US Lawmakers Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Block Trump's Venezuela War Plans

In a move aimed at curbing President Donald Trump's aggressive stance towards Venezuela, US lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan resolution in the House of Representatives. The bill seeks to prohibit military strikes on the South American nation without congressional approval.

The measure was initially sponsored by four Democrats and co-sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who added his name to the bill on Tuesday. The resolution highlights the growing concern among lawmakers about Trump's plans for military intervention in Venezuela, which has been met with widespread criticism from both Democrats and Republicans.

Cavan Kharrazian, a senior policy adviser at Demand Progress, said that the introduction of the bill sends a clear message to President Trump and "the war hawks around him" that Congress is prepared to stand against any reckless march to war. The resolution's co-sponsorship by Massie adds weight to its chances, as Republicans are increasingly wary of conflict with Venezuela.

The House legislation comes on the heels of a similar bill in the US Senate, which fell short by just a few votes last month due to opposition from Republican senators. However, it appears that both chambers may be moving closer to passing war powers resolutions aimed at blocking military strikes against Venezuela.

A recent CBS News poll found that 70% of Americans oppose taking military action in Venezuela, further underscoring the growing public disapproval of Trump's stance on the issue. With tensions between Washington and Caracas escalating, lawmakers are increasingly emphasizing the need for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.

The introduction of this bipartisan bill marks an important step forward in efforts to prevent US involvement in another costly and divisive war.
 
I'm like "yeah, about time they did that" lol 🙄, you know? Trump's been all over Venezuela like it's nobody's business and now these lawmakers are finally stepping up to stop him 💪. I mean, 70% of Americans against military action? That's straight fire 🔥, no need for me to be surprised at all 😎. Can't say I'm a fan of Massie adding his name though 🤔, but hey, it's a step in the right direction, I guess 🚶‍♂️. War with Venezuela? No thank you 💁‍♂️, let's just keep it peaceful and all that jazz 🎶.
 
😩 This is about time someone did something! I mean, Trump's been threatening Venezuela left and right, and it's just getting ridiculous 🤯. I'm so glad some lawmakers are finally standing up for what they believe in and saying no to war 💪. It's not like we haven't seen this before with Obama and Iraq or Bush and Afghanistan, but at least now there's bipartisan support on both sides of the aisle 🙌. And yeah, that CBS News poll was really eye-opening – 70% of Americans are totally against it too 🤝. I guess we're not as oblivious to diplomacy as I thought 😅. Fingers crossed this bill passes and Trump backs down without a military confrontation 💥
 
I'm kinda relieved they're introducing this bipartisan bill 🙌. I mean, 70% of Americans opposing military action is pretty significant, right? 🤔 It's a good sign that even if Trump's gonna do something, Congress might be able to stop him 🚫. But at the same time, it's not like this is gonna solve everything overnight. We've seen how quickly things can escalate, and it's always better to err on the side of caution ⚠️. Still, I guess it's a start 💪. Maybe we'll actually see some progress on finding a peaceful solution for Venezuela 🌎. Fingers crossed 😊
 
Just heard about this crazy new bill trying to stop Trump's Venezuela plans 🤯 I'm so hyped it's finally someone taking action against his hawkish policies 😅 It's crazy that 70% of Americans are against military intervention, like what's next? 🤔 The fact that it's bipartisan is a huge win too - you can't ignore the people when they're loud about something 👊 Trump should really listen to what Congress and the public have to say 👂
 
🤔 I'm thinking, Trump's got some nerve, trying to take on Venezuela like that... 70% of Americans are against it too, so what's the hold up? 🙄 It's about time someone in Congress steps in and puts a stop to this. bipartisan bills are always better than partisan ones, at least it shows both sides can come together for once. 💪 The fact that even some Republicans are getting cold feet about conflict with Venezuela is music to my ears... 😊 This could be a big deal if it actually gets passed, would mean we don't have another Iraq or Afghanistan on our hands 🤯. Fingers crossed! 👍
 
🤦‍♂️ can't believe trump's gonna try to take on venezuela solo... like, didn't he learn his lesson from iraq? 🙄 anyway, it's cool that bipartisan bills are a thing now - maybe we'll finally get some sense in congress 👀 but seriously, 70% of americans opposed military action? 🤯 what's next, gonna put a damper on the war hawks' plans or something 😏
 
I think it's interesting how Trump's aggressive stance on Venezuela is being met with bipartisan pushback from lawmakers 🤔. The fact that a resolution has been introduced in both the House and Senate suggests a growing consensus among lawmakers about the need for caution when it comes to military intervention in South America. It's also worth noting that public opinion seems to be firmly against military action, with a whopping 70% of Americans opposed to it 📊. I'd love to see more analysis on how this development might impact Trump's foreign policy agenda...
 
