Trump feared competition from Maduro. Can’t have another guy cornering the market on oppression. That’s the US brand. When others do it, it’s tyranny. When the US does it, it’s ‘national security.’

Foreign policy is not the personal domain of a president. Congress has a constitutional role to serve as the voice of the people and a restraint on power. One of the oldest moves in the authoritarian playbook is to sideline the legislature and strip away checks and balances...

... that’s Step Three in the autocrat's playbook. In our democracy, actions of this magnitude and decisions about what happens next, must go through Congress - not be dictated by a president who admires authoritarians and rules like one.
