Not crazy to say there was a much clearer criminal case against MBS, who ordered the murder of an American newspaper columnist, than there is against Maduro.
BARTIROMO: With all due respect, I think the goal here is to stop the drug and human trafficking into America, and I don't think Saudi Arabia is sending fentanyl into America

Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp, to the President.
The fact that Maduro is a dictator who committed grave abuses does not suspend the Constitution.

As of Monday, all of Venezuela’s ruling officials aside from Maduro appear to have remained in their posts, including Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who controls the police and was known as one of Maduro’s most fearsome enforcers.

Indiana congressman Jim Baird and wife hospitalized after car crash
Indiana congressman Jim Baird and wife hospitalized after car crash
Indiana Rep. Jim Baird and his wife are being hospitalized following a serious car crash, President Donald Trump confirmed in televised comments to House Republicans Monday.
“They’re going to be OK, but they had a pretty bad accident,” Trump said at the top of his address to a House GOP legislative retreat, where he also paid tribute to the late California Rep. Doug LaMalfa following his sudden death Monday.
Speaker Mike Johnson also addressed LaMalfa’s death and Baird’s hospitalization before Trump spoke, according to four people granted anonymity to describe the closed-door comments. Johnson said he believed Baird was dealing with a spinal issue.
It is not clear where the crash involving Baird, 80, took place. Another Indiana Republican, Rep. Jackie Walorski, was killed in a 2022 auto collision that also claimed the lives of two congressional aides and another driver.
House Republicans are already dealing with a tight 218-213 margin following LaMalfa’s death. Baird’s hospitalization could further complicate Johnson’s ability to wrangle his majority in the coming weeks — effectively leaving him with a two-vote margin.

I need people to understand that saying, "I don't like or support this politician, but the other person will be worse, so I'll vote for them," is precisely how we ended up with fascism.

The federal government barred a list of 200 words and phrases from Head Start funding applications, including "disability" and "Black." Many of the banned words are explicitly referenced in the Head Start Act which was signed in 2007.

You can listen live to the hearing held only by Democrats to commemorate the 5th anniversary of January 6th. It speaks volumes about the state of our democracy that no Republican Members of Congress are participating here, in what should be a bipartisan event.
