Chuck Schumer is very encouraged by what his gym buddies tell him, privately, in the Senate gym.

CBS LOVES AMERICA
That was one of their new promises, but when President AOC reverses everything Trump has done and cuts of all ties to Israel (she will not do this, really), will CBS love that America? Of course not.
Vapid dishonesty.
Remember Bari was defended to the death for years by many senior NYT people.

A review of Bari's new best boy in Variety.
Not that that seems to be Dokoupil’s strong suit, or his interest. Elsewhere, in a segment about health and human services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s newly announced and seismic shifts to the recommended vaccine schedule for children, Dokoupil began an interview with a CBS News medical journalist by asking what this expert would say to “parents out there who are celebrating,” because they thought their kids were obliged to be injected with too many vaccines. He ended the segment by declaring “So, parents are going to have some options for themselves!” when, to a large portion of the audience, the precise opposite is true — they’ll now need a physician consult to obtain a vaccine for their child that was once more easily obtained. Dokoupil thanked his guest and announced, brashly, “You clarified it for us.” The guest could be said to have tried his best, despite Dokoupil.More than that, parents will no longer have the option to raise their children somewhere with sufficient herd immunity. Dokoupil has two young children. Maybe he should understand this.

Nice Lady
I say give her what she wants.
Hannity: Did you at any point offered to give him the Nobel peace prize?

The Center Of Attention
Trump is bored of tariffs and has discovered that he can get the same praise and attention by killing people. The press corps mostly loves exciting military murders, and he will continue to get praise for doing it, and even American military deaths won't stop that.
Here’s another thing you should understand about these guys: The only thing the elite Washington press corps likes more than a bipartisan commission on debt reduction is a stack of flag-draped coffins.
Peace In Our Time
The general European response to Trump's actions in Venezuela has been to front disapproval of Maduro, followed by some mumbled vague concerns.
Soon we will discover that they always thought the president of Colombia was worse than Hitler, and that Danish claim to Greenland was colonial overreach requiring liberation by American forces.
NATO will soon be revealed to be something left-wing critics have always claimed, but they will still somehow have been wrong.
Sir Keir Starmer has refused to be drawn on whether or not US President Donald Trump's military action against Venezuela may have broken international law.
In an interview with the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme on Saturday morning, the prime minister did not condemn the US strikes.
He said he was waiting to establish all the facts but would not "shy away from this", adding he was a "lifelong advocate of international law".
I will not shy away from the thing I am definitely shying away from.
I am so old I remember when politicians were good at this kind of bullshit. None of them even try anymore.
Sure Why Not
Gotta laugh when we can.
Two people close to the White House said the president’s lack of interest in boosting Machado, despite her recent efforts to flatter Trump, stemmed from her decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, an award the president has openly coveted.
Although Machado ultimately said she was dedicating the award to Trump, her acceptance of the prize was an “ultimate sin,” said one of the people.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” this person said.
This isn't even true. The real reason is Machado couldn't run the country. But it is funny that this is the line they are running with both for the country and for Trump. It is also "funny" that the WaPo put this near the bottom of the article.

What Is It All About Then
Maduro didn't really win the election, but the nice Peace Prize-winning lady who really won doesn't get to be in charge because she doesn't have support. It is about Maduro's tyranny, but we are putting the person who ran the security services in charge. It is about fentanyl, but somehow that doesn't appear in the charges. It is because I am going to take all the oil, and when I say this all the journalists pretend not to hear it.
The confusion is perfect for our Sensible pundits, as inventing their own reasons for wars is their favorite activity.
The Free Press
If some other outlet had published, these fearless newspapers would've taken the lead in denouncing them.
The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops, two people familiar with the communications between the administration and the news organizations said.Outlets will happily lie to their readers.
Technically true, I suppose, but we aren’t supposed to be playing by clever lawyering rules.
People were killed, including civilians, in a clearly illegal (domestic, international) attack, but nonetheless.
