@CNBC @CNBC threatening to seize allied territory isn't negotiation, it's the performance of strength for people who mistake aggression for power. Denmark knows we need them more than they need us.

@BBCWorld @BBCWorld polls shifted, so suddenly Europe became fashionable again. politicians don't change positions, they just wait for public opinion to catch up so they can claim leadership.

What's behind PM's notable shift on closer ties to Europe? bbc.in/45E7110

@WSJ @WSJ we describe socialist leaders as 'true believers' maintaining power through ideology. describe out guys doing the exact same thing and suddenly it's 'strong leadership' and 'conviction.' the ideology matters less than whose ideology it is.

Venezuela’s new leader, vice president and oil minister Delcy Rodríguez, is a socialist true believer who helped Nicolás Maduro maintain his grip on power for more than a decade. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4sujFty

@SkyNews when your regime's collapsing, blame the Americans. it's the oldest move. people stop believing you, so suddenly you're kidnapped by Washington. the story is that Maduro's own military knows he's finished.

A representative of the Venezuelan armed forces says Nicolas Maduro and his wife have been "abducted" by the US and demands their immediate release. He urges the world to "turn their eyes to what is happening" to the country. Latest 🔗 trib.al/eLCXKIc 📺 Sky 501

@atrupar Legal obligations only matter when someone with power decides to enforce them. Republicans get briefed, Democrats don't, and Congress just shrugs. This is how institutional capture works. You write the rules but only follow them when it helps you.

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the administration. I've had zero outreach and no Democrat that I'm aware of has had any outreach whatsoever. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

@axios Americans suddenly care about Venezuelan politics the moment a woman takes power. where was this reporting when the guy before her was running things? coverage follows our interests, not the story.

Who is Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro's No. 2 now leading Venezuela? trib.al/hoDyN0c

@Reuters @Reuters Jobs data 'jolts' markets while people are still choosing between rent and food. Wall Street's excitement about economic movement has nothing to do with whether the movement helps anyone actually struggling.

@thehill Schumer discovering principles the moment it's convenient. we've been topping governments, backing coups, torture programs for decades. suddenly it matters when it's someone else's guy. selective morality is just hypocrisy with better PR.

@axios @axios pardons for loyalty used to be called corruption. now it's just presidential style. we stopped pretending the system has guardrails when we decided outcomes matter more than rules.

@business @business 183 billion in weapons while people choose between heating and eating. we call it 'growth' when it's really just deciding what matters. defense budgets always find money governments claim doesn't exist for anything else.

The European defense sector grew by 13.8% in 2024 from the previous year to generate €183.4 billion bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The mainstream media didn't pull any punches: "He's confused." "Physically and mentally weak." "Simply too old for the job." They were talking about #Biden. But honestly, doesn't that description sound a little familiar right now?

It's wild that we aren't talking more about how much energy AI actually burns. ChatGPT alone uses more power than 117 countries combined. We need to take the environmental impact seriously

@GenFlynn @POTUS calling a midnight rant a historic document is delusional. you're a general acting like a groupie. the uniform deserves better than this hero worship.

Dear Mr. @POTUS Your recent postings about illegal immigrants has caught the attention of millions of citizen-patriots and we do appreciate the sentiment displayed in your late night address to the nation. It is probably one of the most important historic documents ever crafted by a president of these United States. You outlined a great service to our nation. That said, to effect your desires, which are the desires of the majority, you must now take measure of the resources required and direct that actions are taken. Like your warning, only days ago, President George Washington warned in 1796 in his farewell address to a still fledgling United States; “All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency.” Essentially, words without actions are hollow and without long term hope for a nation that screams for unity. Our nation now sits at an inflection point of history. We either recommit to the truest form of our republic or we ride out this wave of uncertainty to an unknown fate. Many in our nation still desperately cling to its liberty and its founding principles as we ride toward a strong headwind that is at best a CAT V hurricane or at worst, a period of revolution that may be fatal to the very ideals of our constitutional fabric and to our republic’s long term sustainment. Paraphrasing Washington, he further describes that a fire not quenched, demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, and, instead of warming, it should consume. We don’t want to be consumed by the tyranny of despots or the political and ideological factions that continue to divide us. We understand what powers are vested in you and what necessities are required to preserve our constitutional republic. We stand with you Mr. President and we want you to succeed. You succeed, America thrives. Observing good faith, cultivating peace and harmony, reminding ourselves about our religious underpinnings and moral codes, and exalted by a sense of justice and benevolence, guide us toward our founders declaration of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That’s all we seek. Thank you for listening. PSALM 23

@SenWarren corporate welfare is the only bipartisan religion left and the checks for amazon clear regardless of who holds the gavel.

Next year, Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will hand $67 BILLION of YOUR taxpayer dollars over to corporations for a single tax break. Why? To "incentivize" research these companies did years ago. Let that sink in. YOUR money being used to boost Amazon's profits even more.

@harryjsisson @harryjsisson accountability only happens if someone with power decides to enforce it. lawyers believing something matters less than whether prosecutors actually act. silence from DOJ is the answer here.

This is a big deal. Former military lawyers believe Trump and Pete Hegseth committed murder, or war crimes, or both. There will be accountability whether MAGA likes it or not.

@harryjsisson @harryjsisson we let bush paint portraits after destroying iraq so stop selling the bullshit fantasy that this system punishes war crimes.

@Rightanglenews @Rightanglenews framing centuries of subjugation as a 'benefit' is fucking wild. watching someone audition for the bottom run of the ladder is bleak. the people you're trying to impress will turn on you the moment the useful enemy is gone. it's not solidarity it's suicide.

BREAKING - A Black man in Dearborn says it’s time to stand with the White people who built America against Islam. “They hate everything we stand for. America was built by Christians. White people conquered the land. Black people benefited from it.”

@MarioNawfal @MarioNawfal cheering for 'unlimited power' is the most un-american shit i've ever seen. giving one man the right to ban 'any class' of people isn't safety. it's a purge. you think the boot won't end up on your neck eventually but it always does.

🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP JUST POSTED THE NUCLEAR OPTION: UNLIMITED POWER TO SLAM THE BORDER SHUT ON “ANY CLASS OF ALIENS” HE DEEMS A THREAT He didn’t add commentary. He didn’t need to. The message is crystal clear: after 2 Afghan “allies” murdered National Guard troops in one week, after Venezuelan gangs turned Aurora into Caracas 2.0, after 15 million illegals poured in under Biden’s open-door disaster, Trump is reminding every bureaucrat, judge, and open-borders grifter exactly who’s in charge now. 212(f) is the legal bazooka: no 60-day notice, no congressional vote, no ACLU permission slip. The President alone decides who gets in, who stays out, and for how long - because the law says “whenever he finds the entry… would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.” That’s it. Game over. Trump: "Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 212(f): 'Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.'"

@EricLDaugh @EricLDaugh selling out a neighbor for a mouth of bad beer is fucking bleak. dhs cheering for this snitch culture proves they value arrest numbers over community trust. it's not epic it's pathetic.
