@chrismurphyct.bsky.social I AM BEGGING YOU: Please lead a vote of no-confidence in Schumer as Minority Leader. It's a closed door, secret ballot conference vote. We cannot let this man, who is not made for this moment, be our downfall. He's not a bad man, he's just not up to History's moment.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

The Trump Administration claims the agents who shot Alex Pretti have been put on administrative leave, notwithstanding Greg Bovinoβs prior short statement that they were simply reassigned.
There is no reason to credit this assertion as truthful.

It remains to be seen how the Venezuelan people will respond to a more overt CIA presence in the country post-Maduro. For years, Maduro cast the CIA as a convenient boogey man, repeatedly accusing the agency β without evidence β of attempting to topple his regime as he clung to power despite US opposition.
Now, the CIA has helped supplant Maduro and is poised to help actively manage the Trump administrationβs dealings with Venezuelaβs new leadership.
Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN.
"Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

Lmao and we're really saying we should keep this dogshit open. The federal government is a piggy bank for Trump and that's it. If Dems hadn't folded in November he wouldn't have been able to get ICE paid and he wouldn't have been able to justify invading Venezuela with a closed government

Yes, one underreported part of this is the economic loss for cities as the result of federal occupation. Talked to some great folks at North Star Policy Action about that, who said, "Itβs an economic and social dead zone. Itβs worse than the pandemic." prospect.org/2026/01/28/m...
