Trump just ordered strikes and arrested Maduro and his wife without congressional approval. Then he went on TV to admit that he wants to control a regime change in Venezuela. He celebrated the violence of it all and then set eyes on Mexico next.
And Congress will do nothing. We are a failed nation.

ICE detention centres are for-profit concentration camps. Reports of brutal cruel, and even life-threatening treatment and scandalous conditions have shocked the world. The number of deaths in ICE detention is the highest ever. ICE is spreading terror.

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.
If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
