Can’t do anything in power. Can’t do anything out of power. Weirdly they’re the only party that never has any power or voice, regardless of the situation
I love you all and am holding your hand as I say this:
Dems wield zero hard power levers

it's kind of crazy that there's even any question that democrats are going to do anything about this

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.

I just found out we kidnapped a foreign head of state by seeing a post about how someone made a lot of money from insider trading on the gambling platform that allows you to bet on whether we are going to kidnap a head of state. 2026 is shaping up to be another rough one.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Actually, that exactly how JURISDICTION works unless you have an extradition treaty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”
