Why Strikes in Venezuela are unconstitutional and why that MATTERS 🧵
When the military is used for strikes, the American people get a say first through their representation in Congress.

MS NOW is putting on John Effing Bolton to defend Trump's attack on Venezuela. We need less corporate media, more pro-democracy, pro-decency news media.

As we all said, international law, such as it was, no longer exists. The United States, following Israel’s precedent, considers itself to have the explicit authority to blatantly violate sovereignty anywhere in the world and abduct even leaders of other states.
There are no guardrails whatsoever.

Not if we do our jobs, it won’t. We need to make sure people are aware of the change, and we need to urge everyone to vote as early a possible in their states.
Barring that, we’re going to have to be willing to stand in line to vote on Election Day - we have a nation to save.

Get out the vote efforts absolutely help. The reason a lot of people don’t vote is because it’s inconvenient - some folks simply don’t *care* about politics until it impacts them directly.
And more states won’t implement mail in b/c they want the process to be inconvenient. Low turnout helps GOP.

Europe has already stepped up quite a bit, and I wouldn’t discount the amount that Ukraine is able to do domestically. They’ve got one of more impressive drone (both air and sea) programs out there. They’ve also really ramped up their missile production capabilities.

My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history.

Republicans wouldn't let Jack Smith testify in public. Instead they did it behind closed doors and released a transcript and video on New Year's Eve, hoping few people would notice.
They think it’s smart politics, but I think it’s one more attempt to cover up treason. History will agree with me.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.
