This Venezuelan incursion is not lowering my grocery bill,
nor is the administration's focus on "running" that country.
Trump is fraying the fabric of our NATO alliances - they're hanging by a thread.
GOP Congress is gelded. Our Republic will not survive to celebrate its 250 year anniversary.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

This video falsely claims to show US strikes on a port in the Venezuelan capital Caracas tonight.
But the clip dates back to October 2024, and shows Iranian missile strikes on the Nevatim air base in Israel.

This video falsely claims to show US strikes on the Fort Tiuna military site in Venezuela this morning.
In fact, it shows Iranian missile strikes on Israel during the 12-day war in June.

This is damn scary
This is how peaceful organizations become “violent domestic terrorists”:
1. Label them a “fifth column.”
2. Treat beliefs and associations as “indicators.”
3. Let law enforcement map the entire network.
NSPM-7 provides the mechanism.

But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

on this day in 2012, 20 children and 6 adults are killed in mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. And with the awful shooting at Brown University yesterday, we still haven't done anything on meaningful national gun laws. Enough is enough.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
