Mike Lee, who fancies himself an intellectual, advances the premise that US agents can walk into the Venezuelan president’s rooms in Caracas at any time and exercise a plenary police power, and if anyone in that sovereign state might get in their way the military can just start blowing shit up.

One funny thing Elon Musk figured out about the media is if, instead of providing comment to reporters, you email back an automated reply saying "go fuck yourself," the reporters will just invent their own plausible-sounding defense of your conduct to balance their stories instead of punishing you

I also love America and believe in its stated values.

And I understand that this pronouncement lands very differently when it comes from an organization that has intentionally been overhauled in order to curry favor with a jingoistic proto-fascist who says his opponents hate the country.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.

One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

The IBM X-Force Exchange, the company's in-house vulnerability database that was founded even before the CVE program, appears to have been abandoned

Rest In Peace IBM X-Force Vulnerability Database
Within the vulnerability ecosystem, the CVE project / vulnerability database is certainly the most well-known. Over the past 30 years many others have come and gone, and others are still around. So…

israel continues to kill palestinians during a so-called ceasefire. they continue to choke off access to aid so that exactly the number of calories that will theoretically keep palestinians alive make it into gaza. they they continue to come up with "innovative" terrorist attacks in lebanon & syria.

Literally all Democrats would have to do to get my vote is oppose Trump and support trans people, and they can’t even manage to do either one!

It’s so wild to watch the constitution in tatters, masked thugs disappearing citizens, and a supreme court playing calvinball, and then democrats are like “republicans don’t care enough about affordability to cosponsor my bipartisan legislation to give tax credits to small businesses waah” gtfo

Every leader in the world, especially our enemies, knows how easy it is to manipulate Trump with flattery and bribery.

If he was a Democrat everyone would be appalled at the national security risk and demand he be removed.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

If Donald Trump can dismiss the murder and dismemberment of an American journalist by saying "things happen. that guy was very controversial and a lot of people didn't like him." Then I should be able to say the same thing about that piece of shit Charlie Kirk.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
