(1) If we can cough up $300M for a Trump ballroom, we can cough up $1M for every tax-paying American. Period. Democrats should run on a “Project 2026/2028” plan: a no-strings, tax-free, $1M stimulus for everyone.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.
But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

Q: Who will run Venezuela?
Trump: "It's largely going to be for a period of time the people that are standing right behind me. We're going to be running it."
Behind Trump is Marco Rubio, General Cain, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and John Ratcliffe.

Hey yeah people in the US?
Your President bombing a country is an act of war.
War requires congress’ approval, which he do not get.
He’s acting on his own whims.
You have a constitution designed to stop this from happening. Use it. Quickly. Before more innocents are killed.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

We're Russia now. A rogue state run by a dictator who invades sovereign nations without provocation, openly corrupt, selling off the nation to its oligarchs, squashing free speech, attacking political enemies, crushing dissidents/LGBT/minorities, state Christianity, even a white/blue/red flag. 🇷🇺🇺🇸🤬🤮

Another talking point that will be promoted on rightwing media - Venezuela was some sort of threat to the United States. This is a figment of Trump's imagination. There were ways to mitigate the government of Venezuela without taking Maduro and his wife into custody.

Republicans could immediately go into session. As many as needed could become independent and caucus with the democrats. That group could immediately put an end to all of this in a matter of days. This is the law, and they know it.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.
