Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is calling for a special session of the state's legislature in April to redraw its congressional maps.
At a news conference Wednesday, DeSantis said the session is aimed at getting out ahead of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that bars discrimination in voting systems.

Nothing about this is okay.
The President of the United States is on Fox News right now gabbing about the U.S. attack on Venezuela before addressing the American people.
So the new order of information is: Truth Social → Fox News → the public → Congress, maybe?

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up and reassert its power. No more forever wars.

"Cognitively irresponsible" leaders do not want to explain themselves. They don't want to answer questions. They just want you to accept "because I said so" and have that be the end of the discussion. This is an autocrat. This is not a president.
Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.
