Let’s be clear! This is CONQUEST! Open ended running of Venezuela by USA, where we (USA) will be taking oil from Venezuela that ostensibly is to pay for the running of Venezuela &/or repay USA! This sets the precedent for illegal imperialistic military actions by Trump/GOP in Mexico, Greenland etc.!

Finance Industry Eyes Investment Opportunities in Venezuela Some on Wall Street are already considering possible investment opportunities in Venezuela following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, according to Charles Myers, chairman of consulting firm Signum Globa...

And there ya have it…

Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

Russ Vought is now officially using the government shutdown as a pretext for his continued attempts to permanently gut the civil service.

The executive branch cannot unilaterally reduce agency funding that Congress has allocated: This is a serious separation of powers issue.

He's lying to protect ALL the Pedophiles in the Epstein files.Bondi watched videos of children being r@ped and then said there are no files. This administration is disgusting.

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the communities that have inhabited the Americas for tens of thousands of years. I stand with the Indigenous communities in #IL01 and across our country fighting for equality.

I used to be a mortgage broker, and I know she’s innocent, too, by virtue of the clause that I also know well about the occupancy issue. Borrowers do not get prosecuted for it because “intention” is the key factor and virtually impossible to prove.

If you tax trucks 🚛, trucking in your inputs gets pricier.

That means flying ✈️ or shipping 🚢 looks better.

Where do planes and boats come from?

Yes, this just made transporting inputs from abroad *more* competitive.

It's like taxing bikes to reduce road congestion.

If you voted for Trump 3 times, and his policies put you out of business, shouldn’t you be asking Eric and Trump Org for your bailout instead of the rest of us?

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

When they say Melania can speak 6 languages are they counting English?

Disney really thought Americans cared more about “happily ever after” then about freedom

More Americans Going Hungry, Worst Still to Come Food banks around the country are reporting an uptick in visits. Grocery store chains are reporting an uptick in profit.

So what happened to the $50K in cash Tom Homan got in the Cava bag?

Was it deposited in his bank account and reported as income that he paid taxes on?

Is it under his mattress?

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate:

Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

Speaker after speaker at this memorial is explicitly likening him to Jesus Christ. (Slain in early 30s, etc.)

Don't know how this goes over with people raised in other faiths.

Having been raised as a church-going Protestant Christian, I say: What the hell! This is not how Christians talk.

Angus: Trump, says lumber from Canadian mills represents a national security threat.

You’d use that language about buddy going down to the Home Depot in Arkansas to buy some 2x4s?

If you're not familiar with QAnon conspiracy dogwhistles, then you won't know that Stephen Miller just rattled off a bunch of them in a row, including "I am the storm" and "Light out of darkness." While these sound like dumb cliches on the surface, they're coded messages to Q cult adherents.

Today Cankles McEpstein will blame you for the consequences of his violent rhetoric.

There is nothing godly, good, Christian or American about any word that's been uttered at that Arizona stadium today

These fascists are so far up their own assholes that their words reek of that darkness

It's clear that they plan to accelerate the death of America beyond even what we'd anticipated

I have never seen a festival of hate like what is happening in Arizona today

Every speaker sounds like they want to genocide more than half of America
