2. And re Venezuela. Really think we'd have an actual plan if Murphy was Senate Leader

If the House sends the Energy Dept Appropriations bill to the Senate this week, I will file an amendment to stop the Administration's insane plan to take Venezuela's oil at gunpoint into order to nation build. It would be a massive mistake that only the oil companies would love.
