Janice Schakowsky: “I am hoping that we can keep our run of bipartisan hearings and work.”

Constituents are calling my office in tears. They are terrified.

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.

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.
