Congress must act now to block Trump’s unauthorized war.

Donald Trump has ordered military strikes against Iran without congressional approval — violating the Constitution and risking full-scale war in the Middle East. This isn’t just reckless. It’s illegal.

The War Powers Act makes clear: only Congress can declare war. Yet Trump is bypassing that authority, escalating tensions with Iran at a dangerous pace. Republicans and Democrats alike are sounding the alarm. However, unless Congress intervenes now, this could spiral out of control.

That’s why Senators Bernie Sanders and Tim Kaine, along with Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, have introduced urgent legislation to block unauthorized military action. The bipartisan War Powers Resolutions would prohibit further strikes and force Trump to seek approval before dragging the U.S. into war.

Public outrage can make the difference. When people speak up, Congress listens. We need overwhelming pressure right now to ensure lawmakers back these bills and stop another disastrous conflict — before lives are lost.

The time to act is now. Add your name and demand Congress pass the War Powers Resolutions and stop Trump’s illegal war with Iran.

We’ve been here before. Let’s make sure we don’t go down that road again.

Thanks,
Mary
