Only the Trump administration could create a shitshow that feels so shocking but also completely unsurprising.

Live: Trump says US has captured Venezuela's President Maduro after 'large scale' strike
It was Washington's most direct intervention in Latin America since the 1989 invasion of Panama.

Do you need a cheerful Christmas story to perk up your morning?

Well, this isn’t it.

But if you want a Christmas mystery, here’s my part of it (follow along for what other Christmas market vendors see!)

Struggling to find a 40-hour #job?

There's a reason.

Don't make a #livingwage?

There's a reason.

Feel left behind?

You're not alone.

None of this is new.

And it's not going to change without a lot of pushing.

If someone told you in 2005 that, twenty years later, the guy from The Apprentice would be serving his 2nd term as President and would completely annihilate the White House East Wing to build a Biff Tannen-like monstrosity in its place, you'd ask WTF they were on.

And yet, here we are.

I thought I was writing a “she gets cookies, takes a bath, moves on with her life” scene. Then my brain said: what if the cookies kill her? Sorry, Chelsea. That’s how the Prologue opens.

Imagine how differently we would see ourselves (and others) if we regularly separated the person from their emotions of the moment.

"More damn papers."

Chelsea Delucca thought her ex was the biggest problem she had.
