John,
Let’s be clear about what has happened in Venezuela. Donald Trump recently
ordered an illegal and unconstitutional attack, with no authorization from
Congress, and no plan for what comes next.
This is how forever wars start. It’s not about drug trafficking — if it
were, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned the former Honduran president who was
convicted for his role in a drug trafficking scheme that smuggled 400 tons
of cocaine into the United States.
This is about oil, greed, and power. And it’s about a president who lied
when he said he’d put a stop to endless wars and focus on making life
affordable for people here at home.
Trump can’t even run America, and now he wants to run Venezuela.
Congress, not the president, has the sole power to authorize war.
Republicans need to step up, do their Constitutional duty, and join
Democrats in ensuring that Congress reasserts our authority and puts a
stop to this.
Because if we allow Trump to get away with this, we’re setting a precedent
where any rogue leader can push regime change anywhere they want across
the world.
I’m fighting back, but I can’t do it alone.

rein in Trump’s abuse of power?

The American people have said over and over again that we do not want
another war. If we’re going to stop this one, we have to step up together.
In solidarity,
Pramila Jayapal
