As I had predicted, the Senate has killed the war powers act resolution to limit Trump's actions in Venezuela.
Senate Republicans are all Trump's little bitches.
The US Senate has voted against a war powers resolution that would have prevented Donald Trump from taking further military action against Venezuela without giving Congress advance notice.
Senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Todd Young of Indiana, who had joined three other Republicans to advance the resolution alongside Democrats last week, flipped after they said they received assurances from the Trump administration.
With Hawley and Young’s votes, the Senate was split 50-50 on the resolution. JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. Republican senators Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins cast their votes for the war powers resolution alongside Democrats.
As a note, if neither Hawley or Young had flipped, Collins would have flipped, as she always does when her vote is the deciding one.
