Trump declares he is enacted a blockade on Venezuela until they "return the oil, land, and assets they've stolen from the United States."
This gaslighting is even worse than Bush demanding that Saddam Hussein "disarm his WMDs or the United States will invade," knowing full well Hussein had no WMDs.

The killing of shipwrecked survivors at sea is a textbook violation of the laws of war.
If Hegseth is so proud of the killing of these survivors, the Pentagon should release the full video, just like they have with other boat strikes.
The American people deserve full transparency & accountability.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.
