Alien Enemies Act, Insurrection Act...Martial Law.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

If Republicans don't extend ACA subsidies, people are going to die. Now, they’re trying to tie Americans' health care to abortion restrictions that kill women.
It’s absolutely a non-starter. We won’t allow Republicans to use the lives of women as the political cost of extension.
