Note that 5 of the last 6 strikes are in the eastern Pacific, far from Venezuela. This is now regionalized.

Add the aircraft carrier and the casual threats to hit land targets in Ven, Colombia, and Mexico, and we may be entering a period of Gunboat Diplomacy that would make William McKinley blush.

Clearly, nostalgia for a time when there were no billionaires, a far more unionized workforce, a top marginal tax rate of 92%, and an electorate that wouldn’t even vote for a dogcatcher who was a twice-divorced open philanderer who used profanity in public.

I made an image of all the art posted by US DOL on X since approximately Labor Day

16 Lady Liberty ICE Recruiting Posters.

Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it.

He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts.

Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it."

Go Jack!

So this is great on the depth.

But for a post on nostalgia, we can’t overlook this 1980 gem.

The proud strutting is … memorable.

screen grab from Last Week Tonight with a collection of "opinion heavy outlets"

I have much to say about @lastweektonight.com lumping us in with National Review & The Federalist & Pod Save & Jacobin as an "opinion-heavy outlet."
We are a news outlet that (regardless of our perspective) provides fact-based reporting. Putting us on this list is, well, factually inaccurate.

Some of the 100s of CDC workers "mistakenly" fired on Friday have been asked to return to work. Some were involved with the federal measles and Ebola responses.

JD Vance told CBS it was a mistake caused by "the Dems' shutdown of the Government".

The sackings were ordered by the White House.

California press protections undermined as violations surged at LA protests Batons, pepper balls, searches, detainment: How police defied the state’s media rights law

A CA law meant to safeguard journalists at protests turns four this fall. But it was openly defied this summer.

Nearly half of nationwide press freedom violations so far in 2025 have happened in that state — almost all at the hands of law enforcement.

Put your drink down. Make sure your mouth is empty. Speaker Mike Johnson just claimed that Donald Trump “was an FBI informant” to help take down Jeffrey Epstein. That is all. Carry on.
