An emergency meeting was called today after members of Congress learned—after the fact—about the President’s actions involving Venezuela.

Multiple committees were briefed, but here’s the key issue:
Congress was not consulted beforehand.

At the same time, Americans are dealing with real consequences at home, including sharply higher healthcare premiums after ACA subsidies expired.

This all unfolded fast—and Congress is now scrambling to respond as they return to work.

👉 What concerns you more right now:

This week in Congress feels like everything is colliding at once.

Lawmakers were expected to return to Washington focused on extending ACA subsidies that expired December 31—relief millions of families were counting on as healthcare costs rise.

Instead, attention has shifted to urgent unanswered questions about an international occupation Congress says it was not informed about.

At the same time:
• Healthcare premiums are set to spike
• Illnesses are spreading at record levels
• The Epstein files remain unresolved
• Immigration policy could shift dramatically, especially involving Venezuela

Too many critical issues. Not enough clarity.

This is one week in Washington—and the stakes are real.

👉 What do you think Congress should prioritize right now?

The Trump administration has once again raised serious concerns about international law and its constitutional responsibility to inform Congress, this time involving actions toward Venezuela that carry global implications.

As Congress returns to work this week, critical issues remain unresolved. Healthcare subsidies expired on December 31. Questions around transparency and accountability— including the unresolved Jeffrey Epstein files—are still looming.

With so much happening at home and abroad, what should Congress prioritize right now?

What do you think Congress should focus on in this continued and perpetual Donald Trump trauma, turmoil, and drama that now has international implications?
