We're adding today's attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of the leader of a sovereign nation's leader as yet another reason to impeach and remove Donald Trump.

The Trump administration is breaking every level of law and morality that exists. He just continued our shameful imperialist history into this fresh new year by bombing a foreign capital and kidnapping a foreign leader. We MUST put an end to his administration NOW.

Hi, American here, I just want to let the rest of the world know that if y'all let us get away with kidnapping the leader of a sovereign nation without at the very least building a giant dome over us, then y'all are good and fucked. This is the red line, right here. You've got to stop us.

It is uplifting to be in community spaces today. The news of the shooting at Brown, the horrific mass shooting in Australia, and the murder of Rob and Michele Reinder have been very heavy. We need to cultivate love and compassion, not hate and violence.

The takeaway from TN tonight is: When we fight, we win. Don't ever let someone tell you a race isn't worth fighting for. It is still an incredible win to make a candidate from a Party that is acting despicably to answer to their constituents, and to make a "sure thing" race competitive.
