Trump looks poised to invade Venezuela. Naval ships are taking aggressive formations and Venezuela has called on thousands of reinforcements to stand guard. Also, it turns out that fentanyl from Venezuela is nearly none existent and most is arriving through the pacific instead.

"Shortly before Republicans held the vote on the map, nine Senate Democrats left the chamber, while two others – state Sen. Judith Zaffirini and state Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa – stayed in the chamber, giving Republicans a quorum to move forward with the vote." REMEMBER these two at election time!

There IS no crime emergency in DC requiring Trump to call in the National Guard and seize control of the DC Police! DC crime is actually at a 30 year LOW. IMO Trump is creating his own impenetrable kingdom within DC and is testing the waters to be able to get away with this in other major cities.

The Texas State Senate passed the redistricting map. But it will still need to pass in the Texas State House and then be passed on to Gov Abbot to be signed into law. So there is still (some) hope, thanks to Texas State House Democrats!

A stronger case for why D.C. should become a state has never been made. Trump’s seizure of power today is based on false pretext and is meant to distract from Epstein. But it has real consequences. The people of D.C. should not be ruled by a tyrant. This is intimidation without representation.
