Congress moves to put the brakes on Trump's unilateral bombing
As a fragile ceasefire takes hold between Israel, Iran, and the United States, many questions remain. With Iran’s nuclear program unquestionably damaged but likely not fully destroyed, will the Iranian government now race towards a bomb? Having repeatedly broken recent ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza, will Prime Minister Netanyahu honor this one? And after having twice taken direct military action against Iran, will President Trump pursue the peace he claims to seek or once again choose war?
Netanyahu’s Address to Congress: Democrats Shouldn't Provide the Crowd
U.S. Foreign Policy United States The nation’s attention has been understandably focused on the political whirlwind of the past three weeks’ unprecedented events. From the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump to the chaos and ultimate end of President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, there has been little oxygen for any other news story.
22 Years After Authorization for Endless War, It Is Time to Turn the Page
Like so many, we vividly remember where we were 22 years ago this week as the horrific attacks of Sept. 11 unfolded. We still mourn the 3,000 lives lost that day and will never forget the irreparable damage the attacks on 9/11 had on our community. We remember the people taken too soon and pray for the families and communities forever changed. In the days after 9/11, the president requested and Congress authorized a 60-word blank check for a war that continues to this day.
22 years after military force was authorized in Afghanistan, Congress needs to restore basic checks and balances

How The High Friction Leader Endangers The New Workplace
We are entering the third major corporate transformation in recent decades and the new demands of the latest iteration, the social economy, are clearly challenging leaders.
'Fat Leonard' on the lam: the Navy scandal you never hear about
Fat Leonard is on the lam. If you’ve never heard of Fat Leonard, don’t worry, you’re not alone. If the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist, then perhaps the greatest trick the Pentagon ever pulled was convincing us all to act as if Fat Leonard didn’t exist either.
How presidents used the 2001 AUMF to justify wars unrelated to 9/11 – Responsible Statecraft
Congress’s blank check helped launched conflicts, many currently ongoing, that have nothing to do with the terrorist attacks. Today in our series 9/11 at 20: A week of reflection, we hear from Stephen Miles, Executive Director at Win Without War, a diverse network of activists and organizations working for a more peaceful, progressive U.S. foreign policy.
How limiting Latin Mass may become the defining moment for Pope Francis
Pope Francis took sudden steps on July 16, 2021, to curtail the traditional Latin Mass, in an abrupt reversal of his predecessor's policy. To non-Catholics — and many Catholics — the decision may seem on first glance to be a technical, even obscure action not worth very much attention. But it sent shock waves through the Roman Catholic Church.
Biden Must Realize There Is No Winning an Endless War
The non-partisan Congressional Research Service maintains a list of every “notable” use of U.S. military force abroad. As of June of last year, the list ran on for 46 pages. Last night, President Joe Biden added his first entry when he ordered airstrikes on militia forces on the Iraq-Syria border. What happens next will help determine just how many more pages get added during the rest of the Biden administration.
Biden’s Syria strikes: A perpetual cycle of endless war – Responsible Statecraft
The non-partisan Congressional Research Service maintains a list of every “notable” use of U.S. military force abroad. As of June of last year, the list ran on for 46 pages. Last night, President Joe Biden added his first entry when he ordered airstrikes on militia forces on the Iraq-Syria border. What happens next will help determine just how many more pages get added during the rest of the Biden administration.
How a Fairer Housing Act Could End LGBT Homelessness and Housing Discrimination
Recently, my colleague Richard Kahlenberg wrote an extensive report on how shocking amounts of racial segregation and socioeconomic discrimination exist in the housing market despite the Fair Housing Act. Kahlenberg suggests that the Fair Housing Act can be updated to better serve all Americans, particularly low-income Americans who are priced out of housing due to exclusionary zoning policies.
Dismantling White Supremacist Infiltration of the Military and Law Enforcement
The coordinated attacks on the U.S. Capitol as well as state houses and capitol buildings on January 6 came as a shock to many Americans, as did the widespread presence of members of hate groups among the rioters. But perhaps no aspect proved more troubling to the public than news that active-duty military and members of law enforcement participated in the attempted coup. To those who have long tracked white supremacist groups in the United States, however, this news came as no surprise.
Joe Biden and Congress must repeal the law authorizing endless wars – Responsible Statecraft
In his first year in office, Joe Biden will mark an inauspicious milestone, the 20th anniversary of the passage of the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, the foundational law of our current endless wars. On the campaign trail, President-elect Biden promised to end those wars, and the 117th Congress will convene with the House having already voted for repeal and more than a third of the Senate on board.
