See, it’s not hard to denounce this and toe it into the larger pattern of criminality.
Chris Murphy: "Clearly this is wildly illegal. This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn in -- stealing from the American people, seizing spending power, now dragging America into a war overseas ... Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt."

When the LAPD arrests a dude at a gas station they don’t take over the gas station and use it to gas up all the cop cars tho
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

NYT is reporting at least 80 Venezuelan’s dead after this American attack. No breakdown on how many were civilians.
That’s in addition to the 115 people the US military has recently killed in boats.

Political scientist Julia Azari argues that Trump, like Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon before him, became president in part because of white backlash against the pro-Black accomplishments of his predecessor.

I haven't been doing explainers on Trump's rhetoric lately because, honestly, it's boring. I've said all these things for the last 10 years. A lot of this thread was written in 2019. But jumping in now to say this: this is new. This is different in important ways. This marks the end of the republic.

Typically when the US embarks on an illegal or dubiously legal regime change we use noble words about democracy, rule of law, spreading freedom, etc. to justify our actions. Trump has not done that. He offers few noble words as eulogistic covering. It's a crass power & oil grab, according to Trump.
