The first sale of Venezuelan oil went to a guy who donated $6 million to Trump. The proceeds are now in a bank in Qatar.

Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?

Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis.

It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it. Here is the FSB in Russia:

Yes. This is why they released the Ross cell phone footage. They want to make sure we know that they will kill us if we disrespect them.

Exactly.

Malaysia, Indonesia become first to block Musk’s Grok over AI deepfakes Malaysia and Indonesia have blocked access to Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok due to its misuse in generating explicit images.

Malaysia and Indonesia become the first countries to block Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, after authorities said it was being misused to generate sexually explicit and non-consensual images.

Know your rights if ICE show up.

An important piece from @kimwehle.bsky.social and Zeteo:

“Donald Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He’s a liar. He’s a thief. He’s a molester. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy. He has no loyalty to the law, to the Constitution. This man is the lowest character of all.”

Feeding the ego and the megalomaniacal desires of a psychopath. Sycophantic AF. Revoke her Nobel.

Do we think conquistador Stephen Miller has ever been in like even a minor fist fight? A scuffle?

Tony Dokoupil's CBS Evening News debut got off to a tough start ...

The Telegraph: The US has ceased to be the leader of the Western alliance.

I hate Trump, Republicans & SCOTUS for making me ashamed to be an American.

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something."

They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable.

These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

I don’t understand how a guy with 360° peripheral vision can’t catch anyone.

Shapiro: I think it’s insulting to the people of Pennsylvania that this guy shows up and tries to convince them to unsee what they’ve seen with their own eyes—rising prices. I guess JD was afraid to upset his boss, and this is what you get.

BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard has quietly enacted a policy downgrading swastikas and nooses from hate symbols to “potentially divisive.” The manual is now in effect, despite public outrage and warnings after the draft was revealed last month. (Washington Post)

Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

Seems like the FBI is not really covering itself in glory these days

McGovern: If by “concepts of a plan” you meant screwing millions of people over—including millions who voted Republican in the last election—I think you’ve accomplished your goal.

Susie Wiles asked “who would blame" Trump for seeking retribution against his political opponents? Well, I do. In fact, I blame him and all his enablers.

Impossible to overstate just how much of a mensch Rob Reiner was to interact with. A jewel of a person.
