I would encourage the Sec of State to listen to what his President said yesterday the Secretary stood literally right fucking next to him

Can we stop inviting liars to lie, please ?
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.

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources.

Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.
Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

The Chicago protest against the U.S. attack on Venezuela has stepped off to march through the downtown area. Hundreds have joined the march.

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

When do I get to wake up to the news that another nation has whisked away our dictator?

So the “party of small government” is now going to rebuild and operate the oil exploration industry of another country?

The Secretary of State doesn't even know his own plot line. How did we get from here to here in the span of a few hours?

Trump is so desperate to be Hitler, is it at all surprising he's invading other countries with the intent to control or expand his territory?

Went out with my telephoto lens in hopes of photographing some local wildlife. It’s cold. Very cold. My back hurts. So after God only knows how long, hasty street candids it is.

Does this mean Canada can kidnap Trump and try him there, since he can't be tried in the US? Is that what we do now, kidnap each other's Presidents, try them, rough them up for pardon bribes

Remember when Maria Corina Machado won a Nobel Peace Prize and used her speech to suck up to Donald Trump for his “decisive support,” and he used it to say he should have won? Now, months later, he’s saying she doesn’t have the respect of Venezuela to lead. Classic and expected.

It's a new year, so we have yet another opportunity to raise the federal #MinimumWage. It's been $7.25 since 2009. Meanwhile, Congress members earn $108.75/hour assuming 40 weeks of work per year, which is stretching it (legislative sessions = 26 weeks/year).

"...every $1 increase in the minimum wage of US states could reduce the #suicide rate in people with high school education or less by 6%." Republicans would rather have more suicides than pay higher wages. #Avarice #Pathology #MentalHealth

Yes, it’s long but worth watching. Give it 15 minutes at least to hear Jack Smith’s opening remarks.

Question:

How many laws has current Republican led Congress passed to reform U.S. Immigration policies?

Answer:

Current Republican-led Congress hasn’t passed any major, comprehensive immigration reform bills into law all year.

Flagrant cruelty is Republican’s goal…
