Donald Trump’s reckless and unconstitutional operations in Venezuela—including this morning’s arrest of a foreign leader—are not about enforcing law and order because if they were, he wouldn’t hide them from Congress.
Maduro was unquestionably a bad actor, but no President has the authority to unilaterally decide to use force to topple a government, thrusting us and the region into uncertainty without justification, a defined end-state or a real plan for preventing the instability that could come next.
His actions continue putting American troops, personnel and citizens at risk both in the region and around the globe.
None of that serves our nation’s interests.
I'm confused how this isn't the biggest story in the world right now. Trump has launched a regime change war in Venezuela. He and @marcorubio are lying and pretending its about fentanyl, but it's really about oil. We've seen this movie before and it ends badly.
I truly do not care if food stamps cover junk food.
It doesn't affect me.
But do you know who it does affect?
The kid who wouldn't get a birthday cake otherwise.
The one who only knows what it's like to say
"no" in the snack aisle.
The one who just wants to feel like every other child for one day.
Let them have the cake.
Let them have the chips at the birthday party.
Let them feel normal because poverty is already isolating enough.
If you've never had to choose between groceries and gas, sit this one out.

I feel like I’m going insane. There is an enormous difference between 1) deporting someone and 2) shipping them to a foreign prison, where they’ll be held indefinitely without due process. If you cannot understand that distinction, then the internet has broken your brain.

One thing I love about American politics is the amount of people who have never left their hometown will tell you exactly, confidently, what the world is like.
Just when you think nothing is going to be ok Jeff Bezos steps in a hole and faceplants next to his spaceship and JD Vance breaks the national championship trophy
I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected.
That's not something you get over.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett asks the Mayors whether there are any immigrants roaming around their cities with 34 felony convictions (all answered no), "because that could be a danger to the community." She is a national treasure.
