Seems like Trump and his groupies think starting a regime change war of conquest out of nowhere is a political masterstroke that will get them back on the front foot, but I don’t think that’s how it will play out.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

More deadly US boat strikes. Like the others, unambiguously illegal, immoral, and bad strategy.
The US government says these strikes were in the Pacific. Venezuela, as you can clearly see on the map, doesn't touch the Pacific Ocean. So whatever this is, it's not about Maduro and Venezuela.

It's really upsetting that President Biden did so much to make the country better after the pandemic and the buffoon in there now is dismantling it piece by piece. Over a million jobs lost. Unemployment the highest it's been in 4 yeas.

RACHEL SCOTT: “22 million+ are about to have premiums go up. Are you going to let that happen?”
Trump tries to shift blame, still has no plan to stop the carnage.
He says “I want the💰to go to the people” — cutting out insurance companies.
So… #MedicareForAll then? 🤷🏼

In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.

BREAKING: Indiana Republicans FAILED to pass a new 9-0 congressional gerrymander after enough GOP senators sided with Dems. The GOP's 7-2 map stays in place.
Trump is trying to re-gerrymander maps nationwide. At least 11 Indiana Rs got death threats after he called for primaries—but it still failed

Stephen Miller is to blame for the evil ICE is doing. Trump is to blame for listening to Miller. The Republican party is to blame for supporting Trump. MAGA voters are to blame for re-electing Trump. There's enough blame for all of them to share.
