Jeffries: "The Constitution isn't a matter of inconvenience. It is a requirement. George Washington in his farewell address to the nation made clear that the Constitution is sacredly obligatory upon all. That means everybody. There is no Trump exception."

When oil and tech CEOs are in the loop about his plans to invade a sovereign nation and Congress isn’t, that’s all you need to know about the legitimacy of his actions.

Most informative experts on Venezuelan/US history & oil. Trump’s explanation, unsurprisingly, is “an outright lie.”

“Russia Condemns US Airstrikes on Venezuela, Demands Release of Nicolas Maduro”

Crazy hypocrisy, 2nd only to this defense of Trump taking control of Venezuela, Rubio saying VZ must adhere to US policy demands for Venezuelan oil, & Trump saying he’s fine with US boots on the ground to enforce that

Monroe Doctrine, 1823 Pres James Monroe warned Europe against interference in the Americas, established the Western Hemisphere as distinct for the US, pledged non-interference in European affairs

See what’s happening? Tariffs, Monroe, hanging, no benefits, white men rule, Imperialism, king
Trump: "All the way back it dated to the Monroe Doctrines. And the Monroe Doctrine is a big deal. But we've superseded it by a lot. By a real lot. They now call it the Donroe Document. I don't know. It's Monroe Doctrine. We sort of forgot about it."

Flip both houses of Congress so we can defund ICE please.
New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows.

JUST IN: Trump has said again that the "US needs Greenland."

Danish Prime Minister has responded: "The Kingdom of Denmark — and thus Greenland — is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee."

“The way to address it to the benefit of the Venezuelan people is to get private companies to go in & invest [BILLION$]”

Rubio hasn’t spoken to US oil companies about Venezuela

“We’re pretty certain that there will be dramatic interest from Western companies”

Your plan is “pretty certain?”

Devin Nunes, CEO, +others connected to Trump Media purchased a publicly traded company, Blue Water Acquisition Corp. Months prior, CEO of Blue Water, Joseph Hernandez, attempted an unsuccessful $10 billion bid to acquire US assets of Citgo Petroleum..majority owned by Venezuela.

Thanks, Denise!

Venezuela Defense Minister Gen Vladimir Padrino said the US attack killed soldiers, civilians & much of Maduro's security detail "in cold blood." Venezuela’s armed forces have been activated.

Rubio says Venezuela must adhere to US demands. Why?

This sounds a lot more like a war than an arrest.

More proof that Trump Admin had no plan for Venezuela:

Trump only contacted big US oil cos 10 days ago & said they can’t access Venezuela’s oil unless they pay to rebuild the business. Oil cos say they don’t even who’s running the country or what condition the oil fields are in. Could take years.

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela?

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.

Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

“If this action were constitutionally sound, the AG wouldn’t be tweeting that they’ve arrested the President of a sovereign country & his wife for possessing guns in violation of a 1934 US firearm law. 25-page indictment but no mention of fentanyl or stolen oil,” Rep Thomas Massie (R/KY)

Trump is declaring that he’s going to run the country until he’s decided. It’s safe and proper to change leadership. And now he’s threatening Mexico.
Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."
