NEW: Here's what we know so far about the suspected shooter at the White House Correspondents Dinner: www.wired.com/story/califo...

Alternative angle of Trump and others being rushed off stage at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner

Hmmmm ….

Trump soared in the polls after a 2024 assassination attempt. Could another assassination attempt help Republicans in the 2026 midterms?

oh god he’s going to use this to talk about how we need to hurry up with his ballroom because it will be safer, won’t he

Many people in my mentions proclaiming this the Reichstag fire, and it is very funny to imagine an increasingly-frustrated White House staging false flag after false flag, trying to get somebody to notice.

Trump: "I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to."

TIM WALZ: Do not take the bait. Do not take the bait. Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act. Do not allow them to invoke martial law.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issues a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard: "I feel your anger. I'm angry."

If this is true, it is indefensible. Blocking a doctor and an ambulance is not “law enforcement.” It is state violence. Full stop.

Rep Lieu: "If any military member, including the generals on down...participate in the use of military force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders."

We watched a woman being executed by an ICE Agent today as she fled for her life. She had a wife and was a dog mom. She was murdered while acting as a legal observer helping to defend the oppressed and the hunted. Holding all of us with love and tenderness right now. We are not OK.

(NOT) BREAKING (NOT NEW) NEWS: Trump just posted lies on Truth Social about the murder of a legal observer in Minneapolis.

If you were hopeful that Trump would post a reasonable, calm, measured, reassuring message that a full, fair and impartial investigation will be conducted into the ICE agent’s conduct in MN, I regret to inform you that is not what went down on Truth Social.

Today is very bad and we should all be very angry but I am here to remind us that the birthday we are celebrating this year is not for the Constitution but for our rebellion against monarchy. The sincerest form of flattery is imitation.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret. But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

It's not just that the new ICE agents are untrained and incompetent, it's that the people drawn to this job in this environment are people who get off on cruelty. It's a position tailor made for sadists. Kind, decent people are not applying.

So President Trump seems to think the Govt of Venezuela has already been toppled and in fact the government's foreign minister is touching base with Iran about getting support.

real post

Immediately after the news broke that the U.S. military had invaded Venezuela and captured Maduro, the folks at Fox wanted to invade Mexico, Colombia and Cuba next! What happened to NO NEW WARS?

Rubio on Cuba: “It is run by incompetent, senile men.” That is what the world is saying about America.

so, what, “help us do a coup, you get to look cool on the internet, we get to run the country now”? sure yeah guess we’re renting out coup services now, that tracks

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Colombian President Petro commenting on the US; “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."

With this regime anything is possible…

I hope a foreign democracy will kidnap our President if they ever decide he’s a criminal, who stole from his own people, used the military against them and tried to cling to power to enrich himself and his friends. How about you guys?

So while the U.S. remains in Venezuela so oil companies can do as they please, whose kids are going to be patrolling Venezuelan streets on behalf of the United States and Trump’s interests? Asking for anyone with family in the U.S. military and a country as well.

The statements “offer the clearest picture yet of Weiss’ vision for the network: one that pushes aside subject matter experts while obnoxiously waving the American flag in front of viewers. Neither are typically associated with journalism.” @passantino.bsky.social www.status.news/p/tony-dokou...

Oh www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

The Venezuelan people elected Edmundo González to run their country. Not Pete Hegseth or Marco Rubio. The American people do not support another expensive foreign war that risks the lives of our men and women in uniform.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

We are sure it’s just a coincidence, but today is the statuatory date for the DOJ to explain its redactions in the Epstein file productions. We have not forgotten, and we won’t let up - regardless of the President’s new unconstitutional actions.

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide: "International law is universal and binding for all states. The American intervention in Venezuela is not in accordance with international law."

With the exception of Tankie types, no one on the left is mourning the downfall of Maduro. They’re angry about the recklessness, the risk taking, the legal issues, the occupation, and the inevitable corruption.

“It only took three days for these toxic goons to ruin the new year. Yes, there is no bottom.” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-a...

Chevron donated to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration fund. Chevron’s CEO publicly praised trump’s energy agenda. Chevron donations: 94% Republican, 6% Democrat. Chevron is the ONLY foreign oil company allowed to operate in Venezuela. Follow the money.
