Congressman Salud Carbajal condemns Trump’s Venezuela raid

January 5, 2026

Congressman Salud Carbajal

OPINION by CONGRESSMAN SALUD CARBAJAL

The Trump administration’s decision to attack Venezuela was a reckless and deeply destabilizing action. Launching unilateral military strikes and seizing Maduro without a clear plan for what comes next risks creating a dangerous power vacuum — one that could plunge the entire region into chaos and endanger countless lives.

Today’s military action undermines the United State’s global standing and weakens the international rules-based order our country helped build decades ago. Maduro is an illegitimate leader, but these actions risk pulling our nation into yet another open-ended conflict at a time when the American people are demanding an end to forever wars abroad.

At the same time, these actions do nothing to put the interests of the American people first and fail to address our current cost-of-living crisis.

The Trump administration must immediately brief Congress on today’s strikes and its plans for the region. I also call on Speaker Johnson and other congressional Republican leaders to reassert Congress’s oversight and war-making authority. The American people deserve answers immediately.

Salud. You would have been in a race with your fellow dems to see who could leak the raid first. Don’t even try to convince anyone that you wouldn’t. You would do anything, anything to see a Trump failure. While I know that hypocrisy is long lost on your ilk, the fact that you were all crowing about Maduro and his illegitimacy as little as a few months ago, and are now crowing at his removal, is such transparent TDS that pretty much anything you say is colored by your ridiculous party line. Thank the stars that UCSB is in your district. Without them you wouldn’t even have a stool from which to spew your nonsense.

If Trump and his administration found a cure for cancer Salud Carbajal and the rest of the democrat party would say let cancer patients die due to their hatred of Trump. Carbajal has been an absolutely awful representative for this area and doesn’t care about the people he represents. I know from first hand experience of trying to work with his office to recieve medical care as a veteran and the difficulty and lack of resources for that care in this area that Carbajal represents.

Trump should advise the nation NOT to drink Draino. These Democrat lemmings will clear the shelves of that product and finally rid the world of their insanity.
