Democratic Sen #TimKaine of Virginia pressed #Rubio on why the #US #military’s targeting criteria for attacking alleged drug #boats in Latin American waters DO NOT INCLUDE DRUGS ON THE BOAT. Kaine described it as “odd” before adding that he can’t share much more because the targeting criteria are classified.

Why should a failure to block something amount to a tacit approval? To me, that is an argument from silence, a fallacy, and this war of choice in Iran remains unauthorized by Congress (see https://reason.com/2026/04/16/congress-declines-again-to-rein-in-trumps-iran-war/). Even more ludicrous is why Congress—who decides on which wars to wage—requires a two-thirds majority to overrule a president's veto on a war powers resolution (see INS v. Chadha).

Sen #TimKaine also echoed Sen #MarkWarner (D-VA), the top #Democrat of the #Senate #Intelligence Cmte, saying that “all of the intelligence” he has seen suggests that there was “no imminent threat” from #Iran. He said Iran was “a decade” away from building missiles that could reach the #US.

A lawyer from a lower middle class background, #CiliaFlores began her political rise in the 1990s, becoming close to #HugoChávez — the former president who was #Maduro’s mentor & predecessor — while he was imprisoned after a failed #coup attempt in 1992. She steadily climbed the ranks of Chávez’s socialist movement, known as #chavismo, becoming a central figure in #Venezuela #legislature.
