2/ Online buries the Rubio piece with the inane new hed 'Trump Says U.S. Is ‘In Charge’ of Venezuela, While Rubio Stresses Coercing It." Rubio says we aren't going to run things, we're just going to dictate policy. OK.

1/ The New York Times is a clear and present danger. The print edition has this credulous and inaccurate hed across the entire front page, which "seemingly" swallows whole Rubio's attempt to walk back, but not walk back Trump's "running Venezuela."

Ok let’s keep playing this.
Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

We also don't want to give Putin, Netanyahu, and Xi permission to grab the sovereign nations/territories they want.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Wapo editorial celebrating the illegal takeover of a sovereign nation by a craven, evil maniac, who is destroying this country. So, Putin has permission to take Ukraine, Bibi can take Gaza and the West Bank, and Xi can take Taiwan. For what? #shame

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.
But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.
Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.
Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
