Just sharing the link goes a long way, too.

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.

@davidcrowleyfan Demetriou is no coward.

State Rep. Steve Demetriou deconstructs what happened to Republicans, calling it "worse than the worst-case scenario we expected."

Nobody knew who Don Leonard was?

[K. @IbaraEleven]

Nobody knew who Don Leonard was two days ago. Now everybody is talking about him. That’s how quickly you can make a name for yourself with a tiny bit of courage and shows how starved people are for just a little communication and honesty from their representatives.

[Ohio Shadow News @OhioCrawler]

@KingGame Yup. There were too many out-of-state blue checks tweeting about him for them not to have been paid. Laura Loomer at the top of the list.

[Ohio Shadow News @OhioCrawler]

Definitely happened in Ohio.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

Musk buying Twitter, as @AdamSerwer points out, lured conservatives into the trap of thinking that X is real life - and they paid for it.

@MTomPatt He and Acton were granted state security details through OHSP during the campaign. He was NOT with them the night he tried to get into the Knicks security zone, though.

[Ohio Shadow News @OhioCrawler]

I think it’s beautiful that the last tweet the notorious conman ever wrote himself before abandoning Twitter was him going against the advice of his entire team to call me a mentally ill leftist blogger before lying his ass off about being a lifelong Cleveland Cavaliers fan.

[Michael H DiSabato @mhdisabato]

I’m ready to testify … is he?

[Substance @SimplySubstance]

Don Leonard gives an exclusive update to Joy Reid on his conversation today with Hakeem Jeffries:

“I said, ‘Look, the Democratic Establishment is in the toilet, they think we’re as bought out by the corporate interests as the Republicans, and to be totally candid, Leader Jeffries, your name is synonymous with the Democratic Establishment…”

@ettingermentum I lost my race and when I checked Ojeda's... it was like watching that plane hit the second tower all over again.

If you guys weren’t following the WV03 NYT live poll in real time in 2018 you can’t call yourself a real Ojedahead

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard — who has gone viral — tells me senior Democrats threatened him with “consequences” if he refuses to back Hakeem Jeffries for House Speaker

[Ohio Shadow News @OhioCrawler]

@GailFrisbee Let us pray 🫶🏻

[Ohio Shadow News @OhioCrawler]

The other big reason why I want Leonard to have long-term success is he’s the only member of the Ohio Congressional delegation opposed to Israeli weapons and monetary aid.

He’s too important to the longterm project to get made an example of this early in the game.

Today's Rooster dispatch warns Congressman-Elect Don Leonard about the perils of a sole kamikaze mission against the inevitable Speakership of Hakeem Jeffries.

Fowler-Arthur also thinks dinosaurs roamed the Earth beside mankind. And she’s the House Education chair.

[Josh Williams DUI Golf Cart @JoshWilliamsDUI]

@OhioCrawler Rep Sarah Fowler Arthur is laser focused on keeping child marraige legal in Ohio (when she’s not busy mandating that the Holocaust be taught from the Nazi perspective and protecting Larry Householder). She somehow got re-elected.
