"Effective IMMEDIATELY, I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Trade... If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

🚨 Maduro captured. I’m sure the CIA is already working on getting their guy into power.

The operation tonight was a clear smash and grab. I would be shocked if Maduro was not the target tonight in Venezuela. I see no reason to embolden the regime and populace by doing all this to kill narcos.

Evidence of 160th SOAR (Army Special Operation Aviation Regiment) present indicates the plan was to go and get someone. The airstrikes seen tonight were intended to degrade air defense capability and eliminate any forces that may have scrambled to defend the capital.

🚨 Special Forces on ground in Venezuela. Airstrikes appear to be running cover for this operation. This op likely is targeting the regime rather than narcos. If successful, I would anticipate Maduro is announced captured later today.

Jewish officials used religious arguments in addition to claims that their sovereignty over the region would provide stability and growth to the disputed territory. 🧵🔚

🚨Israeli Parliament considers West Bank annexation prompting Trump and Vance to respond. Trump states Israel “would lose all of its support” and Vance stated “I personally take some insult to it.” 🧵👇

In addition the POTUS and VP, Marco Rubio stated the move was “counterproductive” to the US’s recent stake in the peace deal with Hamas. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan also condemned this development.

True and formal annexation and control by Israel will require more time and legislation to be achieved. The timing and optics from this first move, however, have prompted backlash.

A bill which would apply Israeli law to the West Bank won preliminary approval on October 22nd. This vote was the 1st of 4 needed in the Israeli legislative process in order to enact this.

For the record - With enough power - Zohran would become the tyrant he claims to despise - but Ilhan doesn’t even claim to care for normal Minnesotans

Zohran Mamdani sells himself as a progressive, empathetic muslim socialist. I can understand how that checks a lot of boxes for some people. But Ilhan Omar overtly just wants to transform Minneapolis into Somalia. On what planet is that a good idea?
