Janice Schakowsky: “Making matters worse, Republicans here in Congress continue to block or even repeal the few privacy protections we have.”

We must return to diplomacy, uphold Congress’s authority, and prioritize the safety of U.S. service members and civilians above all else.

President Trump’s announcement of ‘major combat operations’ was not authorized by Congress, and I fully support a bipartisan War Powers resolution to reclaim our constitutional authority over matters of war.

Abandoning that approach in favor of reckless escalation puts lives, security, and regional stability at risk.

I fought for and continue to defend the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which proved that diplomacy, not war, can constrain Iran’s nuclear program and keep Americans safe.
