While Trump denies reports that the Pentagon is preparing to strike Venezuela, his actions tell a different, disturbing story.

More than a dozen U.S. airstrikes in waters near Venezuela have already killed at least 64 people. Trump recently ordered the Navy’s “most lethal” warship to the Caribbean, and he even confirmed that he’s authorized covert CIA action in Venezuela.

Actions speak louder than words, and Trump’s warmongering is speaking volumes. The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide if and when the United States goes to war. And as Trump pushes us closer to the brink, lawmakers MUST reassert their constitutional authority to keep us from entering a new endless war.

Anti-war champions like Senators Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff are racing to introduce multiple pieces of legislation to avoid a war that puts millions of people at unnecessary risk. Now, it’s up to us to make sure every elected official feels enough heat from their constituents to pull us back from the brink of war.
