Venezuela is still the old Venezuela, even though Maduro has been kidnapped. I therefore don't think that there is a good rationale for US interventions in Cuba, or elsewhere in Latin America.

It's Friday afternoon. He will say anything to get out of the office, and kick off Spring Break with a bender.

While Trump is fantasizing about heinous war crimes, we are still trying to find out what the justification and objective are for the war in Iran.

Witkoff and Kushner are just real estate vultures, and global economic stability doesn't create the opportunities they are looking for

I think democracies around the world are already aware that Trump is a threat to world peace. This message hasn't really hit home yet in the United States itself.

85 H1B visas in a country of 320 million people? Given how much our tech, financial and medical industries depend on a steady flux of foreign talent, those sectors must be hurting for skilled workers.

Because it is a feature, not a bug in Trump's cabinet.

Is Bessent so bored with the Treasury Dept that he is taking over Defense and State Department? The incompetence of this cabinet is beyond imagination.

The US destroyed 16 small Iranian ships that could potentially lay sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Fog of war.

Never forget that there are more Democrats in TX than in most other states. We have lost all statewide votes over the last 20 years, but that could change. The biggest threat to our elections now is the SAVE act, which would affect all of the US.

I always thought that song was from Germany, so I learned something new. I remember it from a few high school parties in the mid to late 80s. Very funny.

R.E.M. came out with Out of Time on March 12, 1991. Record stores were still common, and their shop windows were plastered with this album. Bible thumpers went crazy over one particular song, but the click between Michael Stipe and Kate Pearson on Shiny Happy People was the real highlight. #MusicSky

And at the same time, Hegseth scaled back the army intelligence unit that would have prevented shooting a missile at the girl's school in Iran.

Inexplicably, the WSJ also thinks that Iran is really sitting on a nuclear arsenal. There is no evidence for it.

Today on NPR Mary Louise Kelly fantasized whether FIFA boss Infantino should sanction Iran for withdrawing from the FIFA World Cup. She knows that the US just killed 175 Iranian schoolgirls with a tomahawk missile. What's wrong with her?

We are in a fight between western democracies and the oligarchy. It should be an easy win for regular people around the world, but so many of us are easily manipulated.
