“With Democratic Sen. John Fetterman joining Republicans in opposing a measure to rein in President Donald Trump’s ability to unilaterally bomb ships in the Caribbean Sea, the US Senate narrowly failed to advance a war powers resolution Wednesday. Since the beginning of September, Trump has conducted four strikes on vessels off the coast of Venezuela which the administration has alleged, with little evidence, are carrying ‘narco-terrorists’ spiriting illegal drugs to the United States. Trump has also deployed thousands of sailors and marines to the Venezuelan coast and is reportedly considering strikes on the Venezuelan mainland, which has stoked fears within the country and across Latin America of another regime-change war.” (10/09/25)
