Time for a vacation. Don't sell the good china while I'm gone, and if you bang your head on the ceiling while jumping on the bed then let me offer a preemptive "I told you so!"

The only saving grace is that Trump is a demented bully with bad impulse control. If he had waited to pull this shit until the middle of October, well... The rotten kettle of fish we're in now would seem paradisiacal.

19 states are raising their minimum wage in 2026 – but the federal minimum wage is still stuck at $7.25, far below what’s needed to survive. All workers, no matter what state they live in, deserve a living wage.

Minimum wage just went up in 19 states—workers in one state are getting a $2 an hour raise
More than 8.3 million workers are expected to benefit from minimum wage hikes in 19 states including Arizona, California, Michigan, New Jersey and New York.

Trump is the U.S. inside out. All of the hidden ugliness and secrets inverted to a proud boast. He's our deepest shame, with overt pride. Our ugliness, paraded and applauded. He's the Hyde of the American psyche - exposed and normalized. He's deeply American. And America is deeply Trumpian. 🧵

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Donald Trump is clear: he launched this war to remove a foreign leader and now he claims the U.S. will “run the country.” In other words, Donald Trump wants the U.S. to be an occupying power and control the oil.

Finance Industry Eyes Investment Opportunities in Venezuela
By

Brian Schwartz

Some on Wall Street are already considering possible investment opportunities in Venezuela following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, according to Charles Myers, chairman of consulting firm Signum Global Advisors and a former head of investment advisory firm Evercore.

Myers said in an interview he is planning a trip to Venezuela with officials from top hedge funds and asset managers to determine whether there are investment prospects in the country under new leadership. The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors, among others, Myers said. The tentative plan is for the group to travel to Venezuela in March and meet with the new government including the new president, finance minister, energy minister, economy minister, head of the central bank and the Caracas stock exchange.

Myers didn’t provide a list of individuals who were planning to travel to the country. He estimates that there will be between $500 billion and $750 billion in investment opportunities in the country for foreign investors over the next five years.

"There is a huge amount of interest in Venezuela reconstruction opportunities. And it will bounce back faster as it is in our hemisphere, and the new government will be predicated on welcoming foreign direct investment from day one," Myers said.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
