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.

‼️ UPDATE: Microsoft's outage now reaches far beyond Outlook. Teams, SharePoint, Copilot and even its Defender XDR security platform are hit.
Consumers can't reach their OneDrive storage or Office on the web either, TechCrunch reports.
Microsoft first blamed elevated load. Now it says a large number of its servers became unexpectedly unavailable, dumping their load onto the rest. It hasn't said why.
It is restarting the servers with a fix in place, investigating why they show high processor use, and has paused all deployments.
Bonus! The disgusting creep that is feeding you info on X is someone whose been involved in the long term harassment of other women, including the minor sex trafficking victim in my case (the first screenshot after your tweet is him, Zeazy, cheering on another one of my stalkers, Seibasexual, bragging about sending mass emails to the victims family in order to bully her into giving a deposition for my court case), simply because they are in proximity to me.
Here he is a year earlier harassing my girlfriend at the time by digging up her old OnlyFans photos and other embarassing things about her posted on other forums on the internet, all because he felt like she didn't denounce me strong enough.
I can post screenshots like this for basically every disgusting simp in your chat (or Niel's) and your DMs feeding you information about how "disgusting" or "creepy" or "sexpesty" I am, but I wouldn't really expect a vapid, empty cunt like you to care.
Screenshotting and replying to the disgusting @enemycharlie since her tweet is full of vitriol and lies. This is going to be a long one because I have a lot of strong feelings about it. :)
>I'd had a bad week and was distressed when I found out while live streaming that you had reacted to my take on the Atrioc situation, but I certainly did not cry. Idk how you even got access to that stream because I ended after an hour or so and immediately deleted it. I personally wouldn't broadcast footage of a random person being disgusted and freaked out by knowing I'd laid eyes on them, but to each their own.
Sorry? Was your publicly broadcasted opinion supposed to be completely off limits? I don't know what you think you're responding to here, I have no way of knowing your state of mind after you've gone offline. If you are feeling distressed due to reactions to your content, then perhaps you shouldn't be streaming opinions about such emotionally charged topics to the world to review? Unless you're using the word hyperbolicy, and you just meant you were "mildly upset" and were sad that a man wasn't instantly agreeing with your opinion on something.
You broadcasted an extremely radical opinion onto the internet, claiming you would murder your own husband if he'd been caught jerking off to pictures of your friends, and then stated your belief that another streamer should have his career completely ruined and should be placed on a sex offender list for life for masturbing to porn star bodies with streamer faces pasted onto them.
I suppose you're uncomfortable to people broadcasting reactions to your content when they disagree with you? Again, perhaps you should keep your opinions to yourself around charged topics.
>I didn't like that you watched my stream because you and your community have a bad reputation. I'd made an effort to never mention you because of it. I've dealt with a lot of harassment in the past, but you guy are known for being particularly litigious and having an unhealthy investment in making the lives of people you don't like hard.
A bad reputation with who? The people who have made it their goal to delete my entire presence from the internet while engaging in the mass harassment, stalking and abuse of every single person that comes near me online? Go figure, you're supposed to be a cultural and political commentator, but you take at face value something someone says about their political opposition without fact checking any of it?
You're morally lucky. You just so happen to be a part of the "correct" political movement, culturally, but not due to any work you've put it on your own to be a good human. You're only where you are because you've happened to follow the popular current of online trends; you are just as much a spineless bully as anyone in any MAGA or 4chan or equivalent online harassment community.
You say my community is "particularly litigious"...? Who in my community has launched a lawsuit? You stan Hasan, who is suing someone right now and is threatening to sue several others. I am currently being sued by another member of Hasan's community.
Do you have a single example of any member of my community being "particularly litigioous", or was that just a bald-faced lie?
>For instance, on your X page, you recently posted about looking for information on some YouTuber's wife, like her place of work.
That "some YouTuber" is Professor Dave. He recently posted photographs of a minor sex trafficking victim, forcing him to re-upload the video while slightly censoring some of her photographs, all to "own" me with his "epic takedown" of me. He uploaded another video going over the dox information of a new member in my community who's place of work and entire family were doxxed, leading to them losing their job and being essentially completely harassed out of the space.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but you're confident enough to spread lies and venture guesses about what's happened because you an spineless bully who goes along with internet crowds because you are incapable of exercising independent thought or moral judgment when it might slightly inconvenience you.
