“My great fear...is that...the release of that information, which...will be devastating 4 Trump,...he might take us 2 #war w/ #Venezuela just 2 get a distraction in the news & take it out of the headlines.”
#House passes bill to reopen government after longest #shutdown ever
The legislation now goes to #Trump to sign into #law.
The bill INCLUDES the provision allowing Senators who were investigated by the #DOJ for their alleged involvement in Trump’s effort to overturn the #2020election to sue the #US #government for $500,000.
It DOES NOT INCLUDE the #healthcare subsidies for the #ACA, nor a reversal of the GOP #Medicaid cuts Democrats wanted.
Carriers are strategic assets, & the #US uses its fleet of 11 — many of which are in scheduled maintenance & not available to sail at any given time — for power projection & deterrence in its top-tier #security concerns, notably countering #China in the Indo-Pacific region & maintaining a deterrent presence in the #MiddleEast, said Mark Cancian, a senior #defense adviser at CSIS.

Padrino said on national television that #Venezuela’s leader, Nicolás #Maduro, ordered a massive deployment of soldiers, “almost 200,000,” he said, as part of the special operation.
…The breadth of firepower inherent to an #AircraftCarrier strike group—the Ford typically travels with dozens of fighter jets & an assortment of other lethal capabilities—would seem excessive for the type of strikes that #US forces have carried out on alleged drug boats since early Sept, experts said.
The objective is to place “the entire country’s #military arsenal on full operational readiness,” Padrino López said. The preparations include “massive deployment of ground, aerial, naval, riverine & missile forces” with the participation of all security forces & militia.

The Ford & its 3 accompanying #warships arrived in the region Tuesday, the Navy said in a news release.

And some Democrats actually voted for this?!
Deal to end #shutdown would also allow some #Republicans to sue the #US government for #Jan6 investigation
Legislation moving through #Congress that would end the longest government shutdown in US history would also allow 8 Republican senators to seek hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages for alleged privacy violations stemming from the #DOJ's investigation of the Jan 6, 2021, Capitol #insurrection.
