"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." — FDR, 1937

One indicator of a polity’s health is whether a citizen can be punished merely for telling the truth about the law. The signs for American democracy are not good.

The Justice Department has backed off a dubious claim about President Nicolás Maduro that the Trump administration promoted last year in laying the groundwork to remove him from power in Venezuela: accusing him of leading a drug cartel called Cartel de los Soles.

Russia signaled that it was willing to allow the United States to act as it pleased in Venezuela, in exchange for Washington giving the Kremlin a free hand in Ukraine, according to Congressional testimony from Fiona Hill ...
Russian officials and commentators have expressed satisfaction that the United States seemed to be ditching international law for a policy of “might makes right,” an attitude hearkening back to an imperial era that both President Trump and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia have looked on fondly.

Dear Bill Cassidy,

You see the harm that RFK, Jr. is doing and you continue to do nothing but describe your outrage. At what point do you become complicit?

You voted to confirm him. Maybe it’s time you hold yourself accountable and remove him.

Pretending that this little man knows what to say beyond whatever Trump told him to say yesterday is a fool’s errand.
Speaker Johnson: "This is not a regime change. This is a demand for a change of behavior by a regime...We don't expect direct involvement in any other way beyond just coercing the new interim government to get that going."
