In response to President Trump’s illegal invasion of Venezuela, Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) has called for his impeachment. The Senator condemned Trump’s actions, which included seizing the capital, taking President Maduro prisoner, and seizing the country’s oil assets, as an attempt to distract from his own failures and enrich his donors.

Senate to vote next week to block Trump’s military action against Venezuela, that’s the headline, and honestly, it’s hard not to feel a sense of… well, let’s call it *underwhelmed* by the timing.
