Trump illegally started a war so his billionaire cronies could access Venezuela’s oil.
Now he's sending even more of our taxpayer dollars + men and women in uniform to “run the country”?!?
I ran for Congress to make sure we learned the lessons of Iraq. Trump is repeating them.

Trump: "We're there now, but we're going to stay until such time as the pop -- proper transition can take place. So we're gonna stay until such time as -- we're gonna run it essentially."

SCOOP-2: Isabela Herrera donated $2.5m to MAGA Inc. on 12/31/2024.
At the time, her father, a Venezuelan-Italian banker, was being prosecuted for bribing Puerto Rico's governor.
In July, Trump's DOJ authorized a misdemeanor plea deal, overruling career prosecutors who had pushed a harsher sentence

Release the Epstein files
The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
