Oh YES!!! Ty
Trump: "I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to."
TIM WALZ: Do not take the bait. Do not take the bait. Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act. Do not allow them to invoke martial law.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issues a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard: "I feel your anger. I'm angry."
If this is true, it is indefensible. Blocking a doctor and an ambulance is not “law enforcement.” It is state violence. Full stop.
Rep Lieu: "If any military member, including the generals on down...participate in the use of military force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders."
We watched a woman being executed by an ICE Agent today as she fled for her life. She had a wife and was a dog mom. She was murdered while acting as a legal observer helping to defend the oppressed and the hunted. Holding all of us with love and tenderness right now. We are not OK.
(NOT) BREAKING (NOT NEW) NEWS:
Trump just posted lies on Truth Social about the murder of a legal observer in Minneapolis.
If you were hopeful that Trump would post a reasonable, calm, measured, reassuring message that a full, fair and impartial investigation will be conducted into the ICE agent’s conduct in MN, I regret to inform you that is not what went down on Truth Social.
Today is very bad and we should all be very angry but I am here to remind us that the birthday we are celebrating this year is not for the Constitution but for our rebellion against monarchy. The sincerest form of flattery is imitation.
"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret.
But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.
It's not just that the new ICE agents are untrained and incompetent, it's that the people drawn to this job in this environment are people who get off on cruelty. It's a position tailor made for sadists. Kind, decent people are not applying.
So President Trump seems to think the Govt of Venezuela has already been toppled and in fact the government's foreign minister is touching base with Iran about getting support.
Unless you follow military air flights it’s hard to say if this is unusual. C17 are used for troop and equipment transport. Ramstein is huge
and is also a NATO base. There’s always a lot of air traffic in and out of there.
real post
Immediately after the news broke that the U.S. military had invaded Venezuela and captured Maduro, the folks at Fox wanted to invade Mexico, Colombia and Cuba next! What happened to NO NEW WARS?
Rubio on Cuba:
“It is run by incompetent, senile men.”
That is what the world is saying about America.
so, what, “help us do a coup, you get to look cool on the internet, we get to run the country now”?
sure yeah guess we’re renting out coup services now, that tracks
The response from Senator Mark Kelly, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social. Thank you, sir.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.
Colombian President Petro commenting on the US;
“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."
With this regime anything is possible…
I hope a foreign democracy will kidnap our President if they ever decide he’s a criminal, who stole from his own people, used the military against them and tried to cling to power to enrich himself and his friends.
How about you guys?
When the C-17 Globemaster 111 flies into Dover with a cargo of flag draped coffins, the public will hopefully understand the horrible ramifications of this invasion.
