Trump says he is not considering strikes within Venezuela, which, if we’re being honest, probably means the exact opposite is true. The general consensus here, and it’s hard to disagree, is that when he declares he *isn’t* doing something, the likelihood of that thing happening increases exponentially. It’s like a reverse psychology power play. He’s said it before, right? Remember Iran? He was all about waiting and negotiating, and then… well, the bombs started falling practically overnight. So, based on past performance, “not considering” usually translates to “already decided” and “in the process of execution.”

President Trump has made several false claims regarding military deployments in American cities, including the assertion that U.S. troops engaged in hand-to-hand combat with young members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in Washington, D.C.

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein will be returning to Capitol Hill next week, hosted by a bipartisan group of lawmakers advocating for the release of government files on the sex offender. Representatives Thomas Massie, Ro Khanna, and Marjorie Taylor Greene are organizing an event to garner support for a discharge petition, which requires 218 signatures to force a vote.

During a press conference held by Jeffrey Epstein’s victims on Capitol Hill, a White House-organized flyover briefly interrupted the event.
