This week, a bill to stop Trump from launching strikes against Venezuela fell 2 votes short in the House.
Last month, our similar effort in the Senate came up 2 votes short.
4 more Republicans.
That's all we need to stop this administration from potentially dragging America into war.

It appears that the Trump regime is okay with ransacking the Capitol, but following ICE is “domestic terrorism”.

For the first time in decades, I handed my successor an air traffic controller workforce that was growing instead of shrinking.
Disturbingly, the Trump administration can't or won't say whether that’s still the case.
