I know it’s exhausting. I know you’re sick to death of Trump. I am, too. But as he revealed yesterday, there is no limit to what Trump will do to assert his power. Your activism, courage, and attention are needed now more than ever. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-the-looting

While he was out of office, President Trump mused about what would have happened if the United States had taken control of Venezuela.
“We would have gotten all that oil,” he said in a speech at the North Carolina Republican Convention in 2023. “It would have been right next door.”

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

an “inherent power” to respond to an “imminent” attack is just a license for aggressive war on the president’s whim
How does launching air strikes and a commando raid fall under the remit of self defense for an arrest operation
