Venezuela is a sovereign country, not a non-state actor. It is not developing any offensive capabilities that would threaten US safety. There has been no argument to Congress—the only entity that can declare war—that the United States must undertake military operations. This is beyond illegal.
Every representative, regardless of party. There’s a tendency to assume that Republicans are unbothered by public opinion. But if your federal representatives don’t object to this, they object to their own existence. There’s a non-partisan reason to reject this, and we should argue it.
Any D who doesn't push for impeachment should get primaried. This is it. No excuses. No more.

I'm deeply sorry to the people of Venezuela. There is no opposition party in the United States to counter the fascist regime's actions and the population is easily demagogued.

I hope every Labour MP considering whether to support Shabana Mahmood's asylum plans remembers Nigel Farage's assessment that the “Home Secretary sounds like a Reform supporter.”
If they support them they will too.

The marketing of X shamelessly promotes Grok, an AI tool designed not for objectivity but as a propaganda machine for a fascist oligarch. This clearly illustrates how technology can be weaponized to manipulate and control.

Trump is getting a $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8 as a ‘gift’ from Qatar’s royal family, ABC reports.
The plane is described as a “flying palace” and will be used as Airforce One and then transferred to Trump. It’s the biggest foreign ‘gift’ ever and apparently doesn’t break bribery laws.

I never want to hear Americans talk about corruption in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia or Africa ever again.
Disgusting, naked, open blatant corruption. Whether it is crypto, Trump Media stock, real estate developments, licensing deals or jets, foreign governments continue to buy our presidency by bribing our criminal president.

This #Eurovision feels like a special one for me. When my mother was born, her home country of Switzerland won for the first time. When I was born Switzerland won for the second time. This year we’ll be watching together as Switzerland hosts its third contest, even though we won’t be in the country.

🇺🇦🗣️ Zelensky: Putin created a fake calm only for the May 9 parade. Why fake? Because the attacks on the front continue. Russian assaults do not stop. They are still using aerial bombs. But there were no air raids. And this proves once again: when Moscow does not want to kill, it can stop.
