Trump doesn’t appear to have any congressional approval for a declaration of war, and doesn’t seem to have notified the Gang of Eight about any of this.
Before we talk international law, there seems to be some *extreme* disregard for US law here, too.

Rules-based international order has had a rough couple of decades, but this pretty much ends it entirely. Both the strikes and the capture of Maduro are also blatant violations of US domestic law too, of course.

Unless we have a few flag staff resignations tomorrow it's safe to say that the military has been captured.

The argument of the Trump strategy is for "spheres of influence," which either leads to "axis" powers or world war or both.

How do you lift 13M people out of poverty and reduce unemployment?
Increase the minimum wage.
Great post below by Prof. Wolff that describes what Mexico did.
**Note that JFK increased the minimum wage by 25% in the 1960s (from $1 - 1.25/hr within 2 yrs). We think of that time as a "golden age."

#WolffBites: Mexico's minimum wage rose 13% on 1 January 2026. Taking into account inflation, the real Mexican wage was tripled over the last 8 years. Mexico's ruling class opposed the increases as bad for Mexico. They were 100% wrong.

Yet more evidence that improving the lot of those at the very bottom of the income ladder does not necessarily produce unemployment or runaway inflation.

A fight over a prison closure in California in 2022 offered a window into the challenges of reducing incarceration when local economies are so tied with keeping the status quo, but it also offered glimpses of different possible futures.
A Future for Susanville
Plans to shutter a California prison offer halting glimpses of a different world: an economy that doesn’t revolve around incarceration, a country where losing your job isn’t tantamount to ruin, and an opening for abolition.
