"Israel Is Banning the 'Last Foreign Witnesses' to Its Genocide in Gaza"

In a likely deadly move, the Israeli government told 37 foreign aid groups, including Doctors Without Borders, they could no longer operate in Palestine. Where is the outrage, asks Diana Buttu for Zeteo?

Here are some choice quotes from Jack Smith’s testimony about the conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

“..the evidence made clear that President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy.”

So if I have this straight, Axios went out and found a couple of centrist congressional Democrats angry that their party is being critical of the takeover of Venezuela, and these members are so tuned in to the pulse of the voters that they would only speak anonymously

I don’t know what moment Chuck Schumer is made for, but it sure as shit isn’t this one.
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

The silence from many media-hyped 2028 contenders today is shocking.

If you cannot oppose this regime change war for oil, you don't have the moral clarity or guts to lead our party or nation.

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

Trump just said we’re going to run the country and send our oil companies in to start making money.

Nothing about this is okay.

The President of the United States is on Fox News right now gabbing about the U.S. attack on Venezuela before addressing the American people.

So the new order of information is: Truth Social → Fox News → the public → Congress, maybe?

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.

Dear news media,
Why not spend a few minutes today explaining how the process of going to war is supposed to work in a constitutional democracy? Because it ain't this.

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.
