By starting conflict abroad to distract from problems at home, Trump is taking another page out of the autocrat’s playbook.

We need leaders in Washington who will hold the powerful accountable. I've stood up to Trump when our values were on the line, and I'll do it in Congress.

And while Trump “runs” Venezuela, mid-Michiganders face: rising costs of groceries, energy, housing, and health care, and an Administration focused on making deals and passing bills that benefit themselves and the ultra rich.

It signals to our enemies that unilaterally toppling a foreign leader is acceptable.

Whether it’s Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or China’s ambitions on Taiwan, it emboldens bad actors to pursue a policy of naked aggression around the world — against U.S. interests.

It's about oil. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world — and Trump wants them.

He even consulted oil executives before he launched a U.S. military operation.

This doesn’t make Americans safer. In fact, it does the opposite.

Maduro was an oppressive and illegitimate dictator. But it’s also clear that wasn't Trump's motivation for overthrowing a foreign leader.

If it were, Trump would not be propping up Maduro’s unelected Vice President.

Today’s anniversary is a reminder that we must stand up against extremism to ensure that our democracy is strong enough to last the next 250 years. I’m grateful to the brave law enforcement officers who defended our Capitol, and I am committed to fighting for the values that founded our nation.
