Maduro was a brutal dictator. But Trump had no legal authority to carry out regime change without Congress, to kidnap their leader or to plot the theft of Venezuela's oil. This is lawless greed that breeds criminals and dictators. The US has no king. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Schumer and Jeffries are not up to the job. Dems need new leadership.

@schumer.senate.gov FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SCHUMER STEP DOWN .. SCHUMER "Hopes" his Republican Colleagues will do something... America, God Damn

Have they drafted the statement about Maduro's suicide in his prison cell yet?

The guardrails are gone. www.axios.com/2026/01/03/t...

My statement on President Trump’s actions in Venezuela.

“Illegal, reckless, Deeply corrupt” 🎯

GAHHHHHHHHH

We have a government full of rank amateurs playing in the professional league. Wouldn't be so bad, but in this game much is irreversibly lost. A dangerous blend of narcissistic incompetence and ruthless malevolence.

Can't get anything past Chuck. He'll be sending an angry letter Thursday, Friday at the latest

This will be a shitshow.

What's the point in even having a Congress anymore? What are they going to do now? Talk tough? Write some strong worded letters? What a joke.

MAGA When Dick Cheney passed: “Dick Cheney was a war hawk! He got us into conflicts we had no business being in.” MAGA Today: “We love Trump for attacking Venezuela!”

Wtf are we even doing?

To all of you who thought, "What could go wrong electing a stupid, immature, vulgar, child rapist with advanced dementia and no impulse control as our president?": I don't like to say, "I told you so," but I'm willing to enthusiastically make an exception.

I blame every Trump voter for the horror that is coming.

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

Dog ain’t gonna wag itself.

Trump just dismissed Nobel Prize winner Maria Muchado being considered as interim president of Venezuela. He said “She’s a nice woman” but can’t run the country. What happens when the people of Venezuela decide they want self-determination? American boots on the ground will be needed to keep peace.

Gallego on Fox: "The president was very clear he wants to occupy VZ, he wants to take the oil. Nothing in what they've said so far in justification is the reason why they went to get Maduro. But going forward, he doesn't have the approval of the Congress or American public for an occupation of VZ"

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"

This.

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’s the United States that needs regime change.

Trump just claimed this was an operation not seen since World War II. For fucks sake.

“It was in the dead of night… it was dark…. The lights in Caracas were largely turned off… due to a certain… capability we have. It was… dark” What an embarrassment.

Trump says we’re going to run Venezuela until we can do a proper transfer of power. Non-interventionism is going really well.

Rubio’s face when Trump just said we were going to spend billions to revitalize Venezuela’s oil industry 🤣🤣🤣

He’s having a really hard time reading. He’s gotten lost and re-read his previous sentence twice now.

If Rubio had the ability to spontaneously combust right now, I think he would probably do it. He looks fucking miserable.

Pete: he f’d around and he found out In case you were wondering if this presser could get any more embarrassing, yeah it did

Just for kicks, could someone at this presser ask Trump for his expert assessment of the real-estate development potential of Caracas waterfront property? Thanks.

It appears that someone at NBC has royally screwed up and has prematurely released the cold open of tonight's episode of Saturday Night Live

This is wrong and will be the downfall of our country if someone isn't done. It's unfair and wrong.

I saw a quote from Rubio stating that Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Apparently, our policy is that we can now seize foreign presidents, transport them here, and our courts can try these foreign presidents to hold them accountable for crimes ... but we CANNOT do this with a US president.

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago
