GOP Leaders PANIC IN DC over INVASION as Congress Returns
From MeidasTouch
The return of MAGA Republicans, led by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, has sparked intense debate and controversy in Congress over Donald Trump's unauthorized military operation in Venezuela. Despite widespread unpopularity and concerns about constitutional authority, Johnson defended the actions as compliant with Article 2 powers, asserting that the operation isn't a regime change despite backing key figures within Nicolás Maduro's government.
Key Takeaways
