Before the U.S. toppled Maduro in Venezuela, Donald Trump tipped off Big Oil companies, but not Congress. Today, he’s meeting with Big Oil again.
Congress hasn’t authorized any U.S. action – but Big Oil has a seat at the table. This is what an oligarchy looks like.
@RonWyden Are you hearing "We The People" yet???
We want our country back and you want to give it away. Not happening Jack!
Keep ignoring us. This is the find out stage of FOFO. There will be no backing down.
I want MY family safe. You & people like you are standing in the way.
I’ve said since Donald Trump first deployed troops & agents to Portland that they’d risk lives, and here we are.
Memo to Trump: stop flooding our cities with dangerous and armed operatives that your political bobbleheads have hand-selected to roam our streets.
@LeeroyPress@KathyHochul Well...the information *should* be on a database, or just a few, and available relatively *instantly*.
It's not like anyone these days has to send men on horses to distant cities to ask the local scribes to read the local cuneiform tablets.
NYS governor @KathyHochul claims the Trump administration is threatening to cut funding for child care if the state doesn't provide information on those receiving government subsidies .
The governor states it's almost impossible to provide the info in a timely manner.
The governor claims the Trump administration has launched a war on states that have democrat governors .
What do you think this is about? 🤔
@LeeroyPress@KathyHochul Yes, they literally ONLY dox republicans, and law enforcement and have THEIR information immediately at hand. How interesting 🤔
A new report found that the Washington Department of Licensing (DOL) shared drivers' personal data with federal immigration enforcement agencies (ICE), resulting in at least nine confirmed immigration arrests last year.

TRUMP: "If we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor. Okay?"
"I would like to make a deal the easy way. But if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way."
"I'm a fan of Denmark...but, you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land."
"NATO's got to understand that. I'm all for NATO. I saved NATO. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have a NATO right now."
@NBCNews No lies detected. Since when has it ever been considered lawful to impede law enforcement?
Go out and stop a cop from doing his job yourself, right now, and see how it turns out.
What is wrong with you people?
If the US annexes Greenland we must confiscate all US bases in Europe, says Austria's NATO enlargement committee chairman Fehlinger.
"If you take Greenland, you have to leave".
Democrats are focused on lowering costs for Americans, while Donald Trump and Republicans are spending all of their time on foreign wars, on ballrooms, and on private jets.
How is this America first?
It never made sense to me why drug cartels were allowed to operate, because it would be so easy for the US MIL to take them out.
Now the question becomes, why didn’t past Presidents do this?
The answer is simple. It’s because past administrations were in bed with the cartels…
The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation. He said that the U.S. will “run the country” until a proper transition can take place and went right into how US oil companies will benefit from this takeover. He doesn’t understand the risks and costs involved with these poorly thought-out decisions that don’t make Americans any safer today than they were yesterday.
Nicolas Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator who deserves to face justice. I want the people of Venezuela to be free to choose their own future, but if we learned anything from the Iraq war, it’s that dropping bombs or toppling a leader doesn’t guarantee democracy, stability or make Americans safer. More often, it leads to chaos or drags the US into a war and lengthy occupation. I don’t trust that this administration has a plan, timeline, or price tag for what comes next.
Over the past year, Trump’s foreign policy has been reckless, chaotic, self-serving, and unconstitutional. Congress should vote this week to reassert its authority on behalf of the American people before he oversteps again. I also want to recognize the professionalism and skill of the American service members involved in this operation. While I don’t agree with the administration’s justification for this, I’m thankful that no service members were killed or seriously injured.
@Rep_Stansbury Yeah, im going to take a virtue signaling suicidal empathic white liberals woman's word about global world politics 🙄 Hell No!
Repeal the 19th. I will gladly give up my right to vote to get these harbingers of destruction out of our Government. Women should be at home.
The White House is confirming U.S. military operations in Venezuela tonight. Let us be clear: these strikes are illegal. The President does not have the authority to declare war or undertake large-scale military operations without Congress. Congress must act to rein him in. Immediately.
