Many Venezuelan-Americans were initially euphoric thinking Trump was liberating Venezuela from Maduro. Now, especially with Trump unceremoniously kicking Machado to the curb, they realize he only intended to liberate them from their assets and resources.

Almost five years to the day since Trump tried to overthrow the U.S Government, people are expressing surprise that he’s overthrown another and is threatening to overthrow more. All those ‘don’t take him seriously’ journalists and ‘commentators’ should hang their heads in shame.

Feels like Maduro is gonna be back on a plane to venezuela before we know it but only after getting dinner at the ruby tuesday in Times Square. Nothing seems to be adding up.

Cannot believe we are living through the collapse of the American experiment. Really thought we’d have another couple hundred years.

Uh…

The U.S. is now doing to VZ what Putin wanted to do to Ukraine. What Nethanyahu wants in Gaza. Moral authority gone. Rules based order toast. Only hope for survival of a near-civil world is others see U.S. conduct as *Trump* conduct & - at some point - rules-based-order can re-commence.

So we conducted regime change with no clear plan for what happens after. Seems like we’ve done this a few times before.

The big story has been the collapse of legacy media and big law as a bulwark against authoritarianism. I started a law firm in 2021 to fight for free and fair elections. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to be a voice for the pro-democracy movement. Subscribe now to support. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

This new war in Venezuela is deeply corrupt. I will never vote to send someone’s son or daughter to war to make oil executives richer.

Stephen Miller’s wife. FFS.

THIS PLEASE

Just because we don’t have the votes to impeach him doesn’t mean that articles of impeachment shouldn’t be filed. Get it on record. Make the GOP own this.

NEW: I haven't forgotten about the Epstein Files. I've filed my response to the government in my ongoing FOIA battle to get the redaction training videos, and I break it down here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-pursuit...

The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize campaign is off to a shaky start.

Yes, he posted this👇

Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off? Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

PLATNER: “The illegal attack on Venezuela is not foreign policy — it’s gangsterism on an international scale.”

So starting a war in Venezuela means inflation will go down along w unemployment & housing will be affordable & health insurance will be cheaper & grocery prices will go down & we don't need to ban books anymore & everyone who is an Epstein pedophile will be arrested right that's what this means yes

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

How are Americans allowing their country to do this? Do they think what he is doing is ok? They must be ok with Putin and Hitler as well.

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened: -- a second strike against Venezuela -- Cuba -- Mexico -- Colombia -- Iran -- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

Umm, this says absolutely nothing about supporting impeachment. My Senator would not support it given he’s voted for 60% or so of Orange nominees. We have a literacy problem in this country.

👇🏿 👇🏻 👇🏾 👇 👇🏽 👇🏼 ARE WE ALL DISTRACTED FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES YET? 👆🏿 👆🏻 👆🏾 👆 👆🏽 👆🏼 (forget the million new files found. release what you've had all along, now, without any further delay!)

Trump always does Putin’s bidding. Putin always humiliates Trump anyway. Delcy Rodriguez agreeing to play ball but then telling Trump to F off stinks of Putin. Putin will still command that Trump betray Ukraine. And he will.

If the new rule is that any country who is led by a clearly and demonstrable corrupt, inept criminal will be invaded and have that same leader kidnapped... Trump should get in his bunker.

RELEASE THE 5 MILLION EPSTEIN FILES UNREDACTED! YOU'RE TIME IS UP!!!

Seeing that Vladimir Putin interferes with our elections, can he be kidnapped too?

Because Trump attacked Venezuela, he can now be tried in the International Criminal Court in the Hague, even though the US is not a member. Let's see if they have the courage to do so.

If we're going to stop "funding corruption," let's start with the destruction of the East Wing & building a gold clad ballroom. I'm okay with feeding & educating kids. (Also, a lot of that debt comes from the GOP's "big beautiful bill.")

The Constitution is clear: Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp to the President. On these counts, Congress has failed.

The Epstein files must be epic for him to start unnecessary wars. Don’t get distracted.

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

Today is the deadline for the DOJ to explain its controversial Epstein file redactions. Considering Pam Bondi sits in Trump’s lap, I bet they’ll miss it, just like they missed the Dec. 19 deadline. #EpsteinFiles www.thedailybeast.com/key-epstein-...

'I Can’t Afford This’ Trump Voters in Rural America Stunned as Cost of Living Keeps Rising tlpmedia.co/politics/i-c...

The oil robbery at the expense of our troops isn't the distraction. But the timing is.

NEWS: A source confirms DOJ has NOT provided Congress the legally required explanation for redactions in the Epstein file releases, despite a Jan. 3 statutory deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files. #ImpeachAndConvict47NOW

NEW: I have not forgotten about the Epstein files. Kash Patel is trying to hide his Trump redaction training videos, saying I’ve failed to prove sufficient public interest. Well, I just hit back in court. I’ll share my response with you today at noon PT. youtube.com/live/c3NVDAQ...

Back to “Where the Hell are the Epstein Files!!”

GS: “Sen. Warner said you can’t argue drug trafficking charges demand invasion in one case while issuing a pardon in another…”🤔 @marcorubio: “Maduro was indicted.” GS: “Hernandez was CONVICTED.” RUBIO: “I wasn't involved in the pardon… I've got other things going on.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

2026 already be like:

POTUS has violated Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the US Constitution, the War Powers Act of 1973, & Article 2 of the United Nations Charter. If Congressional GOP won't impeach, convict, & remove, we the people, according to our charter, the US Constitution, have a right to overthrow a regime.

Trump is turning the USA into Venezuela in order to "free" Venezuela Our American experiment is ending But yay for some country no American can find on a map I don't care if Trump achieved every campaign promise If he's breaking the law to do it

THIS RIGHT HERE

NYT Ed Board: Trump Is the Jan. 6 President. "Trump dares the system to stop him. He does so knowing that the same system that failed to hold him to account for Jan. 6 is unlikely to do so." "In Mr. Trump's second term, he has governed as if Jan. 6 never ended. The damage to the nation is severe."

The New York Times has just confirmed that 40 civilians died in President Trump's invasion. This is the aftermath in one area

"Venezuelans at celebration parties in Miami could not believe it, insisting that Trump had misspoken. His plan appears to be for Venezuela to remain under the day-to-day rule of a senior chavista, with its democratically elected leaders excluded and its wealth controlled by American corporations."
