Janice Schakowsky: “I think this period in history right now, which I think is characterized by just unimaginable and unnecessary suffering…”

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

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.

The American people overwhelmingly do not want another war in the Middle East, and the last thing our country needs is to be drawn into a conflict that would cost lives and destabilize the region.

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