I’ll be surprised if it’s something besides “We hope our republican colleagues will work with us, otherwise we’ll be forced to write a strongly worded resolution opposing this.”

I guess this means the international community can also kidnap Trump and bring him to the Hague to face mass murder charges...

What good will come out of it?
A dictator captured another dictator for a trial in the US?
Under what authority?
How will Congress respond?

In my entire lifetime I can think of another situation exactly like this one. This is illegal and unconstitutional. Why is Congress doing nothing? We the people need to make it known we do not support this illegal and immoral action.

So is this Panama 2.0? Bush 1 also didn’t get Congressional approval and claimed that the invasion was to stop drugs, but it was about the Panama Canal. What will come of this? All I know is that Jack Smith had proof that Trump committed crimes, and reports show that Trump is in the Epstein files.

First minute of Tony Dokoupil's debut as CBS anchor is pure Trump propaganda, showing only celebration of Trump's kidnapping, plus illiterate grammar: "Commandos raiding his compound before dawn grabbing he and his wife in their pajamas."
No, Tony, grabbing *him*.
He's all jaw.

Not even months later—just one month and two days!
In all of American history, I’m not sure there’s been a more logically incoherent pair of actions than Trump pardoning a drug trafficking head of state, and then months later ”justifying” a foreign invasion by going after a head of state for drug trafficking.

Trump did it again. This is his 2nd post pushing a conspiracy that Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman murdered in her own home.

Trump is just straight up admitting this is a war for oil, and that he is willing to send our blood and treasure, to “run Venezuela,” whatever the hell that means, with no plan.

Regardless of whether Maduro is under indictment, he was not “captured” like some escaped convict
He was illegally abducted by Trump and his cronies in an invasion of Venezuela which was NOT approved by Congress

I'm boosting myself to say this:
You're going to see people On Here tell you calling electeds doesn't matter. That's not true.
Some are bots. Some are people who like being contrary to be edgy.
But calling moves the needle, especially against a blatantly illegal act by Trump and Co. ACT.

Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important.
Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.
