The impact was swift: DHS and the FBI ramped up their presence in the state, and federal funding for child care in the entire state was frozen.

But a week later, state officials said the child care centers accused of fraud were all operating as expected. https://cnn.it/4jqkIGt

This is superb, from Sen. Kelly.
Please watch.

Insider note: First sentence of Kelly's presentation is uncannily powerful echo of my favorite TV ad ever. "Imported from Detroit," 15 yrs ago

Serendipity? Embedded memory by Kelly people? Perfect for both.

If the attack on Venezuela and the abduction of its president were part of a "law enforcement operation," not a war, how come the U.S. still has a huge armada offshore? When cops nab a suspect, do they often set up a camp with hundreds of officers near the scene of the arrest?

A reminder that, in the midst of everything else, the Trump administration is an incredible combination of entitlement and sloppiness.

DOJ: "We were too busy invading Venezuela to address your court order, Chief Judge Boasberg."

Boasberg: "You didn't even follow the rules in filing this request."

MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places

CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

He is a formidable, accomplished, genuinely decent, genuinely intelligent and visionary man

Election Countdown, 99 Days to Go: Who Is Tim Walz?
A governor, a six-term Congressman, a National Guard artillery specialist, a school teacher for 20 years—and a geographer. A speech that will introduce you to him, and that contains surprises.

Venezuelan-Americans are being fed a bunch of BS by Republican politicians right now. I'm going to say something I've never said before - if you want the truth about this, then listen to Trump. He's the only Republican being brutally honest about it. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Rick Scott: "I'm glad the president didn't just take Maduro and walk away. I'm glad that he's committed to freedom and democracy in Venezuela. Now, I can't tell you how they're going to get there ... "
