January 3, 2026, and the Day the United States Decided It Was the Government of Venezuela
Regime change, now with a press release and an IOU. On January 3, 2026, the United States woke up to a sentence that used to require months of debate, a roll call vote, and at least the pretense of international consensus.

When foreign policy becomes a midnight post and democracy is optional paperwork.

When you rename a crisis, you also rename what you’re allowed to do about it.

ISIS “Comes Back” Again and Trump Administration Pretends It’s a Plot Twist
Three Americans dead near Palmyra, serious retaliation promised, and the same old lie that a victory lap is the same as an ending.

Trump Flirts With Weed Rescheduling and Wall Street Immediately Smokes the Hopium
A CNBC headline, a market rally, and an entire industry watching the federal government like it’s a moody landlord who might finally fix the heater.
