Why yes, because everything Trump does IS BAD HOW HARD IS IT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND
Some Democrats hate that their party is largely positioning itself in opposition to the operation that resulted in Maduro's capture.
"Everything Trump touches must be bad according to the base," one House Dem told @axios.com
Said another: "It looks weak." www.axios.com/2026/01/04/m...

Rank and file Dems know what’s up. Leadership though….
Congressional Democrats furious at Trump over Venezuela/Maduro, with some floating retaliation.
Ramirez: "Trump must be impeached."
Huffman: "We are in 25th Amendment territory now."
"The president has lost his mind," says Rep. Gil Cisneros.

Schumer: “I was in the SCIF on 3 different occasions … I asked them: Are you pursuing regime change? Are you intent on taking military action in Venezuela?"

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

It’s darkly humorous he can’t even muster the ability to give some lip service to democracy or allowing the Venezuelan people to choose their leader.
FOX & FRIENDS: What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so he can face American justice?
TRUMP: Well, we're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it, just take over where he left off. So we're making that decision

I don’t understand why this is a hill the Progressive Caucus wants to die on. Democratic voters in Illinois’s 4th district deserve to pick the nominee of their choosing, and not having one shoved down their throats.
NEW: Progressive Caucus members discussing a retaliatory measure against Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez for her efforts to rebuke Rep. Chuy García, @axios.com has learned.
The measure would accuse MGP of violating her no corporate PAC pledge, sources tell me. www.axios.com/2025/11/18/m...

It's funny because when Democrats initially decided to make this shutdown fight about ACA subsidies, the consensus here seemed to be that this was too easy for Republicans because it prevented stove-touching. Now it seems we may just let them put their entire face on the stove.
If this is the case—IF—the Repubs must have cut deals with individual Senators.
But then wouldn’t it need to get through the House again?
This would be a bad deal for the country, but man would it be a (completely self-inflicted) political disaster for the Republicans
