Rachel Maddow runs through the litany of excuses and justifications the Trump administration has presented to explain the military invasion of Venezuela, and points out that none of what has been floated holds up under scrutiny. Every principle the Trump administration... youtu.be/RiitxrHxruo?...

5 years ago!! We will not forget it, a dark page in American history…..

In that batshit insane interview? Stephen Miller repeatedly (after 4:15) calls Venezuela an island. I don't rule out that Miller doesn't know the difference between Venezuela and Greenland. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/05/p...

The White House has been horny to send Stephen Miller onto CNN for a month. And I **really** do not think this helped them, at all. If nothing else it should make Miami exceedingly alarmed.

On the fifth anniversary of the insurrection, I can only say that its profoundly sad that convicted seditionists face no consequences and that Trump was ever allowed to hold office again. Jan. 6 was one of the most shameful days in our history, only the whitewashing is sadder. Its pathetic frankly.

This is disgusting. Trump is planning to cut off $10B in funding for child care and crucial social services in 5 blue states including New York. We should be expanding access to child care for American families. Instead, Trump is playing politics with our children’s lives.

I like how she says with her whole chest that Maduro being indicted by the DOJ is all the justification needed for invading a sovereign nation to arrest him. Trump was also indicted by the DOJ. Her entire network threatened to burn themselves in effigy if his cases were brought to trial.

Make sure everyone remembers this:

They’re making up the Venezuela strategy as they go. This sums it up… “We’re fundamentally dealing with an unserious, immature Commander-in-Chief, which means we are seeing unserious policy decisions which are incredibly hard to actually analyze and discern what their purpose is.” Michael Feinberg

@michaelfanone.bsky.social is a hero! The felon 47-rapist-pedo is NOT!

Sadly funny🫢 This story demonstrates that Trump is mentally incompetent and must be banned from the White House, even as a tourist thefuckingnews.substack.com/p/trump-agai...

#Pinks #ProudBlue Now that the traitor in the White House has pardoned all the J6 rioters, he’s considering paying them for trying to overthrow our free and fair elections. He’s also thinking about taking action against the officer who shot Ashli Babbitt. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Fiona Hill Warned Us In 2019

Guess who’s stuck paying the damage at theCapitol on #January6? You! Dear tax Payer. When Trump issues mass pardons, the defendants no longer have to pay restitution. #TrumpIsABadDeal

Let's not forget: The Fascist Felon himself said it was because of oil.......

BOOM !!!!!!!!!!!

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

Trump cannot erase the horrors of January 6. We saw it with our own eyes. www.npr.org/2026/01/04/n...

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #ONEV1 #DV1 Congress must pass the War Powers Resolution next week. thehill.com/homenews/sen... The regime may even escalate this unnecessary conflict to justify martial law or the cancellation of elections. Let’s act before the scenario unfolds.

I'll say it again PIN IT!!

Trump repeatedly lies about the number of drug overdoses in the United States. He routinely says 300,000 - 350,000 Americans die from drug overdoses every year. Last year it was fewer than 80,000 according to his own CDC. It's never been near 300,000.

Swalwell: He couldn't run a casino, and now he's going to run a country in South America while he fails to run a country in North America?

I’m sure there’s more to come. He’s crazy.

How many billions of U.S. dollars are going to be wasted on Venezuela (or Argentina) while its citizens lose their healthcare and its farmers face bankruptcy? We know the GOP doesn’t care, won’t lift a finger to do anything, and are just as corrupt, contemptible and have zero credibility.

🫩

In a nutshell.

Because laws don't matter in our courts anymore, because we are no longer a nation of laws. One dictator kidnapped and jailed another. U.S. capture of Maduro may be illegal; that probably won’t matter in court www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Shackles and Handcuffs to all within his Regime. End of Story

"Venezuela’s oil industry is in disrepair after years of neglect and international sanctions, so it could take years and major investments before production can increase dramatically." "American oil companies will want a stable regime in the country before they are willing to invest heavily."

Straight out of the mind of a psychotic madman. “We have to do it again. Nobody can stop us.”

“Spain did not recognize the Maduro regime. But neither will it recognize an intervention that violates international law and pushes the region toward a horizon of uncertainty and belligerence.” — Pedro Sanchez, Prime Minister of Spain. Uncertainty and belligerence, indeed. ❤️‍🩹

Hey MAGA….

Trump is a danger to our nation and to the world. He must be stopped.

Schumer and Jeffries are still holding on to the misguided notion that the GOP is acting in good faith and sooner or later they'll come to their senses and do the right thing. In the real world, we call people like this slow learners and anyone who also believes it are too.

“Trump declared ‘Donroe Doctrine,’ another moment that will stand for ages as an embarrassment to the U.S. and raises the question yet again of whether the commander in chief is cognitively stable enough to be ordering the invasion of other nations” {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation. This is madness.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

As grocery prices continue to rise, many college students are turning to their campus food pantry to help make ends meet. n.pr/4pkenxQ

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.
