Janice Schakowsky: “I just really find offensive the selective criticisms.”

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.

Trump’s dangerous rhetoric cannot be normalized. We must act immediately to hold this administration accountable and protect the American people.

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

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