Great thread by @tessbridgeman.bsky.social on DOJ OLC memo purporting to justify legality of Maduro’s arrest.
1/DOJ OLC's memo on the #Venezuela attack makes clear that that in the Executive's view, there's nothing left of Congress' Art. I power to decide whether the nation goes to war.
Congress needs to push back hard on this.
More to come, but a few initial observations:

Amazing, a Ford worker called Trump a “pedophile protector” during his visit to an assembly plant in Michigan today.
In return, Trump, who has failed to release the Epstein files, yelled, “fuck you” and flipped off the worker.

Ford has caved to MAGA pressure and suspended TJ Sabula, the auto worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” to his face today.
“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often — and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” Sabula said.

This is Renee Good.
She was a mother of a six-year-old child.
She was an American citizen.
She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”
And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.
