The president needs to make the case if he's going to try to put boots on the ground in Venezuela.

Ms. Machado is a hero. She deserves to win the Nobel Prize. And one of the mistakes the Biden administration made last year... was not put more pressure on Maduro then to leave.
I think the president is seeing this one-sided plan kind of blow up in his face with pushback from the Ukrainians, from the Europeans, from members of Congress of his own party.
This would be a complete capitulation and that's why I think you're hearing from Congress, both sides, people pushing back ... It feels like this was a plan that they took almost entirely from the Russians.
My reaction is it's awful. It would make Neville Chamberlain's giving in to Hitler outside of World War II looks strong in comparison.
We hit a new low, what the administration did in the last 24 hours is corrosive not only to our Democracy but downright dangerous for our national security.
We need to say – listen, President Trump has ended up – and I'm a big supporter of Ukraine – has met more with Volodymyr Zelenskyy this year than he's met with any Democrat.
Don't let people go hungry, when we've got money set aside on SNAP. That can all be accomplished. Sooner, the better.
Come back and put America first. Sit down and let's get this resolved. It can be done in an hour, using Donald Trump terms.
The meeting is, let's sit down and resolve it. I can't believe Donald Trump, the great dealmaker of dealmakers, who – at least how he presents himself – sitting down with us, we couldn't reach an agreement in an hour.
If you want to put Americans in harm's way, it needs to be done on a bipartisan basis.
This document needs to be shared with every member of the Senate this week, so that as we get into this discussion about war powers, we've got the basis of how the administration is claiming that it's legal.
The notion of at least sitting down to talk about health care, making sure that $6 billion that is set aside for SNAP benefits gets paid out so people don't go hungry and we get the government reopened again.
Get the money out to people in need, sit down with us, get this resolved this week, and let's get everybody back to work.
Get the darn thing open. Deal with the health care cliff. Don't let people go hungry, when we've got money set aside on SNAP.
I hope it ends it this week. Frankly, I see it from my folks. I was greeting voters yesterday.
This partisan stunt is a slap in the face to Congress’ war powers responsibilities and to the men and women who serve this country.
Shutting Democrats out of a briefing on U.S. military strikes and withholding the legal justification for those strikes from half the Senate is indefensible and dangerous.
This approach risks creating turf battles and undermining the effectiveness of our Intelligence Community.
That’s not what ODNI was created for, and it puts it in direct tension with the agencies it’s supposed to support.
The comments attributed to Jay Jones are appalling, unacceptable, and inconsistent with the person I’ve known.
