I can envision China and Russia watching and taking notes potentially for Taiwan and Ukraine.
Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.

This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

He’s running
Former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg indicated in an interview published Tuesday that he would “assess” a potential 2028 presidential run and consider “what I bring to the table and how it’s different” from other candidates. wapo.st/4jW5AQQ

Biden, 52%: “low end approval”
Trump, 39%: proceeding “as expected”
At a hundred days into his presidency, Joe Biden had a 52% approval rating.

I couldn’t resist pretending it’s summer on this sunny and upper 40 degree weather day in Chicago.

No. 24 on @netflix.com about Norwegian resistance during WWII is an impactful story on one’s psyche and the compartmentalization of trauma.

Never watched “Man of Steel” before. This is a good Superman movie. Henry Cavill good in the role. Why replace?

Not sure why I finally decided after the election to start “Dark” on Netflix but this show is amazing

I am not sure if Biden the statesman with the White House welcome is good or bad. Trump is already normalized so at the moment doesn’t seem to matter. More the respect to the Office of President for Joe.

It’s great to see so many people have early voted or plan to tomorrow
