Plan (drafter input)

planner hypocrisy_callouts

The Senate just blocked a resolution that would have required congressional approval before Trump could launch military action against Cuba. Joe names the members, names the vote, and points out that this is the same chamber that spent years insisting on congressional war powers. The button: they don't actually believe in it — they believe in it when the other party's president is the one with the missiles.

Video format lands harder for a sharp named-hypocrisy callout. Cuba sanctions cluster has a specific, concrete fact — the Senate vote blocking the war-powers resolution — that Joe can build a punchy 70-word script around. Fresh lane from recent content.

Script

Ok but here's the thing. Trump is threatening to send the USS Abraham Lincoln to Cuba. Said the crew would stop a hundred yards offshore. And he's been floating the idea of a military takeover. [pause] So some senators introduced a resolution. Simple ask: get congressional approval before launching military action against Cuba. The Senate blocked it. [pause] These are the same people who spent years insisting Congress has to authorize the use of force. Tim Kaine introduced it. Rand Paul voted for it. Most of the chamber said no. And that's the part nobody's talking about. They don't actually believe in congressional war powers. They believe in them when the other party's president has the missiles.
