President Donald Trump lashed out at the five Republican senators who voted to advance legislation that would constrain his war powers in Venezuela on Thursday.

The GOP lawmakers — Rand Paul of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Todd Young of Indiana and Josh Hawley of Missouri — joined with the chamber’s entire slate of Democrats to tee up a vote that could compel Trump to seek the approval of Congress before taking any additional military action in Venezuela.

The president, who is looking to wield his foreign policy powers to reassert greater U.S. control over the Western Hemisphere, wrote on his social media platform Thursday that Republicans “should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats to take our Powers.”

The senators, he declared, “should never be elected to office again.”

“This vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President’s authority as Commander in Chief,” Trump wrote.

Collins is the only one of the five Republicans who is up for reelection this year. Her seat has long been a top target for Democrats, although she has continuously won in a state that Democrats typically carry in presidential and other statewide races.

Five Senate Republicans joined with Democratic lawmakers in a surprise rebuke of President Donald Trump Thursday, voting to advance legislation that would force the commander in chief to seek Congress’ OK before taking any additional military action in Venezuela.

Here’s a closer look at each of the GOP lawmakers and how they explained their votes:

Rand Paul of Kentucky: Paul was a co-sponsor of the war powers measure and has been outspoken in his concern across multiple presidencies that the executive branch has overstepped its authority to use military force without congressional consent.

Lisa Murkowski of Alaska: She sided with similar Democratic-led war powers measures in the past, lamenting that White House officials have not provided enough legal justification for attacks on drug traffickers or for the operation to remove Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Susan Collins of Maine: Collins said in a statement that voting to limit presidential powers was “necessary” because of Trump’s recent comments about potentially using ground troops and a sustained military engagement in Venezuela.

Josh Hawley of Missouri: Hawley similarly said that Trump’s “boots on the ground” comments illustrated the need to reinforce Congress’ role in approving future military actions. The conservative has been a staunch defender of Trump’s policies in the past.

Todd Young of Indiana: Young expressed support for the operation to capture Maduro but said in a statement that he is concerned about the potential for a long-term military presence in the country: “I — along with what I believe to be the vast majority of Hoosiers — am not prepared to commit American troops to that mission.”

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this report misspelled Nicolás Maduro’s name.

House Republicans are summoning top health insurance executives to testify on Capitol Hill this month as part of a broader effort to examine health care costs, a move that comes weeks after enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits expired Dec. 31.

The hearing announcement comes amid Democrat criticism that Republicans allowed the enhanced ACA subsidies to lapse — a decision they argue is burdening Americans who relied on the enhanced tax credits to help them afford Obamacare premiums. It also comes amid pressure from President Donald Trump, who urged House Republicans earlier this week to tackle health care affordability.

“Alarm bells have been ringing for health care affordability for months,” said House Energy and Commerce health subcommittee ranking member Diana DeGette (D-Colo.). “And with the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits at the end of 2025, we knew that premiums would skyrocket in 2026.”

But House Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) said the Jan. 22 health subcommittee meeting with insurer executives will be part of a series of hearings over the next few months focused on health care affordability.

“While some want to talk solely about a small subset of the population, I believe we have to take a broader look,” Guthrie said.

UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest insurer, said it has received the invitation to the hearings and looks forward “to discussing health care costs as part of their series with hospitals, drug companies, and others,” spokesperson Robert Josephson said in a statement.

“Keeping health care affordable should be everyone’s top priority, and we will continue to partner with policymakers on solutions,” Josephson said.

Trump told House Republicans earlier this week that he plans to meet with 14  insurance companies in the coming days to pressure them to bring down prices.

“I am hopeful that we can have a productive discussion about what is truly driving increased healthcare costs and premiums for everyone,” Guthrie said. “From there, we need to look at the entire health care system, why prices and costs are going up.”
