Big Oil spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024.
Now Trump is returning the favor, giving them advance notice of his Venezuela attack and inviting them to the White House to discuss how they will divvy up control of the country's oil.

Week 1. We invaded Venezuela. We killed the ACA subsidies. We destroyed the Kennedy Center. We murdered a woman in cold blood over deportations. We threatened Greenland, now we are offering them $100,000 per person to allow us to take over their country.
First 7 days. Can we survive a year of this?

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

First, they lied about what we saw on video when ICE killed Renee Good.
Now, they're politicizing the investigation by freezing out Minnesota authorities, so the full truth may never see the light of day.
They are breaking our country. We must continue demanding accountability.

An ICE agent saying "I don't care" and preventing an innocent woman who's been shot from receiving medical care are not the words or actions of officers lawfully protecting themselves and the community. These are the words of sociopaths happy with murder.

ICE agents killing people in the streets. The naked extortion of a sovereign state. The National Guard unleashed in American cities. The Justice Department weaponized to prosecute political opponents.
The tyranny is on full display — and it's waking America up.

Hard to be passionate about Democrat politicians even when you support their policies. When current democrats are so helpless they can only complain like the rest of us while horrible things happen and people are hurting. Republicans even when a minority are disruptive and effective. Need better.
