I am outraged and alarmed by Trump's illegal acts of aggression against Venezuela and Maduro. I am also beyond appalled by Congress's feckless failure to use its constitutional powers.......................................... Bombing a civilian airport is an act of war. ........Targetting a head of state for capture is sends a disturbing signal across the globe and makes the world less safe. It is not an acceptable policy or action........Trump's actions in Venezuela are a violation of international sovereignty .....Congress and the American people were bypassed. ..The Gang of Eight was not informed..... Can I remind you that CONGRESS, NOT the president, HOLDS THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWER TO DECLARE WAR?.......... And let me remind you that invading Venezuela is wildly UNPOPULAR with us, the people.................................... I ask you to: immediately speak out against this illegal act of war; you can both acknowledge the abuses of the Maduro regime AND condemn an illegal response.... deemed a legal written justification for the Trump actions..... Hold House and Senate foreign affairs committer hearings on the decision making, legality, and diplomatic and strategic risks of the strikes and kidnapping.... Demand an immediate briefing for the gang of 8. AND, TAKE BACK THE CONSTITIONALLY ENSHRIINED POWERS OF CONGRESS NOW: that means WAR POWERS, TARIFF POWERS and APPROPRIATIONS. .........Congress needs to show that there will be consequences for presidential overreach, usurpation, and illegal action..................................................................... HOW MUCH ELSE does Trump have to violate, endanger, steal, destroy, imperil and violate before you restore the rule of law and the constitution?...................................................................We see that this is all one big distraction from the Epstein files. It is intolerable that the U.S. is going to war, making children hungry and causing deaths at home and abroad, all to protect the powerful men (including Trump) who were complicit in the largest pedophile sex trafficking ring in US history.
