I joined @BBCBreaking anchor @SumiSomaskanda to discuss the U.S. operation that removed Nicolás Maduro from power in Venezuela.
Maduro was an illegitimate and brutal ruler in a country where 82% of the population lives in poverty. But this was not an act of self-defense - and that distinction matters. Only Congress has a constitutional responsibility to authorize the use of force, not outsource that decision to the executive branch after the fact.
America at her best is a reluctant warrior & I’ve seen firsthand as a captain in the 82nd Airborne in Iraq how regime change without a political plan can create instability that lasts decades. Venezuela employs 300K people tied to the state.
What happens to them - and who governs next - will determine whether this ends cleanly or becomes something far more costly.

Kennedy Democrats didn’t wait for change in 2025, we organized, mobilized, and made it happen. From fundraising that powered campaigns to wins at the ballot box, this year was about showing up for our communities and candidates.
Thank you to everyone who made it possible!
Kennedy Democrats are proud to welcome Phil Jaurigue to our Advisory Board! Phil is the Founder & CEO of Mandulac Strategies, LLC, supporting small and midsized businesses in government contracting. We’re excited to add his expertise as we continue building a stronger org!
Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4.

@MacyGunnell Former Congressman @PatrickMurphyPA says threats and attacks on lawmakers and their families have more than tripled since his time in office. A stark reminder that division and violence weaken us all—while respectful disagreement makes our democracy stronger.
Scoop: A new private poll in one of the nation’s top bellwethers — Bucks County, Pa. — shows Trump’s popularity falling and Dems taking a lead in local elections.
Trump - 11 (down from -5 last year)
Shapiro +28 (& nearly a quarter of Rs see him favorably) https://t.co/A8KiVGANIw
62 years ago, Americans gathered at the Lincoln Memorial united in the fight for civil rights and equal dignity for Black Americans.
Every time we choose empathy over division and courage over fear, we take another step toward a more perfect union.
At Kennedy Democrats, we’re not sitting on the sidelines while Republicans & Trump threaten progress. We’re organizing & fighting back. That’s why we’ve backed @GovernorShapiro , @RepMcClinton & @RepMunroe —and now support vets @DannyCeisler & Siddiq Kamara for Sheriff.
The VA’s reckless decision to shred employees’ union contracts is an unprecedented assault on fairness in federal labor relations. No Executive Order can erase the hard-won, legally binding agreements that protect workers and the Veterans they serve.

New from Dr. Robert Sokolowski in EdWeek: a bold take on leading with empathy, courage & an open mind.
As JFK said, “Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education.”

Kennedy Democrats isn’t just watching the numbers in Harrisburg — we’re changing them. The PA House hangs by a thread. The Senate’s still red. We’re backing a new generation of bold, community-rooted Pennsylvanians to flip seats and fight for working families.
Combat Veteran Pat Ryan lives his values and fights for us - which is why @takingthehillpac is so proud we’ve endorsed & supported him since Day 1. This West Point grad gets it 🇺🇸! @PatRyanUC
From everyone at Kennedy Democrats, happy Fourth of July! Today we celebrate freedom, democracy, and the generations that fought to preserve and expand them 🇺🇸.
Immigrants are the backbone of Bucks County. We need smart public safety—not wasting tax dollars doing ICE’s job with 5K warrants outstanding. That’s why we support @DannyCeisler for Sheriff: integrity, safety, and dignity for all. 💙💪 #BucksCounty#SmartJustice#DannyCeisler
