Actually, it's totally American. We've done this for decades. This is nothing new. I've witnessed it myself about 10 times now. That's because I'm 66.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Congressional Democrats aren't going to do anything substantive. They'll write "scathing" tweets, send emails asking you to rush them $3 to combat Donald Trump's "illegal" action, then insist they can do nothing else until January 2027.
It feels like Democrats have three options: impeachment, shutting down the government on Jan. 30 to extract concessions, or strongly worded letters and long speeches. Am I missing any?

There is no grace to be given to anyone who continues to support this man - sexual assault, inhumane and lawless deportations, bombing fishing boats without justification, and now invading another country. Those who support him - members of congress, scotus, maga voters, donors - are complicit.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Not all white Americans feel this way but they are in the minority. Just my opinion but I think the average white American would trade in their democracy in exchange for a dictatorship if it means no more non-whites will be in power positions.

Remember, Trump doesn’t hire quality people who are intelligent or have expertise in their fields. He is a shitty person who attracts other shitty people. They are all either dumb, criminally inclined, or both.

The truth about Trump's economy:
-Inflation is still high, and beef and coffee prices are surging thanks to his tariffs
-Wage growth has slowed since he took office
-Unemployment is at a 4-year high
He's running the economy like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground.

It has been 13 years since my neighbor killed 26 in Sandy Hook. 13 years of more children & young people being shot at schools. 13 years of watching this country refuse to learn. How much longer until Americans choose children’s #FreedomToLive over guns?
As we remember the Sandy Hook shooting today, as I reflect on how we have failed our children by failing to do more since then, as I sit here thinking about my daughter Jaime & all victims of gun violence, my only question is when will this country have had enough?

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.
