7 minutes ago David E. SangerWhite House reporter Trump put no time limit on the American occupation. It would be up to the United States to decide when to return the country to Venezuelan control. And then he turned to oil, saying that American companies would fix the infrastructure, “and start making money for the country.” David E. Sanger Jan. 3, 2026, 11:46 a.m. ET8 minutes ago David E. SangerWhite House reporter “We are going to run the country until such time that we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said, suggesting an occupation. The United States has done this before, in Germany, in Japan, and of course Iraq. But the history is checkered.

Veteran New York Times national security reporter David Sanger says what Trump is describing in Venezuela is an "American occupation."

Caring is an act of resistance in a system that thrives on indifference.

AI chatbots created by the biggest tech companies are luring children into sexually explicit chats and encouraging self-harm and violence.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Trump calls for the arrest of several Democratic members of Congress who are military vets who issued a video urging service members to follow their oath to the Constitution and USMJ.

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.

In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.

A massive percentage came from foreigners.

It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.

But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

I feel this.

We Should All Be Paying Attention To What's Happening to the National Archives Guest post from Dominic Byrd-McDevitt: Open knowledge advocate | Dedicated to building community and serving the public interest via data & tech.

The quality of the reporting on this has been disappointing, to say the least, with only the most basic understanding of what the National Archives does.

This is bigger than a little spat with a small agency.

I'm coining a new term. #FascismX It's for the new fascists that don't fit into left-right traditional divide, that obscure facts and truth in favor of charisma and populist vibes. Reason and experts hold no sway, mysticism and raw milk are cool though. #FascistsX - you know them when you see them.

Beautiful, powerful speech tonight by President Biden. Warning of oligarchy, tech-industrial complex, AI. Farewell to a good man and possibly our democracy.
