“That’s just not true. I showed you video of officers being attacked. Trump pardoned them all. There’s clearly a different standard for Trump supporters.”

SENATOR @rubengallego.bsky.social : “These guys know Trump and Vance will make excuses for them. Even when they literally murdered an American. What happened that day was unjustified. That ICE officer should be in jail… I didn’t wear a mask in Iraq.”

James Talarico: When we win a Senate majority, we must launch a full investigation into ICE and haul these masked men in front of Congress so the world can see their faces.
This is the United States of America. We shouldn't be afraid of our government — our government should be afraid of us.

Renee Good should still be here.
She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth.
She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

James Talarico: Military disasters like the Iraq War robbed this nation.
How do you look a parent in the eye and tell them you've sacrificed their child's life for Big Oil's bottom line?

We cannot forget who was complicit on January 6th.
Ted Cruz fanned the flames of insurrection.
Ken Paxton provoked the rioters before the assault.
John Cornyn refused to investigate the attack.
They have forfeited their right to represent us in our nation’s Capitol.

Screenshot of a post by Acyn on X summarizing comments by Representative Dan Goldman. The post states that Goldman criticized the justification for pursuing Nicolás Maduro on drug trafficking charges, calling it bogus and noting that the Honduran president was recently pardoned for similar offenses. Below the text is a television news still from MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki. Dan Goldman appears on screen in a studio or remote setup, wearing a dark jacket and light shirt, speaking directly to the camera. A nighttime city skyline with illuminated buildings is visible behind him. On-screen graphics include a red “Breaking News” banner reading “Maduro arrives in NY to face drugs and weapons charges,” along with Goldman’s name, title, and MSNBC branding.
The White House would like us to forget this, but we will not.

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center.

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.
Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

Talarico: In 2024, Trump met with oil executives and promised them a ‘great deal’ in exchange for $1 billion in contributions.
And now Trump thanked them with a gift — the nation of Venezuela, home to the largest oil reserves in the entire world.
We have to recognize how corrupt this new war is

What makes the regime-change operation in Venezuela morally worse than a typical regime change is that Trump doesn’t even plan to give the Venezuelan people a chance for a new leader or democracy.
He just kidnapped Maduro to seize their oil while leaving the regime in place

Yeah, I am highly addicted to the Landman series, so much so that I wait until it's 12:01 a.m. Sunday morning and keep refreshing my browser until the new episode shows up. I might need help, LOL. 🙃😀
