Sean Mooney 2,086 Posted Thursday at 02:49 AM "Trump does not care about drug trafficking. If Trump cared about drug trafficking, he wouldn’t have pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was serving 45 years in prison after being convicted of conspiring to distribute 400 tons of cocaine in the U.S. If Trump cared about drug trafficking, he wouldn’t have pardoned Ross Ulbricht, who was serving a life sentence after founding a black market website on which more than $200 million worth of illegal drugs were sold. If Trump cared about drug trafficking, he would criminally prosecute the Sackler family, who got rural America hooked on OxyContin. If Trump cared about drug trafficking, he would crack down on cryptocurrency, which is a boon for drug traffickers to launder money, instead of having his own cryptocurrency firm." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We’re getting oil prices down, and we’re going to be giving money to Venezuela, which they desperately need.” Mr. Trump’s remarks came hours after administration officials said the United States plans to effectively assume control of selling Venezuela’s oil indefinitely, part of a three-phase plan that Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined for members of Congress. While Republican lawmakers have been largely supportive of the administration’s actions, Democrats on Wednesday reiterated their warnings that the United States was headed toward a protracted international intervention without clear legal authority. During the wide-ranging interview with The New York Times, Mr. Trump did not give a precise time range for how long the United States would remain Venezuela’s political overlord. Would it be three months? Six months? A year? Longer? “I would say much longer,” the president replied. [...] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Todd Young, R-Ind., after he voted in favor of the Venezuela war powers resolution. "The President and members of his team have stated that the United States now ‘runs’ Venezuela. It is unclear if that means that an American military presence will be required to stabilize the country. I – along with what I believe to be the vast majority of Hoosiers – am not prepared to commit American troops to that mission." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Senate advancing the war powers resolution is the bigger news story (check what's trending on Twitter/X) If you think the emptying of torture centers is as important or more important news, then start a new thread on that and it will perhaps get the attention you think it deserves.

In an early-morning Truth Social post, Mr. Trump said he had canceled a “previously expected second Wave of Attacks” against Venezuela. Seven political prisoners were freed on Thursday, in what appeared to be a modest gesture since the U.S. ouster of President Nicolás Maduro. Mr. Trump called the releases “very important” and said they showed that the interim government was working well with his administration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
