"Their idea of improving this state is being a parrot for Trump. I'm not going anywhere. You can make your requests for me to resign. Over my dead body. I will fight this thing to the very end to make this state better. And the Q I think they need to decide is when will the guy in the WH resign?"
Walz: "Republicans want to tear this state down. Republicans want to tell you it's too dangerous to talk down the streets. Republicans want to tell you there's nothing good that comes out of Minneapolis/St Paul. Republicans want to tell you everybody with brown skin is stealing money ... "

I truly, truly, truly don't believe Donald Trump cares about the lost lives of American troops. Or police officers. Or firefighters. Or anyone.

It's only about him.

Only.

The United States Congress has the Constitutional power and the patriotic duty to stop this insanity immediately, for the good of all Conservative and Liberal Americans’ future.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:

-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

Thanks for sharing this reminder we now must all remind our representatives as soon and quickly as possible. Overwhelm their phones and leave messages!
The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

So we now appear to be up to at least 80 Venezuelans killed.

For an operation that anonymous admin officials said yesterday was"virtually flawless."

The list of this administration's non-compliance/law-breaking of court orders and any rule of law should be posted and reposted every day, so we can't forget. A chart that shows the growth in criminal actions should appear in the corner of every newscast, substack, YouTube, etc. Every day.

Denmark’s PM, Mette Frederiksen responds to Trump:

“The US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom…I would therefore strongly urge the US to stop the threats against a historically close ally…and another people who have said very clearly that they are not for sale.”

Jesus Christ. Every Sunday host should be asking every Republican if they think Tim Walz murdered Melissa Hortman. And when they say no, ask what it says about this president that he’s amplifying this garbage.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.

We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

Clearly
Rep. Darrell Issa: "We really have the opportunity to give the Venezuelan people an opportunity to have that free and fair election without some strongman taking control. And that's what the president is clearly looking to do."
