This new Reuters report is stunning.
A week before the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader, JD Vance reportedly met at a private Montana ski club with John Addison, an oil trader who had given $300,000 to help elect Vance to the Senate in 2022. Vance allegedly asked how fast Venezuela's oil could be sold if America took control of it.
Both men deny the meeting.
Flight records show their planes parked together that day.
Two days after the Venezuela operation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright called Addison and offered his company, Vitol, the job of selling Venezuela's oil. There was no public bidding. Vitol and one rival have since made hundreds of millions of dollars.
Addison and his wife also gave $7 million to help elect Trump, and he now chairs a board advising Secretary Wright.
Congress has a duty to act.
We should bring Secretary Wright, Vitol, and Addison in to testify under oath. We should demand the phone records, emails, and flight logs. We should find out whether anyone got a heads-up about a military operation. And we should require open, competitive bidding before any company profits from our foreign policy.
If nothing was wrong, let’s see the records.

I’m grateful to everyone who is just doing their job well and you never hear anything about them.

House Republicans resorted to a blatant abuse of established procedure—bypassing a fair vote—to sneak the biggest cut to veterans’ benefits in American history. 1/

Imagine losing so much, over something so stupidly avoidable.
BREAKING: Jensen Huang departure odds soar after 5 former Nvidia employees allege he had a second extramarital affair, this time with a senior executive.
73% chance he's out by end of year.

If you’ve ever been to the spot at Arlington where Hegseth got reprimanded, you know it’s one of the most solemn, heaviest, emotional places in America. Most would never dream of being loud or laughing while we are there. But Hegseth, on Vet’s Day of all days, is a classless ass.

How fitting. The guy who covered up sex abuse at Ohio State & wanted to overthrow an election is now the Republican Leader in the House of Representatives.
It’s who they are. And it’s why they lost.

Republicans didn’t have to choose between corrupting our government and making life more expensive for everybody. They did both, and we’re going to undo both.

Democrats will have a 56-seat majority in the US Senate. We need to use it. Pass Medicare for All.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is calling for a major healthcare overhaul:
• Lower Medicare eligibility from 65 to 55
• Expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing
• Guarantee healthcare coverage for every child through age 19
Sanders says Democrats can pass these reforms with just 51 Senate votes through budget reconciliation, bypassing the filibuster... LET'S DO THIS!!

Imagine if you’re one of the people that JUST moved to Texas because you wanted to live in a red state.
Hahahahhaha

I'm not interested in investigating people just because I don't like them. I want to investigate them because I suspect they've put our national security at risk, they've been breaking the law, and they are lying to the American people.

Trump is now questioning the results of the 2026 elections — almost a week after claiming he would accept the results. He's spreading nonsense lies about early voting numbers.
John Collins retweeted
The new Congress should really focus on sending Trump single subject bills that clearly benefit the American people and force him to veto them.
Hell, name them after him, he’ll sign every fucking one without reading it.

We’re going to more than double Pennsylvania‘s minimum wage. Codify abortion rights into our state Constitution. Fund mass transit. Build more housing.
These are the commonsense things that Pennsylvanians want done.
And with a Democratic trifecta, we will deliver on all of them.
