The regime’s approach to Venezuela continues to be the purest expression of Trump’s authoritarian ambitions.
Venezuela has become the Trump regime’s comfort atrocity. And it’s only a matter of time before it gets even worse. Possibly far worse. Possibly very fast.

We must force to Congress debate and vote on it.

While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months.

All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.
