Today On Tap from me: Marco Rubio is selling a war of choice in Venezuela on falsehoods about narco-trafficking so he can get right-wing south Florida exiles who've been his political allies back into power. It's an incredibly parochial pretext for an imperial adventure.

Over 20 years, Peter Thiel quietly turned his Roth IRA into a gargantuan tax-exempt piggy bank.
Using stock deals unavailable to most people, the billionaire took a retirement account worth less than $2,000 in 1999 and spun it into a $5 billion windfall.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?
