Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

Trump regrets not deploying the Guard to seize voting machines in 2020

Trump tested deploying the NG last year under §12406

SCOTUS said no to 12406. He’ll have to invoke the insurrection act to deploy the Guard

We need Democrats in Congress to grasp this moment. Trump’s thugs are shooting, abusing and killing people in our streets with impunity — and we need leaders to stop this lawlessness now. Wake up: This five-alarm fire will get worse without loud and focused opposition.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Every damn Democratic congressperson should be physically standing together on the steps of the Capitol and demanding an end to this deadly abuse. Are they really unable to fight back against this despicable propaganda used to justify the killing by ICE and supported by Noem and Trump?

Trump is a girl in a junior high bathroom. Meanwhile, Schumer is writing a strongly worded letter.
The level of pettiness here is almost unbelievable. According to sources close to The White House who spoke to WaPo, Donald Trump reportedly soured on supporting Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado after she accepted a Nobel Peace Prize instead of insisting it be awarded to him.

Trump told the oil companies about the Venezuela plan, but neglected to tell Congress. This invasion isn’t about protecting Americans, it’s military assistance for big oil and his billionaire friends.

So Trump successfully bullied a good man and his family. Because winning over Harris Walz wasn’t enough. Trump wanted to destroy him.

Walz is making the right decision for his family. But the success of Trump’s grotesque bullying campaign is yet another frightening step in our national descent.

So the hideous man child who stays in 2/3rds of the white house on occasion.

Killed 80+ people including our own people.

Kidnapped the Venezuelan leader for dancing better.

Then refused to install and back Machado bc she didn't hand over the Nobel Peace prize.

Fuck all of this.

FOR G-D’S SAKE, SENATOR SCHUMER

WHY ARE YOU WAITING FOR THE REPUBLICANS

WHO CARES WHAT THEY WANT TO DO

THEY’VE PROVED OVER AND OVER THAT THEY’RE TOTALLY IN TRUMP’S POCKET

THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO TAKE ACTION

Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

Stephen Miller dreamt of bombing Mexico and Latin America during the first Administration. Replacing Maduro was in Project 2025.

The white nationalists and broligarchy (Musk, Thiel) and white Christian nationalists (Vought) are trying to get everything before Trump dies.

No discussion of democracy. No discussion of elections. Plenty of talk by Trump about running the country and taking the oil. Let’s not forget to thank John Roberts for his role in immunizing this international criminal.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

Every American should be ashamed of who we are and what we have become as a nation today. We have a long history of military misadventures and even crimes but the attacks we have been conducting on Venezuela are among the most wanton, egregious and least defensible acts we’ve ever conducted.
