We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

-He's still bombing boats to 'fight drugs' (while pardoning drug offenders of the worst kind)
-He's spreading Russia's rumors like the useful idiot that he is
-He wants to fire AND sue the Fed chairman (for not helping him BS the country)

In other words, he's still a lying, lawless SOB.
Public Service Announcement: Trump still violating the Constitution every day.

"The American people believed Donald Trump when he promised on the campaign trail that he would get our nation out of foreign wars, but this morning we awoke to another stark reminder that he is—and has always been—a liar who has never cared about keeping his promises."

Snapshot: A Deeply Appalling Press Conference
It's worse than I thought. Trump plans to "run" Venezuela and does not pretend he cares about anything beyond taking the oil.

The Venezuelan people elected Edmundo González to run their country.

Not Pete Hegseth or Marco Rubio.

The American people do not support another expensive foreign war that risks the lives of our men and women in uniform.

I’m old enough to remember when there used to be a Congress that knows it’s a separate branch of government with actual responsibilities articulated by the Constitution.

"If we hadn’t already, we’ve unquestionably joined the league of ordinary nations—a league in which we’re acting as little more than a bully, and in circumstances in which no obvious principle of self-defense, human rights, or even humantarianism writ large justifies our bellicosity."

Me on Maduro:
200. Five Questions About the Maduro Arrest Operation
Friday night's U.S. military operation in Venezuela was a textbook violation of international law. It's also entirely unauthorized by U.S. law, which ought to (but probably won't) matter.

I know in this age of Trump what’s right & wrong no longer matters, & the law no longer matters. So I’m probably just shouting into the wind, but…what we just did in Venezuela is immoral & illegal. And it makes us no different than any other dictatorial regime that invades another sovereign nation.

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

FOR G-D’S SAKE, SENATOR SCHUMER

WHY ARE YOU WAITING FOR THE REPUBLICANS

WHO CARES WHAT THEY WANT TO DO

THEY’VE PROVED OVER AND OVER THAT THEY’RE TOTALLY IN TRUMP’S POCKET

THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO TAKE ACTION

NOW
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

And Schumer is not up to any meaningful task. Senator Mark Kelly… I noticed he hasn’t posted anything. I suspect he is actually doing something.
The depth of idiocy happening is staggering. Apathy is sickening.

The impotence of this Congress is a choice; a decision they are making to allow a rogue president commit crimes.

Buffering.

Today's military action in Venezuela and the kidnapping of Maduro was illegal. What's the plan?

Truly Trumpian grift. Insider trading on an illegal invasion.
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.
