I've always opposed American attacks on Venezuela and I oppose them now.
You don't need sympathy for Maduro to grasp that attacking another country for unclear, shifting rationales without domestic support or a clear plan for the day after won't make us safer.

The video shows that the driver of the vehicle turned her wheels to avoid the ICE agents who surrounded her, screamed profanity at her, and gave her conflicting orders.
They escalated the situation, put the public in danger, killed her without justification, and kept firing at her.

The Trump Administration sent ICE to communities like Minneapolis to sow fear and division.
A masked ICE agent just killed an unarmed woman without justification, and the Administration is lying about it.
This doesn't make us safer. We need an investigation and accountability.

I want to express my deepest sympathy to the family and loved ones of the woman killed by ICE this morning.
She should not have died today. This should not have happened. I can’t imagine the heartbreak you are going through and the grief you are enduring.

There is no evidence that the officer who shot the woman was injured at ALL, despite Trump’s claim here that he is “recovering in the hospital.”
Immediately after the shooting you can see him walking completely normally, and he stayed on the scene for a while before driving off.

The only time NATO’s Article 5 mutual defense provision was ever invoked was by the U.S. after 9/11.
Hundreds of soldiers from our NATO allies were killed fighting alongside American troops in Afghanistan.
Trump insulting our allies makes us weaker.

Speaker Johnson could easily place the January 6th plaque, and he knows it. The issue isn't the content, which he isn't trying to resolve.
He's trying to hide and bury the past because it is uncomfortable for him and for Trump. And he's insulting the officers who protected him.

This Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It's nowhere to be found at the Capitol
Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy is nowhere to be found.

If you don't know what Trump means when he says "we're going to run Venezuela," you are not alone.
The Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader also apparently have no idea what that means and are unable to answer basic questions about it:

Trump says he’s “pro-police” and “tough on crime”, yet he unleashed 1,500+ criminals onto our streets, many of whom assaulted law enforcement on J6. Since Trump’s pardons, they’ve committed:

- Sexual assault
- Burglary
- Death threats against elected officials

Democrats have forced a vote to restore the ACA tax credits and reverse massive premium hikes that would otherwise devastate working families.
This week, Republicans will have to choose between keeping health care unaffordable or finally delivering relief for their constituents.

Trump promised to eliminate inflation, stop endless wars, and be a peacemaker.
Instead he's driving prices higher, starting new conflicts, and threatening to send U.S. troops overseas for regime change.
