James Comey reacted to the judge’s decision to dismiss the criminal case against him.

“A message has to be sent that the president of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies,” Comey said in a video posted to Instagram.

I don’t care what your politics are, you have to see that as fundamentally un-American and a threat to the rule of law that keeps all of us free,” James Comey said.

Comey said President Trump will probably go after him again.

“I know that Donald Trump will probably come after me again, and my attitude is going to be the same. I’m innocent, I am not afraid, and I believe in an independent federal judiciary,” he said.

Democrat Sen. Ruben Gallego Responds to Mark Kelly Investigation: "F*ck You" to Trump and Hegseth

Gallego: This is fcking insane. We should all point out how fcking insane this is. Hey, this is Ruben Gallego, I’m traveling through Arizona right now, and I just see the news that Department of Defense is starting investigation against my seat mate, Mark Kelly. this is fcking insane. We should all point out how fcking insane this is. And, you know, these guys are trying to say that they’re not acting like fascists, they’re not trying to give as much power to this president as a king, that they should stop acting like it.

Mark Kelly is a patriot. There’s no reason why they’re going after him. He was doing his duty and just reminding people about their rights as service members. And, you know, Secretary Hegseth, all these guys, fuck you guys. You’re not gonna be able to scare us. We have a right to defend the Constitution of the United States. We have a right to tell our other service members that they have they, they have a right to ignore illegal orders, and you’re not going to be able to intimidate us.

Venezuela Says Trump Has Designated 'Non-Existent' Drug Cartel As Terrorist Org; US Covert Ops Believed 'Imminent'

With talk of anti-Caracas US covert operations set to begin imminently, President Trump's labelling of the so-called "Cartel de los Soles" as a foreign terrorist organization has become official, and taken effect Monday.

However, Venezuela has hit back, rejecting the label and going so far as to call the group, which translates to "Cartel of the Suns, as "non-existent".

"Venezuela categorically, firmly, and absolutely rejects the new and ridiculous fabrication by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of State, Marco Rubio, which designates the non-existent Cartel de los Soles as a terrorist organization," said Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil on his Telegram account. Caracas is dismissing it as an 'absurd' lie.

Gil claimed that this revives "an infamous and vile lie to justify an illegitimate and illegal intervention against Venezuela, under the classic U.S. regime-change format. This new maneuver will meet the same fate as previous and recurring aggressions against our country: failure."

Indeed the Trump administration has admitted that regime change targeting President Maduro is an option which is on the table, amid the unprecedented military build-up in the Caribbean.

Reuters has said that Trump held several meetings with senior advisers last week to explore options for a possible military strike on Venezuela.

But then later the commander-in-chief said, "I can’t tell you what it would be, but I’ve kind of made up my mind" while aboard Air Force One.

President Maduro has lately compared the situation to the US invasion of Iraq, well-known to have been launched on false claims about weapons of mass destruction. He accused Washington crafting "a bizarre narrative" since it cannot accuse Venezuela of hiding chemical or biological weapons.

The US has lately linked Fentanyl trafficking with "chemical weapons" - given the substance is technically classified as dangerous chemical substance.

Meanwhile, on Monday Fox News has issued the following headline: Venezuela 'covert actions' could begin soon, reports say.

Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and Oracle issued $121 billion in debt to fund AI bets — 4x than usual: Report

Five AI hyperscalers, namely Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and Oracle, are increasing debt this yea, four times than that of usual.

According to a new analysis by the Bank of America, the big five artificial intelligence (AI) hyperscalers have been increasingly funding their AI investments through debt, as they pledge more money into the latest technology in hopes of scaling their business.

Bank of America analyst Yuri Seliger said that Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and Oracle together have already issued $121 billion in debt this year.

In his research note dated November 17, Seligar said that out of the $121 billion debt, $27 billion alone was used to fund the new data centre of Meta at Richland Parish in Los Angeles. Additionally, Amazon has also issued a new debt amounting $15 billion on November 17.

CoreWeave shows what an extreme version of the same dynamic looks like: ~$14 billion in debt, interest expense vastly outpacing operating income. If a “challenger” platform is already strained, it suggests the broader debt-heavy ecosystem may be more fragile than it appears.

Tech giants issuing debt are now paying extra spread (10-15 basis points over previous) on new issues. That hints that credit markets are beginning to question the quality of the debt. Higher borrowing costs accelerate the “bubble” risk you described.
