Real chance Republicans will lose the midterms later this year. What does this mean? I wouldn't be surpised to see annexation attempts in other weak countries in the Americas before those elections. Cuba comes to mind.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Twenty years from now, when the USA (and because of it, the rest of the Western world) is a shadow of its former self, how many voters will be able to see the direct cause was the current criminal US administration? I'm not confident they'll be able to.

Trump is exploiting our laws in ways no President in history ever did because our democracy never thought any person would get this far.
Trump has and he isn’t done.
Congress needs to shut this Venezuelan aggression down instead of voting down the ability to. Unilateral war is NOT his privilege.

I read "The Garden of Rama", the third and final of Clarke's Rendezvous With Rama books, in 1991. In it, a mob boss takes control of a colony and launches wars of annihilation and propaganda. I found it unbelievable at the time, like who would go along with this evil? Now I see it was not fiction.

No. The citizenry is incapable of recognizing the depth of this crime.
Trump has launched an invasion of a sovereign country and kidnapped its head of state, an act of war without the approval of Congress. Hegseth just testified to Congress that their military action wasn’t about regime change. He lied.
Will this finally lead to Trump’s long-overdue impeachment?

US public discourse has lost its way. Canada is well infected. And Europe is fast approaching a similar endpoint.
Here is the editor of Tablet agreeably reposting someone calling nonwhite NYC immigrants "worthless biotrash." It's astonishing how quickly this stuff has escaped containment

Devastating. Yesterday, a 5-year-old boy died from the flu.
Dr. Oz was spewing advice earlier this week where he downplayed the importance of vaccines and recommended “getting sunlight”.
I don’t know whether Micah was vaccinated, but of the kids who died from flu last year, 90% were not.
