NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.

We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources.

Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.

Regime change in Afghanistan to remove the Taliban resulted in the return of the Taliban

Regime change in Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein resulted in the rise of Daesh (ISIS)

Regime change in Libya to remove Ghadaffi resulted in chaos and a decade plus of civil war

1/3

So Grandpa McFudlepants won't get lost.

America is always at its best when we stand together. We the People are the first 3 words of our Constitution because WE are what makes this country the United States of America. All of us. Together.

UPDATE: according to @nbcnews.com Trump is deploying ICE tactical units in Philadelphia, Seattle, New York, Chicago, Northern VA

BE WARNED…

If Trump is serious about making real change rather than just issuing a press release, he will support legislation I will introduce to ensure we pay no more for prescription drugs than people in other major countries.

If we come together, we can get it passed in a few weeks.

They don't know anything.
They don't give a fuck about firefighters.
They don't give a fuck about anyone.
They only love money.
It's disgraceful. #Disgraceful #Firefighters #Cancer #FirefightersCancer #RFKJr #Bobby

“We’re cutting healthcare from families who are suffering to pay for tax cuts for the rich. It’s a crime happening in front of the American people.”🔥

Yup. That’s the one.

Opinion | A Road Map of Trump’s Lawless Presidency (Gift Article) A diverse group of legal scholars flashes red warning lights about the future of America.

So that all can read, I am gifting today’s NYT piece on the lawless presidency of the 45th President of the United States.

When people at the top talk about “short term pain” from tariffs–they aren’t talking about their own pain.

They’re talking about working people's pain–when folks will lose their homes, health care, and not be able to put food on the table.

Illinois’ Democratic governor JB Pritzker possesses the kind of fighting spirit we need take on and topple a tyrant like Trump. Pritzker is teeming with fierce opposition to the madness of MAGA — precisely what Americans need at this dangerous point in our nation’s history.

Theater of Cruelty: The White House as Public Stocks for a Kakistocracy Trump’s White House lawn stunt reveals the low-rent soul of a regime desperate for power, and proud of its own vulgarity.

Today the White House turned the lawn into a public stocks, plastering signs of “illegal aliens” like campaign ads. No trials, no names just pure spectacle. #DueProcess

3 One lesson from the ancient high places is clear: Leaving them intact welcomes spiritual weakness and estrangement. If we tolerate these outposts of the world, the lives we risk are not just our own—those who look to us as an example of how to live may be the ones to reap the whirlwind.

2 We became responsible for rooting out those outposts. The apostles' warnings about the dangers of the world teach us that we did not tear down all our spiritual high places or that we allowed some to be rebuilt over time. Resisting the world's influence is a full-time obligation!

1 Statistically, whenever two options exist—one good and one bad—in time, some people will always choose the bad option. We find ourselves in a circumstance, surrounded by behaviors, beliefs, and cultures opposed to goodness. We can liken the pagan high places to outposts of the world in our lives.

This is a resource for keeping track of all the things that happened this week.

In any other time in American history, 1/10th of this scandal would be the end of a presidency. But this is just like a day that ends in Y. This is our life now.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

The Corrupt Supreme Court Strikes Again The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process.
