The U.S. attack on Venezuela isn’t just reckless—it’s illegal.
No UN authorization. No armed attack. No congressional approval.
“If law constrains anyone, it must constrain the powerful. If rules bind, they must bind the states with the greatest capacity to break them.”

The nightmare we find ourself in is because Trump was not swiftly accountable for his attempted coup and his Jan 6 terrorist attack. The lesson for us is that Trump and his regime must be prosecuted for their crimes--even if at The Hague. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/the-straig...

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

WOW. Check out Variety's review of Tony Dokoupil’s debut as the anchor of the “CBS Evening News. CBS News is now pro-Trump propoganda. And Dokoupil was not hired for his talent but for his political views that line up with oligarch owners the Ellisons and Bari Weiss.

Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp, to the President.
The fact that Maduro is a dictator who committed grave abuses does not suspend the Constitution.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

President Trump’s immigration policies aren’t about safety – they’re about intimidation. Deploying masked agents to terrorize immigrant communities isn’t just dangerous – it’s an affront to our democratic values. I will always stand up for Illinoisans against these abuses of power.
