"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

I want Congress to treat this like a crisis. You can leak the Epstein files, you can get back to affordability and healthcare, but the man may burn the world down to stay two steps ahead of you. I want the world to treat this like the crime and threat it is and use all economic and diplomatic tools.

Until then, it is an unconstitutional action of 47 involving the DoD in an illegal move in Venezuela.
The people of USA have not authorized a war. Far from it.
