-40% haven't heard much, high DKs, room for opinion to shift
-Early coalescing along party lines
-Split on military action but consensus it req'd Congress authorization
-Little appetite for US "taking control" of Venezuela

We texted 1,000 Americans about U.S. actions in Venezuela. Here’s what they said.
A Washington Post poll shows Americans are split on sending military forces to Venezuela to capture Maduro. Most say it should have required Congress’s approval.

The Jan. 6 anniversary will always be a mournful one for America. The challenge now is to make the day an aberration. Americans must summon the collective will to ensure that the violence, lawlessness and injustice of Jan. 6 do not endure.

This war and extra-judicial kidnapping is patently illegal and unconstitutional. Political leaders on both sides must condemn it. It’s not about whether Maduro is a tyrant but whether the US is still governed by laws and the Constitution. As if this morning, we are clearly not.

The indictment against Maduro is about cocaine. If we had an honest White House Press Corps, every press interview Trump did would start with why he pardoned a narco terrorist president who imported 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power.

This is how and why NewsNation became another Fox News clone.
"Advocates" are typically going to be experts on the subjects being reported, so they can explain facts and context that ordinary people.
Those ordinary people are often idiots who are often clueless about subjects.
