The #Republicans under #MikeJohnson have tapped Rep #BarryLoudermilk of Georgia [who literally gave a tour of the Capitol building to some insurgents the day before the #insurrection] to stand up their own special committee to uncover what the speaker calls the “full truth” of what happened. They’re planning a hearing this month.

I’m sending out love to everyone who suffered through the January 6, 2021 insurrection. I’m sure many of them are still suffering from PTSD and 141 officers were injured and several died as a result of the day. #neveragain #uspol #Jan6insurrection

A senior UK government source said: ‘This was a decision by the US [invading #Venezuela and abducting its leader]. It is not for us make a judgment on whether it was lawful’

So it’s very clear that #Starmer is completely under #Trump’s thumb. No surprise there…but it just makes clear how morally weak and technologically stupid the leadership of the UK is. Starmer is still desperate for a trade deal with a fascist state and to sell us out wholesale to the tech bros.

"The Trump admin adopted a legal position🚨to deny bond to as many #immigrants as possible.⚡That position has now been rejected by: 309 judges appted by every living pres. Yet bc of legal proc, blocking the policy NW is very diffic."

"Yet another judge joined the list this morning --NH's P Barbadoro, a GWB appt, ruled🚨against the admin's #detention pol, bringing to 309 the# of judges who've rejected it, comp to 14 who *sided w #ICE.

His priorities are revolting.

#Maduro clearly intended to make a personal statement about his situation; instead, he was forced to conform to the rules of the courtroom, where the judge is the highest authority.

Maduro says he has the indictment in his hands “for the very first time.” Judge Hellerstein asks, “Would you like me to read it to you?” Maduro responds through an interpreter, “I would rather read it personally.”

"The extent to which the national conversation about what just happened focuses on drugs, or on Maduro’s personal corruption, rather than on the world’s most powerful nation attacking a less powerful nation in order to protect its own economic interests—that is the extent to which the national conversation has been derailed by propaganda":

1. DJT is subservient to putler. (see who always has the underhand in their handshakes)

2. Fox called Venezuela a "Special US Military Operation". A clear signal to legitimize Ukraine's invasion, since "the US does it too."

3. Since it's not his military might, putler's power over DJT must be intel based.

4. DJT got away with rape and murders at this point so the kompromat on him must be something so bad even his base couldn't condone.

Detritus from one of the Caribbean boat strikes has washed up on the Colombian peninsula, and it’s not what the White House claimed.

The boats, apparently wrecked in a November 6 strike, arrived with two mangled bodies and...emptied packets of marijuana. https://trib.al/iLsmws3

@wdlindsy The justification is non-existent for bypassing laws that provide checks and balances, especially in the case of Congressional oversight of a rogue, law breaking Administration. And for what, our national security? Haha. We must stop being willing victims (as I look at MAGA.)
More so, Congress must reign in these criminal acts and those complicit in corruption must be held accountable or we are finished as the remnants of the USA. 🤔

NYT: “At least 40 people were killed in the U.S. attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians… no American troops killed— About half a dozen soldiers injured…” This is what they call a “law enforcement operation”? 😕 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

The WaPo and NYT knew of the plan to bomb #Venezuela and kidnap #Maduro ahead of time and did not print it.

If you were really naive, you could imagine them agonizing over a moral dilemma, weighing the risk of endangering US service members vs maybe getting this disastrous misadventure canceled.

But why bother when the WaPo editorial board openly fellated Trump for this illegal and immoral action?

NBC News Headline:

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio says U.S. capture of Maduro is not a war against Venezuela"

So are we to understand that if some country came to the US and kidnapped our duly elected President and his wife ...

IT WOULDN'T BE WAR?

"[Vance's] official White House bio says he served in the U.S. Marine Corps, then used the GI Bill to attend The Ohio State University, and then went on to Yale Law School. That is not 'Hillbilly School.' That is elite credentialing. That is “I know what I’m doing” territory.

So when a guy like that stands on a stage and tells a crowd 'you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore,' he’s not confused."

... since Canada is busy, and not prone to interfering with other countries, perhaps the Taliban could do it...?
