Democrats Are Doing What They Do Best on Venezuela: Nothing
Donald Trump staged an illegal coup. Chuck Schumer’s response? Empty words and meaningless parliamentary maneuvers.

The awful Williamsburg Bridge off-ramp was leveled by
Mayor Mamdani and NYC DOT on Tuesday ahead of a $70 million capital improvement project that will make Delancey Street safer and more navigable for cyclists and pedestrians.

When historians attempt to analyse the wreckage of American democracy, they'll see Jan 6 as the moment that the brakes failed. It's clear that, in the days that followed, many tried to bring Trump's wreckless momentum to a halt, but when they hit the pedal, there was nothing there.

What happens if the US loses the made up court case against Maduro? Does he go back to his old job in Venezuela?

What happens if the US loses the made up court case against Maduro? Does he go back to his old job in Venezuela?
"A U.S.-backed Venezuelan government could settle those cases or fail to adequately argue their side in court, using Venezuela’s resources to award companies with hundreds of millions in damages."
BREAKING: Just weeks before the military operation in Venezuela to capture Maduro, energy giant Halliburton filed an unusual lawsuit in international court claiming the Venezuelan government owed them damages for U.S. sanctions against the country.

The US invasion of Venezuela is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter. Celebrating the capture of Maduro, Donald Trump went further, calling it an “attack on sovereignty” itself.
Countries the world over must work together to rein in the United States before it’s too late.
