1. A blockade is an act of war

2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨

3. It’s always about oil.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

To feel this comfortable to talk about Trump like this, Susie Wiles either...

2) Has so much dirt on Trump, she knows he can't fire her.

At some prisons, staff said the Bureau of Prisons had stopped providing basic hygiene items for officers.

“You have to literally go around carrying your own roll of toilet paper,” one officer told ProPublica. “No paper towels, ... no soap.”

AOC: Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want you to believe that this is who we are as a country. And we are here to say that it is not. We are a country that has fought and defeated the confederacy. That has defeated a history of civil rights violations, of secret police, of fascism.

They had six guys plus a whole team of scouts - many of whom were pulled off teams going after terrorists - to arrest one guy with three misdemeanors. No wonder they can't catch the Brown University shooter.
Zurow was also on the arrest team for Flores-Ruiz, who was charged with three misdemeanors.
