With Pres. Trump’s attempt to purchase Greenland(?!) and his imposition of punitive and coercive tariffs on the EU (10% now and 25% on June 1st), I feel that we are being governed by a madman!! These actions demand immediate congressional intervention to prevent further escalation and to reassert Congress’s constitutional authority. The targeted nations are among the United States’ closest allies and include multiple members of the EU. And of course, tariffs are paid by American importers and passed on to American consumers, meaning this policy would raise prices in the United States while damaging relationships with allies. In parallel, Trump has raised concerns about possible military action related to Greenland. Any use of force against Greenland would place the United States in direct conflict with NATO partners. Congress has already begun to respond and opposition to military action against Greenland is bipartisan (including , astonishingly, Mike Johnson!). This indicates that Congress has the votes necessary to stop an unauthorized escalation—if it chooses to act. Senator Ruben Gallego intends to introduce a War Powers Resolution prohibiting military action against Greenland without congressional authorization. He has also proposed an amendment to the Senate defense appropriations bill that would prohibit funding for military action against Greenland. The Constitution grants Congress the authority to regulate trade, control appropriations, and decide when the nation goes to war. So I’m urging Congress to act immediately by: • Supporting the Gallego War Powers Resolution • Passing appropriations language prohibiting military action against Greenland • Blocking tariffs imposed for political coercion rather than economic necessity. The American people do not support wars against NATO allies or economic self-harm used to pursue territorial ambitions.
