Gotta get that TikTok of their international criminality.
This is Maduro escorted by fed agents upon landing in NY.
And then some are filming content on their phones? What is this.

I don’t care if impeachment ever works or not, he continues to break the law and we need to stop normalizing the criminality. Run on the conviction of Trump and his complicit cabinet of boot lickers and oligarchs as the cherry on top of the REAL foundation of policy that this..

 Love hearing that Mamdani straight up called up Trump to tell him off. A spine that the current Congress doesn’t have.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

How many times do we have to witness the national security threat that is this administration before something is done? It’s completely against ALL our interests, resources and morality in this country and people need to start speaking UP again.
As a candidate for Congress in #CA14, my full statement on the illegal U.S. strike against Venezuela. It's imperialism. It's colonialism. It's illegal. Congress must act now.

Clinton appointee Judge Alvin Hellerstein has Maduro’s case. Last spring, he barred the Trump admin from removing Venezuelans from the US under the Alien Enemies Act, which he said had been applied unlawfully

Happening now: From the bench, Judge Alvin Hellerstein indicates he’ll extend a TRO barring removals of Venezuelans detained in SDNY under the Alien Enemies Act. Detailing horrific conditions at CECOT, he partly cited the likelihood of irreparable harm.
“What way is that to treat a (human) being?”

Probably in a bathroom
Trump is posting a bunch of photos without captions, presumably of him watching the Maduro kidnapping.
Is this the inside of a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago or did they just toss up some pipe and drape?

Here we see the amazing Pete with nary a strongly worded statement. Just another milquetoast assessment of the obvious, devoid of teeth or a call to action. And some want him to be president.
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.

Democrats' stance since J6 should have been total non-cooperation with Republicans until they go back to following the Constitution. Has only gotten worse since then.
Legal formalism and demands for bipartisanship are completely at odds with correctly noting Trump's threat to democracy.
