I hate that these law enforcement heroes must relive trauma bc the Criminal in Chief and the Republican Party shamelessly LIE to millions of Americans.

"Hernández boasted that he would 'stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses' while trafficking more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US.

"Trump freed him, saying, 'If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail'..."

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Reader comment of the moment from the NYT: “This isn’t Trump. This is the United States. I am not blaming individual Americans, but your entire government is to blame for this crime. And if you don’t stop it, you are to blame as well.”

I am haunted by the ghosts of Iraq and Afghanistan. Those military operations initially went flawlessly but the problem was in trillions of $ spent, thousands of American lives, decades of lost opportunity. Americans have zero appetite for more nation building, endless quagmires.

I do not agree with the statement that we aren't seeing mass mobilization in the US against Trump's actions in Venezuela.

There is mass mobilization in every city where ICE and CBP are operating. Do not confuse mobilization with marching and protests. Not everything is designed for spectacle.

Donald Trump wants you to forget that January 6 happened—but for one police officer who protected the Capitol, and another man who attacked it and was pardoned, there’s no forgetting, Jamie Thompson reports: theatln.tc/o2OQTnKk

Gen Paul Eaton: Trump and his defense secretary Pete Hegseth are mounting an aggressive push to politicize the top ranks of the US military–a push that smacks of Stalinism and could take years to repair, the former infantry chief who trained troops to invade Iraq warns.

Trump tells the world that this is all a law-enforcement, not military exercise. He then tells the Senate law-enforcement oversight committee that it's a military, not a law-enforcement matter. He can't even keep his lies straight.

So they don't kick in until after the midterms.
