To add context, just like the Democrats who have been winning in recent elections by gigantic margins, including the very-not-centrist Mamdani. Do you have a reason to push Democrats away from a winning message?

The fact that Reagan's budget guy still thinks after all these decades that deficits and "printing money" have anything to do with affordability tells you how deep their failed ideology has burrowed into their heads. Keynesian spending is what fixed GOP disasters time and again.

It really says something that they believe only the "left" would be upset by an innocent woman being needlessly killed by ICE. Tribalism at its worst.

Perhaps so, but Jeffries's response to O'Donnell remains entirely coherent and spot on.

I find this to be entirely coherent and a solid message in response to the reckless and illegal actions of the Trump adminstration.

6) While acknowledging Maduro’s illegitimacy, he warned there was no coherent plan for Venezuela’s future or for ensuring Venezuelan self-determination. Acting without a post-intervention strategy, he said, risked chaos and repeating past foreign-policy disasters.

5) Jeffries said the real motivation appeared to be oil and U.S. access to it, yet no explanation was offered for how that would actually benefit ordinary Americans.

4) He dismissed the administration’s claim that the operation was merely a law-enforcement or anti–drug trafficking effort, noting the contradiction of recently pardoning a major convicted narco-trafficker.

3) Jeffries rejected the claim that Congress couldn’t be briefed because information might leak. When pressed, officials couldn’t give a single example of leaks from senior congressional leaders, suggesting secrecy was a pretext rather than a necessity.

2) He argued the administration appeared to be bypassing Congress, even though the Constitution clearly gave Congress—not the president—the authority to authorize acts of war. He warned that constitutional limits were being treated as an inconvenience.

1) He said the classified briefing on Venezuela left Democrats with more questions than answers. The administration failed to explain a clear plan, what would happen next, or how the action improved U.S. national security or everyday life for Americans.

Unless of course it's true that his son Nick is the killer. *shudder*

Will CBS put on a town hall with some of Rob's family? Maybe his three kids: Nick, Romy, and Jake. Or maybe with some big actors he worked with: Tom Cruise, Christopher Guest, Robin Wright, and Billy Crystal. How about it, CBS?

No lie, the next three years will be tough. On the upside, no MAGA laws will be passed in the final two with Dems taking the House. And even now, Trump is losing influence. Plus health clearly going downhill. We need to keep supporting each other meanwhile.
