How the United States Went to War in Venezuela Without Congress By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News The Question That Ends the Debate Before we argue motives, morality, or messaging, one question has to be answered: Under what legal authority did the United States use military force against Venezuela?

An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Vote NO on Project 2025 author Russell Vought for OMB!

I’m a constituent writing to say that I’m outraged that Trump is working with Elon Musk to shut down the functions of our federal government. I’m also furious about the attempts to “freeze” federal spending. And I know that all of this goes straight back to Trump’s nominee for OMB Director, Russell Vought. If confirmed, moreover, I know that Vought will further enable Trump’s and Musk’s unconstitutional power grab.

Vought has made it clear in his confirmation hearings that his allegiance is to Trump and not to our Constitution. If he is put in charge of OMB, he will greenlight Trump and Musk’s coup which would cause devastating harm to millions of people in our communities.

Please stand up against Trump’s assault on our democracy. I expect the Senator to call for Vought’s nomination to be withdrawn and to vote NO if his confirmation moves forward. Remember that you work for us. Thanks.
