The kidnapping of Maduro and the attack on Venezuela are blatant violations of international law and the Constitution.
Republicans must stop enabling lawlessness and stand up now.

All the establishment war hawks, the same ones who supported the failed War on Terror, have come out with tepid support for Trump illegally bombing Venezuela and kidnapping Maduro.
It's a big club, folks.
They'll never, ever change.

Trump rejected our Constitutionally required approval process for armed conflict because the Administration knows the American people overwhelmingly reject risks pulling our nation into another war.

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.

Next time you look at your greatly increased monthly bill for healthcare, remember that Republicans chose to use the money set aside for supplements to defray your costs to, instead, invade Venezuela to make ExxonMobil even richer.
Thank them with your votes.

The regime sure is hoping those issues will disappear now!
There are two, maybe 2.5 over-arching issues animating American politics right now:
• the affordability crisis
• Trump's deep unpopularity
• the Epstein files (that's the 0.5)
What happened in Venezuela addresses none of these.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

No discussion of democracy. No discussion of elections. Plenty of talk by Trump about running the country and taking the oil. Let’s not forget to thank John Roberts for his role in immunizing this international criminal.
