Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Two legal issues at work in Venezuela asTrump Admin uses criminal charges to obscure regime change. Maduro’s indictment and arrest may be upheld, but that does not negate violation of UN Charter, approved by Congress in 1945, and constitutional duty to take care that laws be faithfully executed.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Bernie Sanders is calling for a temporary pause on AI data center construction nationwide.
He says a pause would "give democracy a chance to catch up" with the rapid build-out.
He's concerned about potential AI-driven job losses and the tech's effect on human relationships.

We are spending $1 trillion every year on the military. That's more than the next NINE nations combined.
Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country.
Congress needs to get its priorities straight.

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.

Trump’s immigration agenda is rooted in racism. Ending Temporary Protected Status for predominantly Black and Brown nations tells you exactly who this administration is targeting. Racism is not immigration policy, and we deserve better.
