In his press conference yesterday following military strikes on Venezuela, President Trump didn't mention "democracy" or "elections" once. He did mention another word 20 times: "oil." @mehdirhasan.bsky.social joins me at 10a ET on what that signals about Trump's intentions. #Velshi

Trump called Putin prior to invading Venezuela, but he did not let the United States Congress know! Putin and Trump are behind this invasion obviously.

Despite a statutory deadline requiring all of the files to be released by Dec. 19, 5.2 million documents remain to be reviewed and disclosed. It’s likely that the final public release will not occur until the end of February — one full year after Pam Bondi ordered the release of the records.

What Trump has done to Venezuela is no different than what Putin did to the Ukraine. Trump, a decrepit, moral degenerate is now the most dangerous man in the world. And nearly 40% of the country supports his every move. We are still in year one of his presidency. Can he get any more evil?

To be blunt, the federal Constitution needs to be amended to remove being Commander in Chief of the military from the president. It's too much power for any one person, and it's the only guaranteed way to ensure that Congress as a body maintains control of our military.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.
Text card reads: 
Thinking about...
Venezuela: The Precedents

At the moment, it looks much more like an American attempt to remove a rival for power and clear the way for an American imperialism directed not so much against Maduro as against Venezuelans as a people.

It was striking to hear Donald Trump describe the extraction of Maduro as an “extraordinary military operation,” since this is essentially the same language that Vladimir Putin used in his speech announcing the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

I’m so sick of hearing “ impeachment is pointless”. Impeachment is the lawful, appropriate response that is DEMANDED BY THE CONSTITUTION in an act of war without congressional approval. Not impeaching because it will “never get enough votes” is in and of itself, violating the constitution.

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.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
