Veterans and military families are sounding the alarm.

President Trump is escalating military action against Venezuela — launching strikes, deploying an aircraft carrier, openly threatening a ground invasion, and now implementing an illegal blockade — all without congressional authorization and with dozens of lives already lost.

We’ve seen this before. This is how Forever Wars begin.

A bipartisan group of members of Congress has introduced a War Powers Resolution to stop this escalation and reassert Congress’s constitutional authority over war. If passed, it would force transparency, require a vote, and end unauthorized military operations unless Congress explicitly approves them.

Veterans and military families are speaking out because we know the real cost of war. We’ve paid it ourselves, and we refuse to let more lives be put at risk for reckless political decisions.

Tell Congress to stop Trump’s illegal escalation and do their job.
