Chris Murphy: "Over and over again we have seen these warmongering neocons, many of which have influence in this White House, cheerlead us into war under the guise of removing a very bad man. That ends up getting a lot of Americans killed."

Let alone that it's a very bad man in command of our troops now, and we have fairly explicitly joined the forces of global evil.

1/ Russian warbloggers are furious and chagrined that the US has done to Maduro and Venezuela what their country has failed to do over four years to Zelenskyy and Ukraine. They say it shows Russia's weakness and condemn the Venezuelans for failing to fight. ⬇️

The most ignorant regime ever. Please explain how you invade another sovereign nation, kidnap its leader, and have to "wait and see" what we will do next!?! Is anyone out there who can make this make sense? I'll wait........... #Venezuela

We are living in an era of rogue criminals masquerading as world leaders. 😳👇

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

To my new political party: He is a dangerous, dictatorial madman who must be stopped, and my former political party will do nothing to stop him. Democrats, you must realize these are unprecedented times that call for unprecedented actions. He must be stopped. Meet this moment.👇

RUBIO: Maduro was indicted. Nobody ever did anything about it. STEPHANOPOULOS: Hernandez was convicted by a jury RUBIO: The pardon authority is something I'm not involved in STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support it? RUBIO: I wasn't involved in those deliberations. I haven't looked at the case file.

I flatly refuse to believe that Kamala would’ve had things this fucked up.

THIS WAS AN ACT OF WAR AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. But put that aside for a second… What’s wild is that Marco Rubio isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s not hiding that the invasion of Venezuela is about oil. This is going to end up a dumpster fire…

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."

The irony is, if Trump had framed it as "elements of Venezuela's regime acted, with our assistance, to remove Maduro as a roadblock to resolving the crisis", the whole thing could have come across as a decent-size win without the baggage of kidnapping and colonialism.

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power? CHRIS MURPHY: What changes? You just heard Sen. Cotton not be able to explain who's running the country

If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….

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"

Impeach, convict, remove.

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?

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?

🎯

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Venezuela has almost 20% of the world’s oil reserves. This war, and it is a war, serves many functions, especially to distract people from the economy as they pay off their holiday debt.

I thought it was a hoax.

Do ABC and CBS exist for the public good, or are they legally obligated to do what's best for their shareholders whether it's bribery or not?

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

This alone could get Mamdani reelected.

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

Do you really think the fascists are going to yield power or allow any checks or balances to be reinstituted, without being forced to respect the rest of us equally?

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

When will Americans realize that Trump works for Putin? If they finally do, will they do anything about it?

A few days ago many reported of the death of Denis Kapustin, one of the Russian volunteers fighting alongside Ukraine. In fact, he is very much alive. This was revealed today in a teleconference where Budanov was present.

No way Drumpf would EVER understand this.

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.

Although I agree, I do wonder how the math looks, considering the amount of support from first or second generation immigrant communities there was for Republicans in the 2024 elections; This could well be one of those things that feels good but isn't actually true

The more you know…

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.” -r/t Acyn #BlueSky #NewsSky #PoliSky

Ohh yeah that must have went real well … what a loser. Do not know any President that was ever all alone. This is grueling to watch. America deserves better. CONGRESS ???

Oh. my. god. This is the Asst. US Atty General calling people -- in print -- "hoes."

Hillary was uniquely bad; she's manipulative and insincere, changing and tailoring her accent to her audience and "admitting" to a predominantly black audience that she carries hot sauce with her in her purse. She's the poster child for what's wrong with the DNC.

Fraud?

A national guard soldier was attacked and killed on his watch

#SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.
