Analysis | Four questions on what happens next for Trump in Venezuela Does Congress step in? Does the public care?

Much of what President Trump is doing in Venezuela is politically risky and legally controversial.

Here are four major questions that legal and military experts are watching to understand what happens next.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

There were 57 laws enacted, but a lot of them were “official displeasure” documents against Biden-era laws and policies.

I can only think of 4-5 meaningful bills. One of those (OBBB) was only accomplished due to questionable use of “reconciliation.”

I doubt that they recorded 100 days in session between July 1 and the end of the year.

They only passed 3-4 bills of any significance, which makes them easily the least productive Congress in U.S. history.

House Republicans are going on vacation and letting your health care subsidies lapse.

This Supreme Court has demonstrated that nothing in the Constitution (aside from the 2nd Amendment) is safe from nullification.

Through a perversion of religious fervor and fearful submissiveness to Trump/wealthy donors, the Court conservatives do not represent anyone except the elites.

Presidents Can’t End Birthright Citizenship President Trump's executive order is almost certain to be struck down.

The Supreme Court has announced that it’s going to hear arguments on President Trump’s order rescinding birthright citizenship. The text and history ought to make this an open-and-shut case. bit.ly/40oplbc

Will President Trump apologize for saying that the crash was caused, based on zero evidence, by people with disabilities?

Absolutely zero chance.

HHS cuts millions in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics The move is an escalation in the agency’s clash with the medical group, which is suing Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy.

RFK Jr’s massive ego officially declares war on 👶 children. 🤬

Here's Trump saying Rob Reiner is dead because he made people mad with his "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Absolutely insane.
It's a real post by the president of the United States, who has the nuclear codes.

Green Card Interviews End in Handcuffs for Spouses of U.S. Citizens

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

A screenshot from the espn app says Sources: Brian Kelly has been informed in writing that he's been terminated by LSU without cause. This means LSU is set to owe him the nearly $54 million remaining on his contract.

Now THIS is how you news dump.

It Pays To Be The Head Coach: Highest Paid State Employees In The US - OLBG.com

Yes, priorities are screwed up here. Last I read, the highest paid state employee in ND was the dean of the medical school.

43 out of 50 states have a football, basketball, or hockey coach as highest paid public employee. www.olbg.com/blogs/highes...

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Excellent work reporting on this important case. How any modern society can hold onto the death penalty and call itself civilized is a mystery. There is a reason no other developed nation maintains the practice.

The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found after months of delay Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its “Made in the USA” promise.

Nobody should be surprised at this.

It’s got real Frost/Nixon vibes. “When the President does it, it’s not illegal.”

Trump has already assassinated 76 speedboat fishermen, so why wouldn't he order his worst nightmare, Jeffrey Epstein, to be killed in prison?

Policy takes time to craft. Apparently 9 years isn’t long enough.

I love the spin that Democrats are "cherry picking" Epstein e-mails. I'm curious about the larger context in which the President's involvement in an elite pedophilic sex slavery ring seems more appropriate.

18 Trump voters explain why a slice of his base is unhappy with his economic performance The latest NBC News poll shows 30% of Republicans feeling that Trump has fallen short on the economy. A group of them illustrated their experience and their political views.

They are uncomfortable facing the consequences of their choices.

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Mike Johnson: "These blue states have abused the SNAP program just like they've abused Medicaid and so many other government programs."

SOMEONE SAYS TO MIKE JOHNSON: "THE BIBLE SAYS, 'HE UPHOLDS THE CAUSE OF THE OPPRESSED AND GIVES FOOD TO THE HUNGRY.” HE RESPONDS, "I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.".

The standard answer is “only jobs intended for teenagers make minimum wage.”

I like the “nominally represents” part because we all know he is really just “the king’s representative” in Congress.

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation.

They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.
