"I was embarrassed," Tim Miller said of Trump's speech. "It's really unbelievably stupid that we're here, that this person is the president, and that that was real—that was not a spoof."

This is extortion.

This is the president of the United States admitting he is extorting another country.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

If the House passes a 3 year extension of the ACA tax credits - which they now have the votes to do - then @LeaderJohnThune has to call it up for a vote in the Senate.

GOP leaders have tried as hard as they can to hurt families, but the dam is breaking. Let's get this done.

He's lying. How do we know?

Because they released the Sept 2nd video already!! Just not the part where they illegally killed the survivors. There's nothing "top secret" about the second strike if there wasn't anything top secret about the first one.
Hegseth on the second Sept 2 strike: "Of course we're not going to release a top secret full unedited of that to the general public"

MAGA wants to remove studies of colonialism from universities because it might complicate the Trump line that Venezuela is a colonial power that subjugated the United States, stealing our Oil, Land, and Other Assets.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Ryan's points are good. But also...he wants the "return to the United States of the Oil, Land and other Assets that they previously stole from us." So, he is going to fight an illegal war to "reclaim" (seize) the assets of Exxon, Conoco Philips, GM, AES, etc.? (So, in the end, it is an oil grab.)
It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression.

Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.'

None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack.
