Eat the honey of @zekeemanuel.bsky.social whilst eating the ice cream and reading the book
Not only is @karaswisher.bsky.social the reason I wrote "Eat Your Ice Cream," she's also my #1 customer of my (award winning) honey.
I learned beekeeping last year, which was a very meaningful experience. This year, I'm learning how to ballroom dance with my wife. Wish me luck.

Trump just said "all" of Venezuela's oil must be made accessible to US oil companies. Trump wants to emulate Putin's model: Authoritarian, expansionist rulers carving up their regions and distributing the spoils of conquest to friendly oligarchs. 1/

Trump Blurts Out Dark Truth about Venezuela Plan—and about MAGA Voters
To some critics, it’s about plunder. To others, it’s about hemispheric hegemony. Actually, it’s about both.

Insightful thread.....
There are really four levels to what happened last night: US, regional, global and Venezuela.
I'll go through them in that order, as it moves from easiest to hardest in terms of making sense of them.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago.
And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

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.
