Trump says he will force Venezuela to hand over millions of barrels of sanctioned oil, which the U.S. will sell off under his control. Hello? This is naked extortion of a sovereign country. It’s far past time for Congress to grow a spine and rein in our tinpot dictator.

This is exactly what needs to happen. Every governor of a state with an ICE problem should do the same, and do it now.

Everyday is worse than the day before, so basically, it is always the worst day in the history of this country. Trump and Noem are murderers.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Miller is completely off the rails.

Good for Hilton, I'll be sure to consider them favorably when booking hotel accommodations. And yes, we settled the quartering of government agents question in 1789.

Legit.

#USA is not at war with #Venezuela unless and until it is authorized by an act of Congress. Until then, it is an unconstitutional action of 47 involving the DoD in an illegal move in Venezuela. The people of USA have not authorized a war. Far from it. Repost!

And an international war criminal.

This is a very important point.

Even if Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuela’s future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise. Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

This is the way.

I think the most straightforward framing that captures the severity of the situation is that the government of the United States has been seized by a mad authoritarian regime not meaningfully distinct from Putin or Kim or, well, Maduro, and its members must be brought to harsh justice

I strongly endorse this Trump renoval proposal -- by impeachment or other means.

We have to impeach him.

Co-signed.

I'm not sure the current US regime would object to a cross straight invasion. China would only need to pay us for a non-response.

And targeted economic sanctions against Trump, Musk, and the rest of the oligarchs who have seized the US federal government. The lawlessness and killing must end.

The French are correct.

💯

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.

But what if Maduro’s involvement in the drug trade was an “official act”?

This is fantastic news. Without a second headhouse, the planned pedestrian and bike bridge across the Mystic River will be largely ineffective as a transportation route between Somerville and Everett.

This is some serious 18th century energy. FO, Mike Lee.

And that clear result is ex a ctly what they want.

I'd also not be surprised if his CV is not quite as impressive as he thinks it is. Either way, he isn't unique in believing he is best qualified for a job he didn't get. Literally everybody has been there, this guy isn't remotely special.

My favorite part was where he claimed a TV show wasn't allowed to hire white writers because all their writers were white.

The House of Representatives just passed a pedophile jobs program.

I'm sorry, but how is the oil pumped from wells in Venezuela, US property?

Feel free to boost this if you'd like. I lived through the mass shooting at UVA three years ago and am more than happy to talk to anyone at Brown who wants to talk to someone that understands what y'all are going through tonight.

Decisions about font readability are now considered DEI? Everything the regime does is complete lunacy.

All part of a larger problem, being that the city of Boston has to seek permission from the state for all kinds of normal governing activities, all because the Beacon Hill Brahmins didn't trust Irish politicians 100 years ago.

Both of these things need to happen.

l.smartnews.com/p-6G86l8Q0/K... Is Trump really having a War on DRUGS??? DJT Pardoning a CONVICTED DRUG DEALER/TRAFFICKER to the USA, makes it look doubtful. What has to happen to STOP, CURB or Legally change HOW a PRESIDENTIAL PARDON is ISSUED? 🚫👑☮️🪧 🇺🇲 ⚖️📜 FIGHT DJT's LAWLESSNESS

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal. Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military. Pure, mindless, barbarism. www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-pet...

He is trotting out the talking points to explain the planned fraudulent election win.

The same regime that commits war crimes to kill drug couriers on the high seas, happily pardons wealthy drug traffickers who can "pay the fine."

This is shockingly bad, both the behavior from the regime and the participation from the university. None of this is okay.

He admits to the war crime in this long winded justification. Hegseth belongs in a prison.

She says the quiet part out loud, boldly declaring that we should invade Venezuela for an oil grab.

If he's talking about the Republican caucus, I agree that they do their best work by not showing up.

More Military personnel are calling legal military non-profit agencies seeking advice for orders they received. The DOJ has issues a order that all orders are legal & the personnel are immune from prosecution. Right there is the red flag, the prosecution immunity. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Trump is explicitly saying that the US government is bankrupt. 10 months, it took him 10 months to do to the country what he has done to every single damn business he has ever touched.

These needs to be amplified. Republicans are trying to enact a nationwide abortion ban. Shout it to the roof tops!

It's crazy how much this looks like the czarist Winter Palace.

Tempt me with a good time.

Just another day in Donald Trump's America.

Beautiful.

I love this!
