At a moment when families are struggling with skyrocketing health care costs, unaffordable housing, and the everyday costs of groceries and prescription drugs, Donald Trump wants to put American lives and taxpayer dollars on the line so his billionaire allies can profit off another country’s oil and minerals.
The American people don’t want another generation of forever wars. Neither do I.
That’s why I voted last month in support of two War Powers Resolutions that would have prevented actions we saw this weekend and stopped further military escalation in the Caribbean. But ultimately, Republicans defeated the measures.
As we head back into session this week, I’m pushing for new War Powers Resolutions to prevent further military action in Venezuela and to block the expansion of this dangerous pursuit of other countries’ natural resources.
But the reality is this: as long as Republicans control the House, it will remain harder to stop this reckless escalation and hold Donald Trump accountable.
Taking back the House this year is essential if we want Congress to serve as a real check and refocus our government on lowering costs and improving people’s lives here at home.
That’s why I’m asking you to chip in $5 to help me keep up the fight to prevent a new era of forever wars, power our efforts to reclaim the House this November, and finally hold this administration accountable.
