Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

Full statement below:

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

And there it is:

Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

No more pretense or excuses. Trump and his team have made the white supremacist foundations of this project explicit and clear.

If you enable this you need to face who and what you are. But you can always choose another way.

Choose humanity. Decency. Equality. Democracy.

People seem to be forgetting that DOJ doesn’t just “get” an indictment. They have to convince a grand jury to vote to return one, something this administration has struggled with recently.

Can everyone share this?

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.

So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?

The answer is: you.

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

Great 🧵

Folks, it’s free. Learn. Please.

Energy matters in politics. It especially matters for Trump. Today, all the energy was with the pro-democracy team. Republicans in Congress should be very worried.

Thank you for your service!

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

Jeffries: "One point that should have my Republican colleagues quaking in their boots. In the Florida 6th race, which was Trump +30 district, the margin was cut in half. There are 60 Republicans in the House who currently represent districts where Trump did worse than 15 or 16 points."

Elon Musk spent millions in a failed scheme to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat.

Voters decisively rejected Donald Trump, Musk and the rapidly deteriorating Republican brand.

Back up off the American people.

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Florida Democrats Celebrate Historic Performances in Florida's First and Sixth Congressional Districts - Florida Democratic Party The Florida Democratic Party is proud to report historic performances in Florida’s First and Sixth Congressional Districts.  As of 8:45pm Eastern Time, with over 95% of precincts reporting, Democrat G...

STATEMENT: Tonight’s results in both CD-1 and CD-6 represent a historic overperformance for Democrats in Florida with a double-digit swing in both districts.

We put Republicans on notice for 2026 — there are no ‘safe’ seats in Florida.

Many of us here are trying. Gaetz & Waltz both carried their districts nearly 2:1 in November (66%, 66.5% respectively). This tight margin in the Panhandle is quite encouraging…actually!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Guilty as charged! 👩🏽‍⚖️

…and absolutely LOVE Mint Condition! #SangStokley

It’s surreal that I have to go to a foreign leader to hear someone describe the full derangement and malignancy of my own president in plain language, because our own “free press” and opposition leaders won’t do it. Bravo Trudeau

NEW: The Trump administration is suspending all U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

Friday's Oval Office betrayal was to create a pretext for this move. As long as Trump is in office, America will be on Putin's side.

OMG!!! 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣

“Leon’s” bot brigade can’t swarm here. Birdland has devolved into an utter wasteland.

That said…thank you for being HERE! We’re eternally grateful for your (& team DD) advocacy, representation, & tenacity!
