🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Democracy Docket has obtained a draft of the executive order being circulated with the White House that would allow Trump to take unprecedented control over voting.
Legal experts called the order blatantly unconstitutional. Read the full, 17-page order below👇 https://t.co/k3vPuzMiLB
If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?
Just checking what the standards are these days.
🚨Wow. Marco Rubio says Maduro will face justice in U.S. courts.
So in other words, foreign presidents can be held accountable for crimes in our country. But our own presidents cannot.
Nicolás Maduro was a thug and an illegitimate leader of Venezuela, terrorizing and oppressing its people for far too long and forcing many to leave the country. But starting a war to remove Maduro doesn’t just continue Donald Trump’s trampling of the Constitution, it further erodes America’s standing on the world stage and risks our adversaries mirroring this brazen illegal escalation.
For months, as the Trump administration massed American servicemembers and firepower in the Caribbean, and used military force to destroy vessels and kill those on board, I and others in the Senate forced bipartisan votes to stop the illegal misuse of our armed forces. We warned that the true motive was not drugs, but regime change in an oil-rich nation. Despite all of the administration’s false denials, those motivations are now clear.
Acting without Congressional approval or the buy-in of the public, Trump risks plunging a hemisphere into chaos and has broken his promise to end wars instead of starting them. And in conjunction with his continued saber-rattling around the world and dropping approval ratings at home, the American people should be concerned that this is not the last time he will break that promise.
The President has vowed that this is not the end of our engagement in Venezuela, saying that ‘we'll be involved in it very much.’ Congress must bring up a new War Powers Resolution and reassert its power to authorize force or to refuse to do so. We must speak for the American people who profoundly reject being dragged into new wars.
So Trump just launched a military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who has been indicted on drug trafficking charges … five weeks after he pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who had been convicted of drug trafficking charges
Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress. Trump rejected our Constitutionally required approval process for armed conflict because the Administration knows the American people overwhelmingly reject risks pulling our nation into another war.
This strike doesn't represent strength. It's not sound foreign policy. It puts Americans at risk in Venezuela and the region, and it sends a horrible and disturbing signal to other powerful leaders across the globe that targeting a head of state is an acceptable policy for the U.S. government. This will further damage our reputation – already hurt by Trump’s policies around the world – and only isolate us in a time when we need our friends and allies more than ever.
Without authorization from Congress, and with the vast majority of Americans opposed to military action, Trump just launched an unjustified, illegal strike on Venezuela.
He says we don’t have enough money for healthcare for Americans—but somehow we have unlimited funds for war??
The White House has confirmed that the $1,776 military “bonuses” came directly from reconciliation funds intended for subsidized housing for service members.
They literally just gave military members their own money.
The scam artist strikes again.
So Trump’s DOJ just completely removed him and any photos of him with Epstein from the files. We are witnessing one of the most brazen and disgusting cover ups in American history.
BREAKING: Jack Smith is pushing to speak publicly.
In a new letter, Smith says the American public deserves to “hear the facts” about his two criminal cases against Trump. He’s asking the House Judiciary Committee to release video of his closed-door deposition and to schedule an open, public hearing.
This is not subtle. He wants it on the record.
🚨 BREAKING:
A month ago, NYT columnist David Brooks scolded the media for focusing on Epstein.
Today, House Democrats released new Epstein photos — and Brooks is in them, attending an event with Epstein.
That’s not “fixation.” That’s relevance.
“Jack Smith tells Congress he could prove Trump engaged in a ‘CRIMINAL SCHEME’ To overturn the 2020 election.”
In case you’re wondering why Republicans insisted on keeping his testimony behind closed doors.🤔🚪
