At this point, if you have oil or mineral resources, and you do not have a nuclear weapon, you are at risk of being annexed by the United States under Trump. The old rules based security architecture of the world is gone. Welcome to the new imperialism.

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"

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

In the Maduro capture operation, the Trump administration relies on Bill Barr’s (discredited) 1989 memo claiming a President can disregard the UN Charter (CNN report).
That is a loaded gun. The legal analysis is utterly flawed.

More than 100 immigration judges have been fired nationwide since Trump took office. 21 in San Francisco alone, many without explanation.
Why? Because these judges provided due process under US law.
The Trump admin doesn’t want hearings or fairness.

So, no childcare for any state. This is from the Project 2025 handbook which encouraged policies that push women out of the workforce, e.g., by cutting childcare programs, promoting traditional family structures, such as, heterosexual marriage, & single‑income households.

Project 2025 Would Worsen Our Country’s Child Care Crisis
Project 2025’s misinformation on early childhood education reflects a lack of real interest and borderline disdain for an issue so central to the lives of working families across the country.
