This is exactly correct @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social. Thank you for voting to take up the question of impeachment during the last vote. I implore you to work with your colleagues to introduce articles of impeachment that address this usurpation of the War Powers Act. bsky.app/profile/repy...
The Trump administration launched a large scale military attack on a sovereign nation and kidnapped its sitting president, without Congressional approval and without consideration of any of the consequences their illegal actions may bring.

Ma'am you are a sitting member of Congress. You voted "PRESENT" at the last impeachment question. Had you exercised your right to reign in the executive in the past, we would not be here right now.

President Trump must cease U.S. military strikes on Venezuela immediately. The actions taken today by the Trump administration are blatantly illegal. Venezuela poses no imminent national security threat to the United States and Congress has not voted to authorize any use of force in the region.

What we are doing in Venezuela is not right! Only Congress can allow this. What are you doing to protect us from starting world war 3? We should not be attacking and kidnapping anyone.

Wolves deserve protection too
Text SIGN PGCNRL to 50409 — The U.S. House has passed H.R. 845 — a bill that would strip federal Endangered Species Act protections from gray wolves nationwide and block courts from restoring those protections in the future.
If this bill becomes law, it would:
Force the return of the 2020 wolf delisting rule
Hand wolf management entirely to states with aggressive hunting and trapping histories
Limit judicial oversight — even if science shows wolf populations are declining
This bill does not protect pets or livestock. It overrides science, removes accountability, and opens the door to expanded hunting, trapping, and state-led killing of wolves.
H.R. 845 now moves to the U.S. Senate - where it can still be stopped by you!
Please oppose H.R. 845 and support keeping gray wolves protected under the Endangered Species Act.

The irony of Trump pardoning druglord Honduran president “because he heard it was a witch hunt” but invading a SAmerican country to capture another. I wonder if he will pardon Maduro if Maduro comes up with some Crypto. Bonus question: which of his friends or family will Profit from this invasion

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.

I don't really like thinking this way, much less typing it out.
But if another 9/11 type attack were to happen on U.S. soil, I wonder if we'd get the same response from NATO, or the world in general. NATO scrambled jets to protect America that day, based on a contract and good will.
Both are gone.

I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris.
In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

Why exactly did the "peace President" Trump attack Venezuela last night, bomb the capitol and potentially kidnapped people including the leader? What exactly was the imminent threat to the USA that justified this? Spoiler: None. Trump has made the USA a rogue nation. He should be tried at The Hague
