Trump has launched an unjustified regime-change war w/out seeking the required congressional approval for the use of force. This is illegal, & another demonstration of this administration’s disregard for the Constitution & the separation of powers in our democratic system.

it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy

Later this year, we’re going to take the House, the Senate, governorships, and state legislatures all over the country.
And we’re going to build the largest midterm margins against the incumbent party that this country has ever seen.

In sum, despite all the obvious lying, if this piece is meant to dispel concerns about Trump's health, it actually does the opposite. This is not a guy who is taking care of himself at 79 years old. (6/6)

DOGE cut 7000 jobs at the Social Security Admin and closed 50 field offices, and now they’re struggling to respond to up to 6 million pending cases in its processing centers and 12 million transactions in its field offices.
Now they’ll say it’s broken and must be privatized.
