Trump has no right to take us to war with Venezuela. This is reckless and illegal.
Congress should vote immediately on a War Powers Resolution to stop him.

Scathing response from @schiff.senate.gov:
"“Acting without Congressional approval or the buy-in of the public, Trump risks plunging a hemisphere into chaos and has broken his promise to end wars instead of starting them...Congress must bring up a new War Powers Resolution and reassert its power."

So just "Trump Memorial Center"?
Trump posted a clip to his Truth Social account Wednesday that suggested the Kennedy name be removed entirely from the Kennedy Center. The clip complained that Kennedy had been “elevated to obscene levels.”

Trump has just issued pardons to dozens of conservatives who tried to overturn the 2020 election results, including: Mark Meadows, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn, and more — per pardon attorney Ed Martin.
