HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

Himes: "If you were serious about stability in Venezuela, you wouldn't have spent half your press conference talking about oil. What do Venezuelans hears when they hear Donald Trump talking about oil? That the Americans are here for our resources."

That’s right, Congress. Keep letting him do anything he wants, unchecked. Keep showing the country (and the world) what total feckless pussies you are. Well done.

Oh look, a leader with a backbone… Spanish PM Sánchez has stated that Spain will neither recognize the govt of Nicolás Maduro nor support any U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, warning that such action would violate international law and endanger regional stability.

Chris Murphy: "Over and over again we have seen these warmongering neocons, many of which have influence in this White House, cheerlead us into war under the guise of removing a very bad man. That ends up getting a lot of Americans killed."

Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power? CHRIS MURPHY: What changes? You just heard Sen. Cotton not be able to explain who's running the country

Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

In Instagram…jack smith says in testimony that Trump KNEW what he was doing and is responsible for Jan 6th. www.instagram.com/reel/DS8acy-...

Former Special Counsel #JackSmith was asked directly whether investigators found evidence that #DonaldTrump was responsible for the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. His answer was unambiguous. Smith said the evidence showed Trump “caused it,” “exploited it,” and that the violence was entirely foreseeable. According to Smith, Trump knew for days that his supporters were angry, still summoned them to Washington, and then directed them toward the Capitol while Congress was certifying the election.This matters because it cuts through years of spin. The finding was not that events spiraled out of control by accident, but that Trump understood the risk and moved forward anyway. Investigators concluded he was aware of the danger, encouraged the crowd, and then used the chaos to his advantage. That assessment goes to the heart of accountability for January 6 and directly contradicts claims that Trump had no responsibility for what followed.#January6 #CapitolRiot #Accountability #RuleOfLaw #Democracy #DOJ #Insurrection #Truth—🚨HOLY COW: In footage Republicans don’t want you to see, Jack Smith confirms Donald Trump was the CAUSE of January 6. They released it on New Year’s Eve to bury it.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.
