We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Spoke with Prime Minister Montenegro to express my deepest solidarity following the extreme impact of Storm Kristin in Portugal. The loss of life and destruction to infrastructure are heartbreaking. My gratitude goes to the teams working to ensure citizens’ safety and to restore power.

Please call Senators: Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young. And thank them for voting with Democrats to limit Trumps power in Venezuela. I spoke to 2 different staffers at Murkowski & Hawley offices and they are getting an earfur from MAGA.

REMEMBER!!!! Congress has authority over the use of military force & can stop the DJT from imposing martial law, such actions typically require congressional approval. The Supreme Court has ruled that martial law cannot be declared without a state of emergency. DON'T GIVE HIM THE EXCUSE HE NEEDS!!!!

The Monroe Doctrine, “Trail of Tears” and “Manifest Destiny”. Trump, Rubio, et-al have used "Monroe Doctrine" as justification for military action in Central America. They have also made it clear they have aims to control sovereign nations like Canada, Greenland and Cuba. THIS MUST BE STOPPED!

Trump just admitted in his address to the nation, the attack on Venezuela was an "attack on Sovereignty". There is NO QUESTION this is an act of WAR and a violation of the US Constitution and International law. HONOR YOUR OATH!!!

There is a FALSE trope going around that "illegal" aliens do not qualify for "due process". This is 100% FALSE! “It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in deportation proceedings.” Justice Antonin Scalia, 1993 www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics...
