Trump recently announced U.S. forces have “knocked off … three boats” — indicating another unauthorized, lethal strike on vessels in the Caribbean. That’s three strikes in less than three weeks.

At least 14 people have been killed, likely in violation of both U.S. and international laws. Trump and his cronies are stonewalling Congress’ efforts to get answers, as troubling questions have emerged as to who was even on the boat, in addition to reports that the vessel was retreating from U.S. forces at the time of the attack.

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 makes it Congress’ responsibility to decide most questions involving the use of force — everything from putting U.S. troops in harm’s way to ordering airstrikes that kill. Congress never authorized these strikes — or any military action in the Caribbean.

We cannot let Trump get away with these unauthorized, unnecessary, and dangerous attacks. Luckily, we’re not alone: Champions in Congress are prepping and introducing a number of War Powers Resolutions to stop Trump. Now, our job is to build support for each one and remind lawmakers that no one wants needless and lawless violence.

First up? S.J.Res.83, just introduced by Senators Schiff and Kaine.
