Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

This
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

It’s about oil and nothing else ! It almost always has been in our history of interventionist policies, we could care less about the people of Venezuela… it’s always about USA

I think it's ironic that the US could be even pretending to impose "democracy" on any other country right now. Maybe try imposting it here at home first.

The press conference was at least once when trump really did "tell it like it is." It's about oil. It was always about oil.

i genuinely want to know what the hell is wrong with this guy. he is a total monster and i am a little interested in how he got to be this way.
Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has begun baselessly claiming that birthright citizenship is a massive welfare scam.

Miller has previously endorsed a theory called “remigration” that refers to the forcible removal of non–ethnically European immigrants.

Trump and Musk are weak, small men. While Musk cowers in fear over his Tesla bleeding money, Trump is getting slapped around by China and Russia. They don't have the cards.

I will say it again: If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.
So, uh, it certainly looks like DOJ intended to file a letter to Judge Liman in MTA v. Duffy, but….it accidentally filed a letter containing its legal advice to the Department of Transportation instead

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Choice is easy, lose your democracy ( and essentially USA) or lose the next election ! Which would you pick Senator ?
Senator Lisa Murkowski just said that she and her colleagues are afraid & anxious because retaliation from the president is real. This is not normal or right. Our leader is a tyrant, but the same people who are scared, are the ones who could actually stop him.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.

America, people. Freedom and stuff.
