The principles of Josh Hawley, man of principle
By 
You’ll never guess who caved after making noises about being willing to check the power of the president to take unauthorized military action:
The US Senate has voted against a war powers resolution that would have prevented Donald Trump from taking further military action against Venezuela without giving Congress advance notice.
Senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Todd Young of Indiana, who had joined three other Republicans to advance the resolution alongside Democrats last week, flipped after they said they received assurances from the Trump administration.
With Hawley and Young’s votes, the Senate was split 50-50 on the resolution. JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. Republican senators Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins cast their votes for the war powers resolution alongside Democrats.
Senate Democrats forcefully condemned Republican opposition to the resolution, which aimed to check the president as he threatens further action in other countries including Greenland, Iran and Mexico.
Look, if history has taught us anything, it’s that the word of Donald Trump is a very solemn inviolable bond. He’s bound to straighten up and starting treating you right, especially now that you’ve shown again that you’ll run and hide at the first hint of pressure. Speaking of which, have those Medicaid cuts that Hawley gestured at opposing in theory and then supported in practice been restored yet?
