"President Trump's unilateral military action to attack another country and seize Maduro - no matter how terrible a dictator he is - is unconstitutional and threatens to drag the U.S. into further conflicts in the region. What does it mean that the U.S. will 'run' Venezuela, and what will Trump do next around the world? The American people voted for lower costs, not for Trump's dangerous military adventurism overseas that won't make the American people safer."
"Trump has claimed that the U.S. will "run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition," but has yet to identify a long-term plan. "It will endanger U.S. lives, destabilize the region, & cost us billions of dollars," Rep. Ayanna Presley said in a post on X. "Congress must stop this endless war & hold Trump accountable.""
U.S. forces attacked Venezuela and captured President Nicolás Maduro and his wife on Saturday. Massachusetts congressional members criticized the operation and argued it lacked justification under federal or international law. Lawmakers said the president acted unilaterally without congressional approval. Senator Elizabeth Warren called the action unconstitutional and warned it could drag the U.S. into further conflicts and involve dangerous military adventurism. President Trump said the U.S. would "run the country" temporarily but has not presented a long-term plan. Representative Ayanna Presley warned the action will endanger U.S. lives, destabilize the region, and cost billions, urging Congress to intervene.
