You might not take an interest in politics but politics will take interest in you. If they take rights away from one of us they take rights away from all of us.

The job of a good message isn't to say what is popular. The job of a good message is to make popular what we need said.
Trump's approval on immigration and deportations plunged after Kilmar Abrego Garcia was sent to El Salvador. Then it sank again after Trump sent the military into Los Angeles—along with how voters rated his deportation policy. Approval on both issues is now down 20 points from the start of his term.
This is how we win. Never cede ground on your position on ‘losing’ issues or you leave an opening for your opponent to define you

I’m sick and tired of House Republicans passing policies that favor billionaires over hardworking Minnesotans. As we go into this year, I’m more fired up than ever to counter their cruel agenda with policies that put Minnesotans first.
My message to House Republicans this year?
Bring it.

It is a remarkable reversal of his administration’s wariness of foreign entanglement. But it remains unclear how he would secure Venezuela if its army and militias choose to resist
Donald Trump wants to run Venezuela, and dominate the western hemisphere
Snatching Nicolás Maduro and attempting to take control of Venezuela and its oil is an extraordinary display of the new “Donroe doctrine”

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources.
Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.
