<p>Trump bombed a THIRD boat coming from Venezuela that the White House claims was carrying drugs.<sup><small>1</small></sup> Trump is blaming Venezuela’s government for sending drugs to the U.S.,<sup><small>2</small></sup> <strong>ratcheting up military tensions with Venezuela</strong> after Trump secretly signed a directive to use military force against drug cartels in Latin America.<sup><small>3</small></sup></p>
<p><strong>Trump even threatened ground war with Venezuela and any other country he wants to target</strong>: "When they come by land we're going to be stopping them the same way we stopped the boats,” he said.<sup><small>4</small></sup></p>
<p><strong>“There was no legal justification for the Trump Administration’s military escalation in the Caribbean,” Representative Ilhan Omar said after introducing a War Powers Resolution</strong> in the House.<sup><small>5</small></sup> Senator Adam Schiff followed up with a Senate version of the War Powers Resolution to <strong>stop Trump’s “lawless killings.”</strong><sup><small>6</small></sup> Congress must support this measure to end Trump’s illegal warmaking and reassert its powers over the White House.</p>

<p><strong>Sen.
