Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Trump is the first US president to bomb 7 countries in one year. Based on verified reports from Al Jazeera, Fox News, Washington Examiner, and CBC, the seven countries targeted by US strikes under Trump in 2025 are: Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Nigeria, and Venezuela.

Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated. This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

some thoughts on all of this madness from earlier in the morning youtu.be/-yUi-0vNlDA

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

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something." They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable. These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Really stark to see such division and incredibly disappointing to see The Washington Post go down the path of lawless authoritarianism. Jeff Bezos will go down as a villain of this era, and that is as it should be.

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

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"

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.

I trust the American people will LOUDLY voice their opposition to this idiotic and plainly illegal venture and that we'll be demonstrating against it, and our cowboy president,, beginning today. This stuff cannot go without being widely condemned.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

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

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.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but this is all batshit crazy. We now “own” Venezuela, US troops will take over, & as I said months ago Trump will steal all the oil. And this insane regime didn’t even bother fabricating evidence to justify this. Meanwhile, Republicans have surrendered Congress

Assad has a new roommate in Moscow. Wonder if she arrived with a suitcase containing $50 million? Dems better start pummeling hard on this. There is more going on behind the scenes with Trump than just an illegal invasion. Trump/Putin/Maduro plea deal????

It’s America that needs regime change. Remove Trump.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

📌"The only United States President in history to violently attack his own country, and attempt a coup to stay in power was always going to be a threat to illegally attack other countries like Venezuela, and destabilize the entire world. Everything must be done to immediately remove him from office."

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

Now Cuba is being lined up as a new target. Rubio has never been so excited on camera.

Trump: “We’re going to run Venezuela until a safe transition takes place.” An invasion.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Trump’s press conference is appalling. He has announced that the United States is now running Venezuela and he is “not afraid of ‘boots on the ground’.” It is, however, also a corrective against the narrative that Trump has lost his mental acuity. This is the same Trump as we have seen for years.

Trump is really fighting to keep his eyes open while Caine goes on and on

It’s about oil.

Stop calling it war. These are terrorist attacks being committed by the US government. Every foreign nation should be lining up sanctions.

Exactly one month ago.

Trump just illegally bombed Venezuela and sent in troops without congressional authorization. Innocent people are going to die because this demented bastard wants to waive his tiny dick around to force a regime change.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Perigean tide in Monterey Bay. Today’s high tide is among the highest in several decades, near record territory. #MitchellsCove #KingTides #SeaLevelRise

Don’t let this go unnoticed just because it’s the holidays!

🧵FEMA workers are calling it a “New Year’s Eve Massacre” In the final days of the year, the Trump regime began issuing termination notices to FEMA’s Cadre of On-Call Response and Recovery, known as CORE. These are not distant bureaucrats.

Why doesn’t the President know whether he got an MRI or a CT scan??

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

Amid whitewashing of history of Capitol siege, new transcript of House interview w/ Jack Smith highlights police injuries: "Cracked ribs, traumatic brain injuries, smashed spinal disks & heart attacks as rioters used bats, flagpoles, chemical sprays, stolen police shields & batons"
