Tonight, JD Vance broke the tie so Senate Republicans could kill the Venezuela war powers vote.
This blocks an up-or-down final passage vote on stopping unauthorized hostilities in or against Venezuela.

Invading a country and kidnapping their head of government without any congressional authorization is a terrifying and blatantly illegal act that tears at our Constitution. Congress must step in and stop this reckless, unconstitutional act of war.

A law passed by Congress and signed by President Trump requires “all” Epstein files possessed by the DOJ to be released TODAY.
Instead, Deputy AG Todd Blanche says some files will be released “over the next couple of weeks.”
This is unacceptable. End the coverup now.

President Trump keeps trying to give the White House and David Sacks the power to override state AI safety laws.
Doing this only makes sense if the president’s goal is to please the Big Tech elites who helped pay for his campaign, his inauguration and his ballroom.

On Monday, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries avoided taking a stance on the issue, saying that it “hasn't been brought to the leadership level yet.”