🌞️ I'm loving this development! A bipartisan bill is just what we need right now - it's awesome that even in these polarizing times, we can come together as a nation and show that there are still people who care about preventing unnecessary wars 🙏. The fact that Rep. Massie co-sponsoring the bill adds some much-needed credibility to this effort 💪. And with 70% of Americans opposing military action in Venezuela, it's clear that the public is on board too 🤝. Fingers crossed that this bill makes it through and we can avoid another costly and divisive war 💥.
 
🤔 I'm glad someone's speaking up on this... it feels like we're at a tipping point with Venezuela, you know? 🌎 Trump's got the country on edge, and if he takes military action without Congress' approval... that's just gonna be a disaster waiting to happen. We need more voices like Massie, co-sponsoring this bill, speaking truth to power, I guess. 🙏 And yeah, 70% of Americans against war in Venezuela? That's some pretty clear messaging for Trump and his crew. Hopefully it makes 'em think twice... 👀
 
omg i was literally just reading about this yesterday 🤦‍♂️ lol i guess i'm late to the party again, but yeah its kinda crazy that trump is still pushing for military intervention in venezuela like what even is the point? 🤑 i mean i get that some people think he's being tough, but really hes just gonna get us into another war and we'll all suffer 😴 anyway, imo the fact that this bipartisan bill was introduced is super positive news! its great to see lawmakers actually listening to their constituents and trying to do something about it 💪
 
omg what a huge relief 😅 finally some sanity from congress lol Trump's been all over the place on Venezuela, and I'm glad ppl are standing up for themselves and saying no to war 🙏 its crazy how 70% of americans oppose military action tho that should be a wake-up call for lawmakers 👀 anyway hope this bill actually passes & prevents any chaos
 
This is getting out of hand lol... 🤦‍♂️ I mean, can't we just have some constructive discussion on here without needing a bipartisan resolution? It's like we're all stuck in this never-ending loop of 'let's introduce a new bill to block the other guy's plans'. Can't we just talk it out and find a middle ground? 🤔 And what's with the 70% figure from that CBS News poll? I'm sure some people would still be down for a good ol' fashioned war, you know? 😏
 
This is exactly what we need more of - politicians getting their acts together! 🤝 I mean, come on, 70% of Americans are against going to war with Venezuela? That's like, a clear mandate right there. And the fact that this bipartisan bill has co-sponsors from both parties shows us that even the ones who disagree can come together for once.

Now, I know some of my Trump-toting friends out there might say "but what about national security?" And to that, I'd say - hasn't we been in enough conflicts already? Don't we need a break? This bill is like a much-needed check on the President's executive powers. It's time for Congress to take its due role as the guardians of our democracy.

The Senate may have fallen short last month, but this time it's bipartisan and that's what matters - the fact that both sides are getting behind this resolution. We can't keep living in fear of our leaders' whims; we need them to work together for the greater good. 💪
 
Man... I'm surprised it took this long for someone to actually do something about Trump's Venezuela plans 🤦‍♂️. Like, what's next? Are we gonna bomb Iran too just because he says so? 🚨 I mean, come on, a bipartisan bill is a good start, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here... this could just be some watered-down PR stunt to make Trump look like a reasonable guy again. And don't even get me started on Massie adding his name - what's the real motive behind that? 🤝
 
just saw that those us lawmakers finally decided to take action against trump's crazy venezuela plans 🤯🚫 #NotWarWithVenezuela #PeaceOverPower, it's about time someone in the white house got a reality check 😂👊. i think this bipartisan bill is a great start, now let's hope it actually gets passed and we don't end up with another war on our hands 💔💥. 70% of americans saying no to military action in venezuela? that's massive 🤯, i'm glad more people are waking up to trump's aggression 🌟 #UnitedAgainstWar #TrumpIsAFolly
 
😊 I'm so relieved to hear that some folks in the US Congress are finally speaking out against Trump's plans to go to war with Venezuela! 🤝 It's about time, considering how strongly the American people feel about it too - 70% don't want any military action at all! 🙅‍♂️ I mean, who needs more conflict and bloodshed when there are so many other issues we should be focusing on? 💡 It's great to see bipartisan support for this bill, even if some politicians still have their own agendas. Let's just hope it passes and we can avoid another costly and divisive war 😔
 
This is a positive development 🤝, it's great to see bipartisan support on this issue. I think it's awesome that Rep. Thomas Massie is co-sponsoring the bill, his addition definitely gives it more weight. The fact that 70% of Americans oppose taking military action in Venezuela is also a clear indication that there's broad public disapproval for Trump's stance 😒. It's not just about Congress standing up to Trump, but also about listening to what the American people want. We need more bipartisan efforts like this to ensure that our leaders are making decisions that benefit everyone, not just a select few 💪.
