Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.
This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

From Russia With Love is such a funny movie. The Training School for Evil Henchmen is something that bond parodies wished they could do, but they can't, because they already did it as part of a real bond film

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"

Corporate media always disappoints.
Before he killed 3 people then himself "records indicate he surrendered 53 firearms." This was buried near the bottom of this story. Kinda feel like it needs to go a bit higher.
Four dead in Mercer Island, Issaquah shootings identified, shooter determined
All four were identified by the King County Medical Examiner’s Office on Friday.

I'm still waiting for an official release of the number of civilians killed overnight in Venezuela by US forces.
I'm still waiting for Congress to demand that number.
I'm still waiting for the Epstein files to be fully released.
We're all still waiting. Let them know.

Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.*
People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off.
Special relationship - alive and kicking.

Well said.
Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it
