They’re making up the Venezuela strategy as they go.

This sums it up…

“We’re fundamentally dealing with an unserious, immature Commander-in-Chief, which means we are seeing unserious policy decisions which are incredibly hard to actually analyze and discern what their purpose is.” Michael Feinberg

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Remember when a guy lost an election and then spent months making wild, baseless claims that it was stolen, leveraging the personality cult he’d built to try to get people to reject the results? And then thousands of his supporters rioted, injuring hundreds of cops?

Whatever happened to that guy?

It is not believable because this is complete bullshit.
Trump: "Transgender for everyone! Bring your kids in, we're gonna change the sex of your child. Just send them our way. In some cases, like in Minnesota, they don't even tell the parents. Nobody believes it when I say it. They operate on the kid, they don't tell the parents. It's not believable."

The Trump administration is cutting $10B in funding for social services like childcare and aid for poor families in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York.

The move appears to be a reaction to Minnesota’s Somali day care scandal, which the right has latched onto. trib.al/S390Vbr

Jeffries: "This is a law enforcement operation that involved an elite unit of the military, it involved direct military strikes in Venezuela. And we're supposed to believe this was a law enforcement action? Make it make sense. It was military action without explicit approval by Congress."

Lankford: Ha, ha, ha. I haven’t heard that, actually. So I don’t know about that.

"The stock story was the US managed a successful decapitation of the Iraqi state but made little plans for how to stabilize it afterward. We have a vaguely parallel situation in Venezuela, only the US hasn’t even overthrown the regime. It’s difficult to overstate how absurd this state of affairs is"

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

Many Venezuelan-Americans were initially euphoric thinking Trump was liberating Venezuela from Maduro. Now, especially with Trump unceremoniously kicking Machado to the curb, they realize he only intended to liberate them from their assets and resources.

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

THIS WAS AN ACT OF WAR AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.

But put that aside for a second…

What’s wild is that Marco Rubio isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s not hiding that the invasion of Venezuela is about oil.

This is going to end up a dumpster fire…

NEW: Source familiar with the Epstein files release tells me that Congress has yet to receive the Justice Department’s explanation for the Epstein files redactions.

This is another violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

When the LAPD arrests a dude at a gas station they don’t take over the gas station and use it to gas up all the cop cars tho
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?

RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.
