Today I called Sen King, Sen Collins & Rep Golden to voice my opposition to any war with Venezuela.

I got two answering machines and someone who passed along my message.

No discussion of the issues, no official response, no representation.

Maybe if I was a millionaire or perhaps a celebrity...

For years we have said the Republican goal was to privatize the VA, and Project 2025 underscored that. Now, the VA is about to transfer a trillion dollars worth of VA care to the for-profit sector, and ask that it only adhere to private health care industry standards of care.

It has been reported that there was a 57% decline in applications of professionals wanting to join the VA in 2025. If top doctors no longer want to join the VA because of the chaos of the Trump administration then it will have severe negative long term effects on the quality of veterans healthcare.
Good luck getting healthcare veterans.

The Hegseth Pentagon is FUBAR.

From risking troop safety to spreading "FAKE NEWS" his leadership has been a total mess. Even GOP Senators are forced to admit they don't trust him.

We knew on Day 1 he was not fit. The price of bad leadership is too high for our troops to pay.

MORE from Jack Smith:

"If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether the President was a Republican or Democrat."
BREAKING on MS NOW:

Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says:

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

"Any of the following acts, regardless of a declaration of war, shall ... qualify as an act of aggression:
...
The blockade of the ports or coasts of a State by the armed forces of another State"

It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression.

Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.'

None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack.

Michelle Obama always keeps it real. That’s why we love her.

This is how a decent and good person speaks about other decent and good people who died from a tragic murder.