>Your associate Dan Saltman contacted Congress people and corporations that advertise on Twitch in order to strong arm Twitch into banning an ex-friend of yours (which failed).
Dan Saltman is not my associate, he's a friend who appears on my stream and did a podcast with me. You are copying this language from other anti-fans of mine who gave it to you for talking points because you are incapable of exercising independent judgment. The reason why he felt compelled to start his campaign is because Hasan Piker watches terrorist attacks and cheers on Houthi, Hezbollah and Hamas terrorist attacks against people in the west. You, and no one else in the leftist media, will ever respond to this point because you have no answer and you like to pretend these facts don't exist.
The goal was never to get Hasan banned, the goal was to get advertisers not to have their sponsored content shown alongside content that openly supported terrorist attacks, and insofar as that goes, it was succesful, Twitch removed advertisements from all political categories.
>I also know that you and your orbiters like to post links to people's tweets in discords and reddits so that you can brigade them. I've seen you do this to my friend Niels many times over, which I don't care for.
I'm sorry, what? Are we not allowed to respond to public tweets when he is directly attacking me or members of my community? Niels, AKA TheSoyPill, has spread malicious lies about me to people in both my personal and professional life, and is dropping ultimatums on them with regards to his friendship, telling them that he will not remain friends with them as long as they remain friends with me.
He also actively courts an audience that has called women my "cocksleeves" and bullies and sexually harasses other women, and other person, who happens to be a part of my space. He has one of the most toxic, disgusting communities on the internet, if you ask anyone outside of your narrow bubble (you won't) they will easily agree. I will go bar for bar, screenshot for screenshot, comparing how disgusting his community is against mine, any day of the week.
>Shortly after you pulled up my deleted stream to react to, I received an email from one of your viewers stating that your community will have to take measures to defend themselves from me. Whatever that means, but it certainly confirmed my fears that you and your viewership are vindictive and unwell.
You received a random email from a stranger claiming to be a memer of my community who began to threaten you...and you earnestly believed it was a member of my community? Is this your first day on your internet?
Notice how, despite your unhinged ravings on your stream about firearms and murdering people, and despite how eagerly other actors were trying to ramp up fears...nothing happened? No one fixated on you, there was no continual harassment...nothing happened. It's almost like you've been fed lies this entire time! I'm sure you'll reflect on it.
>I also just don't want any association with you or your community because I think you're creepy and I hate your politics. My first ever impression of you (around 2023) was hearing that you were banned from Twitch for calling upon random civilians to kill BLM protestors. As someone who has participated in a number of BLM protests, it immediately soured my opinion of you.
I'm not even sure what you think my politics is, or if you've developed cognitively to even have your own politics. I was never banned from Twitch for the event you're referencing, and I never called for "random civilians to kill BLM protestors," it was a comment about people defending their businesses and neighborhoods from rioters who were setting things on fire late into the night. If you participated in or defended riots like this then you are a disgusting, sanctimonious ghoul, and the entire world would be better off if you stopped contributing your thoughts to it.
>You're also currently in a lawsuit for distributing revenge porn, which I find to be completely abhorrent. You regularly harass the woman you distributed revenge porn of and tried to get ICE called on her immigrant wife. Recently, you posted a sexual video of a woman you were arguing with in your discord to punish her.
I'm in a lawsuit for transmitting a pornographic video with me and another person to a third party, the public publishing of it was done by said third party who the plaintiff in my court case has zero desire to pursue, despite that person catfishing me with the profile of a minor that he was sex trafficking in exchange for money from other men. Every other account you mention is you conveniently mentioning the single side of an exchange while leaving the other side out because every single "fact" you know about me has been forcefed to you by a friend because you have no moral conscience and weakly follow whatever crowd you are a part of.
