The Constitution is clear:
Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp to the President.

On these counts, Congress has failed.

The tactics of United States imperialism that are normalized outward will eventually be normalized inward.

If you're not imagining Delta Force operators dragging a Democratic politician and his/her spouse away, you better start, because Donald Trump and his base both dream about this scenario.
Trump sees dollar signs with Venezuelan oil, has designs on other countries, and clearly sees himself as some kind of emperor of the world. I don’t think he has plans to leave in 2028. And he’s showing he’ll use the military however he wants

Unfortunately, I believe this to be accurate. Which gives Congress more reason (as if it's needed) to impeach trump and remove his cabinet...

STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?

RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

Trump probably won't live to see 2028 but that won't matter. Vance is the chosen one. Democrats in office need to start screaming removal now. Courage is contagious and if enough politicians start calling for it, it might steel enough Republican spines.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

NEW: In a phone call this morning, I asked President Trump why Venezuelan regime change was different from Iraq. “I didn’t do Iraq. That was Bush. You’ll have to ask Bush that question, because we should have never gone into Iraq," he told me. Here is the story: www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

The thing is that he does not retain any options regarding this. Even if you accept that there was legal precedent to rendition Maduro—there is no possible AUMF that covers the military occupation of Venezuela.

There is straightforwardly no legal authorization for the President to do any of this.
BRENNAN: To be clear, there is no plan for US occupation of this country of nearly 30 million people?

The truth in all of this is that oil companies have steered the United States into more wars, burned through more taxpayer money, and gotten more people and more Americans killed in the last 80 years than America’s worst enemies could possibly ever dream.
The idea that Trump-MAGA are "anti-interventionist" is based on a confused reading of their hatred of multilateralism and international law and institutions. I argued this during Iran bombing debate (h/t @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social and @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social):
