Venezuela

[aurumcalendula]

It looks like there were two bills regarding Venezuela introduced yesterday:

H.Con.Res.68 - To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.

and

S.3595 - A bill to prohibit the use of funds for the deployment of United States military or intelligence personnel in Venezuela for certain purposes.

(I saw the AP mention that a war powers resolution to limit further attacks on Venezuela advanced in the Senate, but I'm unclear if that referred to either of these)

ETA (1/9/2026): I think this is the resolution mentioned by the AP:

S.J.Res.98 - A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.

Good next steps, yes...

I've written my senators to support both the Senate bills plus the Greenland bill put forward by Senator Gallego.
