GOP Senator: I think the boat attacks are a prelude to an invasion of Venezuela. I don't like the idea of an offensive war. I don't like the idea of regime change. So I hope that's not what's coming, but it certainly looks like it's a possibility.

Host: Trump quietly set free a private equity executive convicted in a billion-dollar fraud scheme. He served just a few days of his 7-year sentence before Trump commuted it. Trump has been focusing on white collar crimes, and that sends a message that this is not a crime that's taken seriously

Reporter: There were already bipartisan questions about the legal justification for using deadly force against these drug boats. Now you have the second issue, that US forces carried out a second strike to kill the survivors. The law of war is you do not kill the survivors of a strike

Commentary: The U.S. plan to end Russia’s invasion rewards Russian aggression, weakens Ukraine’s defenses, offers vague security guarantees, imposes financial burdens on Europe and serves U.S. interests over Ukrainian sovereignty.
Trump's Ukraine plan is shameless and should be rejected
Russia loses nothing, the U.S. profits and Europe is stuck with the bill for rebuilding all that Russia destroyed — a total the World Bank estimates at more than $500 billion.

Rep. Khanna: The Speaker looked frazzled. I think he has just totally lost it. He's attacking the bill, and he's not showing up to hear survivors. Then he's voting for a bill he criticized. He tells Thune, 'go amend it' and Thune ignores him. He's lost the confidence of half the people in his caucus

It is extraordinary how much money they’re tossing on the MAGAPOTUS bonfire to address problems they created (or to address problems that don’t exist except in their imaginations; or to just give each other as much taxpayer money as possible as quickly as possible before someone puts a stop to it).
