Democracy Now! speaks with journalist Spencer Ackerman about the Trump administration's deadly, ongoing attacks on alleged "drug boats" amid reports President Trump is preparing to attack Venezuela, with all airspace surrounding Venezuela now closed. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and others are "turning the military into a criminal operation," says Ackerman. "This shows the moral degeneracy that the 'war on terror' has left as a legacy in the U.S. military."
