Amid U.S. strikes in the Caribbean and newly authorized CIA operations in Venezuela, Sen. Tim Kaine is pushing a bipartisan resolution to bar President Trump from unilaterally declaring war on the country. Filed Thursday with Sens. Adam Schiff and Rand Paul, the measure will reach the Senate after a 10-day wait. Kaine cites accelerating military planning as cause for urgency, while Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, said he is considering land operations. A prior war-powers vote narrowly failed, and uncertainty persists over GOP support and evidence for boat strikes that have killed at least 27.
