We all knew it was only a matter of time before this happened – and it was likely always part of their plan.
Fear is the weapon. Division is the strategy. Democracy is the casualty.
We cannot look away. We cannot accept this.

Why is Trump creating this chaos? In order to change the subject from the struggling economy, the Epstein files, his family’s corruption and this week’s anniversary of January 6th, when he attempted a coup of his own.

Trump’s unhinged leadership is going to get American service members killed.

And, they needlessly risk the lives of America’s military, spies and diplomats throughout the world.

What does Trump mean when he says that the U.S. is running Venezuela until a proper transition? That idea is as dangerous as it is divorced from reality.

Trump made it clear today that he invaded Venezuela for its oil. His decisions will produce chaos in our hemisphere that is likely to play out for a decade or more. They will embolden those in Russia and China who seek regime change in Ukraine and Taiwan.

His record on protecting Americans from drugs does not match his tough talk. His Big Beautiful Bill is strips more than 150,000 Americans of treatment for opioid use disorder, and doctors at the University of Pennsylvania estimate it will result in more than 1,000 preventable overdose deaths.

Trump’s fraudulent drug claim is the same one he used when he crippled the American economy and drove up prices with his disastrous tariffs. It also flies in the face of Trump’s recent pardon to the Honduran ex-president, Juan Orlando Hernández - convicted of drug trafficking in the U.S. - in Dec.

When we rebuild the mess that this administration leaves us, we need to do it with less chaos and more accountability. A government that actually works for you.

Offshore wind is far from perfect. Our fishermen should have had a real voice from the very beginning. They didn’t. But pulling the plug when it’s nearly complete doesn’t fix that failure—it adds insult to injury.

It’s cynical. It’s cruel. It’s craven. And it’s further proof that the GOP cares far more about their hurtful social issues agenda than improving the lives of every American.
