The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?

I've seen lots of people say that this is a Proud Boys song. It isn't. The Proud Boys picked it up and started singing it at rallies. If I had to guess, that's how it got into the wider right-wing consciousness.
But even then, a Pine Tree Riots account on X notes: the lyrics are pretty explicit.

Based on the size of the task and authority ICE actually has—merely executing judicial warrants for already-identified undocumented persons—we'd expect an ICE "surge" in Minneapolis to be about 100 agents.
Trump sent *30 times that*.
Because he wants to declare an insurrection.
