The letter — signed by Rubio, then a senator, with fellow Republican lawmakers Mike Waltz, Rick Scott, Mario Daz-Balart, Maria Elvira Salazar, Neal Dunn, Byron Donalds, and Carlos Gimenez — praised Machado for “risking everything to rally the previously flagging spirits of the Venezuelan people.”

Machado proposes the reduction of the social safety net and the construction of a more self-sufficient society.

Her vision on the distribution of social funds is somewhat more American than European, as is her deeply anti-communist discourse.

Influenced by economists such as Ludwig Von Mises and Milton Friedman, Machado has an interpretation of local politics that is to the right of the traditional democratic parties of Venezuela, which governed the country before Chávez took power in 1999.

Regarding Trump's extrajudicial killings:

“I totally support his strategy,” Machado said. “And I’ve said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It’s courageous. It’s visionary.”

The MSM does not interview community organizers. It's part of why they miss so much of what happens at the local level.

To Noem, an entire state worth of officials and residents is just simply running a massive cover-up.

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · 1d

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
