Highly important video of the ICE Minnesota shooting. "Driver...waves for other [vehicles] to go ahead" "The agent is not being run over. In fact, his feet are positioned away from the SUV" "Agents blocked...a physician" from providing medical care. https://t.co/s6MOTbQ0hs

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign. Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world. This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

The US ran a war game during Trump 1.0 to assess what Maduro’s fall might unleash. It found that chaos and violence would likely erupt as military units, rival political factions and even jungle-based guerrilla groups jockeyed for control. @michaelcrowley
