It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

It doesn’t matter if Trump has congressional approval or not, the attack on Venezuela is an international crime. It is a Crime Against Peace (or Crime of Aggression). To deny this is to legitimize the conquest of Ukraine, Taiwan, and others kleptocrats and oligarchs hunger for.

A true American leader.

Lee: As a Black woman, there’s no way I don’t have hope. I’ve seen a lot in my life, and we have these moments of backward steps. But we have hope. I see hope. I see our young people—they have hope. I see them fighting hard for our democracy and for a better life.

In any other White House, this WSJ article would be immediate cause for impeachment. With Trump just add it to the pile.

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.

Happy New Year To Everyone, Including the UNHINGED LOSER "Tiny" Mike Johnson, who—despite his best but pitiful efforts—will fail miserably to stop us from extending ACA tax credits in January. Now's the time to get loud about it:

Zohran Mamdani on why improving quality of life for New Yorkers isn't about money, but about will

As Zohran Mamdani takes over as mayor of New York City, he joins his new Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice, Julie Su, to talk about building an economy that works for the many — not just a select few.

That is indeed what they did.

Lauren Boebert just reacted to Trump blocking clean water for her district after she voted to release the Epstein Files: “I hope this veto has nothing to do with retaliation for calling out corruption… I thought Trump’s campaign was about lowering costs and cutting red tape.”

On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.

A reckless trade war Rising cost of supplies USDA grants frozen or cancelled Farm-to-table programs terminated Our farmers have endured a whirlwind of challenges this year, and it’s all thanks to President Trump. www.wpr.org/agriculture/...

Pelosi: “The President incited an insurrection. We begged him to send the National Guard, they never sent them. This President is trying to re-write history… it was an assault on the constitution of 🇺🇸.”

Donald Trump targets his political enemies in order to keep power. In 2026, that won't just mean going after people like James Comey and Tish James. It will require him to target voters who he needs to disenfranchise to keep control of Congress. The fight for democracy is more urgent than ever.

Putinism, like Trumpism, is a cult. In fact, Trumpism is actually based on Putinism

I wish we didn’t have a DOJ that’s constantly breaking the law, but here we are… Let’s get real loud and tell Congress to do something about it!

🇺🇦YEAR 4/DAY 306 of Russia's 2nd illegal invasion and occupation of Ukraine. Donald Trump lied to his supporters that he could end the war in 24 hours. Trump could help end the war in Ukraine's favor tomorrow. But he's on the side of Putin. And so Russia's war crimes continue.

Happy Kwanzaa, Wisconsin! To all those celebrating across our state, Kathy and I are wishing you celebrations full of joy and community.

Where ARE the #Republicans on the dismantling of their own institution? The #corruption? The CRUELTY??? "The silence is deafening". Bravo, Congressman Joe Morelle!! MORE OF THIS!! LOUDER!!!!

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Putin & Trump should be locked up!

Greenland said “quiet, piggy”

Bipartisan Congress members to file inherent contempt charges against Pam Bondi over Epstein files The release of the Epstein files is off to a rocky start as the DOJ failed to meet the deadline to release all the Epstein files Friday. Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) and Alex Witt discuss.

‘Massive lack of faith’ in DOJ over handling of Epstein file, redactions Reps.Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) announced they’re filing inherent contempt charges against AG Pam Bondi over the release of the Epstein files. Alex Witt and panel discuss.

NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files. Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected. He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.

@rokhanna.bsky.social: "Massie and I are drafting articles of impeachment as we speak about Pam Bondi and Blanche."

Meiselas: I’ve got to ask about your reaction to CBS censoring a report it was going to air on 60 Minutes… Is this something you see investigating? Garcia: There are many members of Congress looking at this issue in particular, and I think CBS still has a lot of explaining to do.

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

Lindsey Graham sounds alarm: 'Hamas is not disarming'

Meiselas: What do you make of his attack on you? Warnock: As we say in Georgia, God bless his heart. If he’s not sleeping in Cabinet meetings, he’s watching cable news and tweeting at his political adversaries. Man, you’re the leader of the free world. People actually need you to bring relief.

Walz: "It's very clear that the entire federal government is weaponized against Minnesota. They're threatening us. And this is what happens when you have a floundering presidency and it's about those ballrooms. Now we're back on transgender folks."

🤣🤣

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

When your best friend is the world’s most notorious sex trafficker and pedophile and you were known for talking to each other about sex

1. A blockade is an act of war 2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨 3. It’s always about oil.

Trump's national speech could have been an email, sent to spam, what a waste of time

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

Today marks the one year anniversary of the horrific and tragic shooting at Abundant Life Christian School here in Madison. On behalf of the people of Wisconsin, we are thinking of the entire ALCS community today, mourning with you, and keeping all of you in our hearts.

Epstein files are supposed to be released on Friday this week. Guess we'll be invading Venezuela on Thursday.

Federal Law requires the Trump Administration to release the Epstein files to Congress by this Friday, Dec 19. Does anyone believe that they will comply with the law fully? Or, will they come out with thousands of pages so redacted that they look like black paper, with thousands of photos missing?
