You can listen live to the hearing held only by Democrats to commemorate the 5th anniversary of January 6th. It speaks volumes about the state of our democracy that no Republican Members of Congress are participating here, in what should be a bipartisan event.

I have noticed something odd coming from the Right recently — a change in vocabulary. They are using the word “hemisphere” rather than America. They went from “Make America Great Again” to speaking about the Americas and the Western Hemisphere.

This is how it's done. If incumbent Democrats won't do the job, their primary challengers can and will use this to make sure someone else does
The Republican Congress has chosen to give away its authority and power and now we are being told Trump plans to occupy Venezuela. We don't cry for Maduro. We demand the following of our laws and Constitution. He is already threatening Mexico and Cuba will be next. Ann Wagner is silent.

And no, I do not care WHO a politician is.
If they cannot meet this moment, they have to go. Period. This is nonnegotiable, for every single politician [and it was them, not the voters, that put us here].
If not? Y'all don't HAVE a 2027 ahead of you. Not one you recognize.

There are chilling words and a telling comparison as we head towards elections in 2026 and 2028.
FOX: Will you throw your support behind María Corina Machado?
TRUMP: Well, we're gonna have to look at it. Right now, they have a VP as you know. But the election of Maduro was a disgrace just like my election was a disgrace. 2020 was a disgrace -- a real disgrace -- now 2024 was too big to rig.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