>It was also revealed that you sexted with a minor. I didn't hold that against you initially because it seemed like you'd been catfished, but if the Twitter DM's of you being unsure of her age before you sexted with her are legitimate, I think that's something you should be judged for. It would suggest that you knew she might not be legal and that you didn't care.
You've already shown yourself to be severely lacking both morality and intelligence so I have no idea why you think anyone would give a single care in the world about your opinion on anything with relation to me, but I'm glad you found it important enough to share. I hope you got big high fives from the people donating you hundreds of dollars when you included it, congratulations!
>Not to mention your horrific views on the genocide in Gaza.
Spare me the moral outrage from another stupid white "influencer" girl feigning concern about a conflict and a region she knows nothing about.
>Overall, I think you're creepy and gross. I used to not mention you and was freaked out by the way your community responded to me, but I don't really care anymore. You tried to humiliate me. My hatred of you is personal now and so I have a reason to talk shit about you. If you'd left me alone, there would be one less person talking shit about you.
I seriously doubt my community ever responded poorly to you, but it seems you are either too stupid or just don't care to figure out where any of the information you now possess originates from. But it's consistent with you being a spineless hack with no care or concern for anything but your own pocketbook, so I wouldn't except anything more. I appreciate warning that you are not going to talk shit about me(!!!), I will move carefully, knowing that any day one of your disgusting simps could come crawling out of the cum-laden swamp that is your intellectually disabled community.
I suppose it all makes sense, especially since the only thing you'll ever be remembered for is slut-shaming a Christian mother for having too many different fathers for her children.
>This is why no one associates with you anymore. This is why Hasan is famous and you're washed up. He is cool and you're a creep.
The guy who lost basically every single contact and friend he had on Twitch due to his horrendous community and presence, the guy who locks himself in his room streaming 24/7 on TRT (still flabby), GLP-1s (still fat), minoxidil and Finasteride (still balding and greying), has to call the police if he sees my shadow out of the corner of his eye, the one whose bitchless, childless and friendless? The guy who can't even look straight ahead at his computer screen while he's reading off the script his friend made him so he'd stop sounding like such a clueless himbo, with his eyes bouncing around his room like a fucking pinball machine?
I wouldn't wish that existence on my worst enemy.
@BoxLoner@Whick I swear, Western lefties are legitimately a blight on this Earth.
There are many groups I would call more evil...
But very few are this fucking insufferable.
Certain Jew stalking leftie retard stalkers are in the comments I see lol
I ain't reading or replying to their "you defended an ethno state so you are a Nazi" retarded Westoid crap.
Go declare 90% of states on the planet evil then and deserving destruction.
But alas... Only want to destroy the Jewish one, hmm, not beating the allegations I am afraid 🧐
Anyone can go watch that conversation we had and see how fucking clueless SoyPill was.
Go off.
@shannonrwatts The worst people you know are already drafting up the worst faith quote tweets to this.
Tbh I've begged for a singular day off harder than that, what a nothing comment. Loser behavior.
MeidasTouch has become more and more illiberal over the past year, and while I’m sorry that hurts Brett’s feelings, I am grateful my book was a NYT bestseller. 🏆
@TheOmniLiberal How is this even a "beg", this just reads like normal networking attempt? What a absolute nothing crash out attempt. Ive begged infinitely more/harder for one day off.
@mehdirhasan Do people fall for your efforts to relitigate things from a month ago in order to obfuscate that this morning you attacked me for something that was in the thread you just forgot to read? Like an actual journalist would just delete the post out of shame. Really pathetic
@shannonrwatts He's doing the usual dumb fuck lefty thing of attempting to purity test you into the sun. Meanwhile the endless projection as he signals to his base of leopards that totally won't eat his own face the FRAME he jumps out of step.
Assuming it isn't the unlimited grift works.
I’m so good at pretending I’m a Democrat, I created the largest gun violence safety org in the nation, raised $11 million for Kamala Harris’s campaign, and helped elect nearly 1,000 Moms Demand Action volunteers to office, including the first woman Senator from South Carolina, the Governor of Virginia, and 15 other female members of Congress. Soon, though, I will finally implement my real plan: making Mike Lindell the king of America.
