires with $8.1 trillion in collective wealth — a 20% increase from 2024.

Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

In his first presser after the operation, Trump mentioned the word 'oil' a dozen times but did not say the word 'democracy' once. That tells you everything about the priorities on display, and must change. @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social. More on my Substack michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p/the-us-pri...

Trump told the oil companies about his illegal attack on Venezuela - most of them his major donors - but didn’t inform Congress.
Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off?

Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

The Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen to the United States:

“The Kingdom of Denmark, and thus Greenland, is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee.” I “strongly urge the United States to cease its threats.”

The idea that Trump plans to now run Venezuela should strike fear in the hearts of all Americans. The American people have seen this before and paid the devastating price.

Just because you can make an analogy doesn’t mean it’s a good one…
Tom Cotton: "Congress isn't notified when the FBI is going to arrest a drug trafficker or cyber criminal here in the US, nor should Congress be notified when the executive branch is executing arrests on indicted persons. And that's really what you can make the analogy to here."

There is no reason to believe that Americans are more secure today after this morning's raid in Caracas than they were yesterday. I will not mourn Maduro's removal from power, but the Trump administration owes our country transparency and a clear strategy.

Agree...this is a time for few words and more action...building relationships outside of N.Am. and fast.
I dunno, given the circumstances, I think it's pretty good.

The PM can't afford to denounce the man who may turn his guns on us.

It's as good a statement as could be expected in this messed up time.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy

Trump's regime has murdered people in the water. He has seized ships on the high seas. He has invaded a country and kidnapped their leader.
All bets are off with the United States.
Canada needs to build alliances with Europe and to be ready on the home front.

This is the crazy state of the world in 2026: Speaking with Canadians this morning, we agree unanimously that we feel vulnerable sitting on a wealth of natural resources and, if our duly elected Prime Minister Carney were captured, we would fight.

Were Jesus, Mary and Joseph refugees?

In today’s Feast of the Holy Family, we read of Jesus, Mary and Joseph fleeing the murderous designs of an evil king and journeying to Egypt, a traditional refugee for Jewish people of the time, as Joan Taylor points out in her book “Boy Jesus.”
