Sign the petition: Sens. Warren and Markey voted to reassert authority over Trump on Venezuela

 


TELL Sens. Warren and Markey: 49 Senators took a stand against Trump's threats to bypass Congress and attack Venezuela. Trump's unconstitutional threats to strike Venezuela and his unilateral escalations could lead to a prolonged war in the Caribbean. Sign the petition: Thank you for voting to block Trump's war on Venezuela.


49 U.S. Senators voted to stop Trump's unconstitutional military escalations against Venezuela and reassert Congress's war authority over the White House.1

Though the Senate War Powers Resolution failed, it's important that our Senators know that we value and appreciate their votes — especially after the Trump administration bombed another two boats coming from Venezuela last weekend.2

Trump’s strikes in the Caribbean aren’t slowing, and we need our elected officials to keep fighting for peace. Trump even deployed the massive USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier and three warships into Latin American waters, prompting a massive Venezuelan military mobilization.3 We need to show Sens. Warren and Markey our support for this vote so we can keep mounting a fight to stop hostilities with Venezuela.

Sign the petition: Say thank you to Sens. Warren and Markey for voting to block Trump from going to war with Venezuela.

After the vote fell short, Senator Ed Markey said, "Asserting Congress’s constitutional role in war is not some procedural detail; it is fundamental. Our government is based on checks and balances, and Congress’s authority to declare war is a core principle of what makes America a democracy."4

On Trump’s aggression against Venezuela, Senator Adam Schiff said, "It’s really an open secret that this is much more about potential regime change."5

Congress can’t allow Trump to drag the country and our service members into another prolonged, intractable war. Senators who voted last week to stop Trump’s war need to see our support.

Sign the petition: Tell Sens. Warren and Markey thanks for your vote against war on Venezuela.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the Demand Progress team

Ramble On: Waiting for the Barbarians (video) Morning thoughts on exfiltrations, the gutting of the FDA, tomorrow's protests, and how to quiet the brain by visiting Alexandria Greg Olear Apr 4 Good morning! Here is today’s ramble: And here is the transcript, edited for clarity: Good morning. It is Friday, April 4th, 6:17 a.m. We’ve made it. Those of us who have made it have made it through another batshit crazy week, courtesy of Trump and Musk and Vance and this entire cockamamie administration. There’s so many things to discuss.  The Five 8  is gonna be lit tonight. I encourage you to watch that if you’re around, at 8 p.m. Eastern,  on our YouTube channel,  The Five 8 . This morning, I don’t know, I want to talk about a couple of things and my own emotional state this week, because I think that might be helpful. Two stories that really stuck out for me. One of them I wrote about on Monday, or Tuesday rather, in  the April Fool’s piece , which is that the ICE Ge...

POLITICO Nightly: Tesla’s Elon Musk problem

Image
  By  Charlie Mahtesian  and  Calder McHugh Presented by  Elon Musk speaks during a cabinet meeting at the White House today. | Al Drago/Bloomberg BEAR MARKET  — You wouldn’t know it from the frenetic, high profile he currently cuts in Washington, but tech mogul Elon Musk has  lost more than $100 billion in net worth  since mid-December. In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election, the share price of the high-flying electric car company he leads, Tesla, climbed to a high of roughly $480 per share. But it has since cratered to under $300. Shares dropped another 4 percent today, to close at $290.80 per share. For Musk, the world’s richest man and Tesla’s largest shareholder, those are just paper losses. He owns and runs several other companies — among them SpaceX, Twitter, and artificial intelligence startup xAI — so Tesla’s recent decline is just a flesh wound. But the largely parallel timeline between Tesla’s nosedive and Musk’s rise as something ...