Biden and Congress Must Repeal Law Authorizing Endless Wars
In his first year in office, Joe Biden will mark an inauspicious milestone, the 20th anniversary of the passage of the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, the foundational law of our current endless wars. On the campaign trail, President-elect Biden promised to end those wars, and the 117th Congress will convene with the House having already voted for repeal and more than a third of the Senate on board.
Syria’s Human Security Is Inseparable from Its Environmental Health
Syrians are mourning one of the most tragic episodes in the country’s rich history: a revolution that began peacefully in 2011 only to end in all-out war. This “dirty war” has had devastating impacts on the country and its population. Approximately 600,000 people have been killed, and 12 million (more than half of the prewar population) forced out of their homes.
The Ugly History of Single-Family Zoning Resurfaces
The two political party conventions are now behind us, and the candidates have set out to bring their cases to the nation. But one one particularly vivid moment from the conventions lingers: the presentation by Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the White gun-brandishing couple from St. Louis, at the Republican National Convention. The McCloskeys, who have been charged with pointing guns at Black Lives Matter demonstrators, spoke in support of gun rights and the police, which was predictable.
Israel’s annexation plans and Europe’s sanctions problem – Responsible Statecraft
The last few days have been busy for European politicians: parliaments in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany have passed resolutions on Israel’s annexation plans for West Bank territory. Over 1,000 members of parliaments from across Europe signed a letter denouncing President Trump’s Israel-Palestine “peace” plan, and calling on European leaders both to reject any form of West Bank annexation and to act to protect international law.
The Democrat's Hawkish, Dead-End Foreign Policy Is Also Very Bad Politics
For three years, my organization, Win Without War, and others helped pro-diplomacy activists make their voices heard in Congress in support of President Obama’s diplomatic efforts with Iran. Hundreds of thousands of them had done just that — signing petitions, writing emails, making phone calls, and meeting face-to-face with their representatives and senators in Washington and their hometowns.
Unabated war and descent into chaos in Yemen – Responsible Statecraft
The internal war and outside intervention in Yemen appear to go on unabated under the neglectful eye of the Arab world and the international community. The recent armed struggle for Socotra has left the Southern Transitional Council (STC), supported by the United Arab Emirates, in charge of the island. A UNESCO-declared world heritage site, Socotra has been trampled by troops, armored trucks, and tanks, much to the detriment of its fragile ecosystem and historically peaceful population.
A proven model for human-centered international security exists. Let's use it. – Responsible Statecraft
Moments of global challenge, from world wars to pandemics, lay bare the need for course correction, especially as relates to responsible international problem-solving. The humanitarian disarmament approach is a proven model that — by concentrating on human security, rather than state security — has led to successful multilateral security agreements and practices that assist and empower vulnerable communities.
How John Bolton and Mike Pompeo thwarted Trump’s plan to get a deal with Iran – Responsible Statecraft
Former national security adviser John Bolton’s new book gives a window into President Donald Trump’s preferred style of negotiation. Bolton paints a picture of a Trump who wants deals but does not believe in conventional diplomacy. Instead, Trump approaches international relations with the real-estate market tactics he formulated in “The Art of the Deal.” Trump thought Bolton would help him in this regard. He was sorely mistaken.
It’s bad politics for Democrats to be hawkish on foreign policy – Responsible Statecraft
For three years, my organization, Win Without War, and others helped pro-diplomacy activists make their voices heard in Congress in support of President Obama’s diplomatic efforts with Iran. Hundreds of thousands of them had done just that — signing petitions, writing emails, making phone calls, and meeting face-to-face with their representatives and senators in Washington and their hometowns.
A Progressive Course Correction for U.S.-Saudi Relations
This report is part of an ongoing TCF series that offers progressive policy proposals for America’s most pressing international priorities. The time has come for a course correction in U.S.–Saudi relations. Both countries’ foreign policies are evolving amid domestic turbulence, in ways that have already strained the partnership—and set the stage for deeper changes to come.
Dismantle the War Economy
2020 began with a near-war with Iran – the deadly upshot of a bomb-first-ask-questions-later approach to world affairs. Then came a pandemic – a public health disaster made all the more lethal by our leadership’s utter indifference to the lives of the people, especially the poor and people of color. Then the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade. Three more names to the list of Black lives that didn’t matter to the state. An eruption of righteous rage.
Will the Pandemic Kill Arab Print Journalism?
The bell tolls for Arabic print news. As the COVID-19 pandemic washes over the Middle East, Arab daily newspapers suffer curfews, collapsing ad income, and bans on print publication. For newspapers that were already struggling for relevance in a media landscape shaped by authoritarian rule and rapid digitalization, the pandemic may prove the last straw.
Congress: We demand a 5-year ban on Saudi and Emirati arms sales!
To members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate: The firing of the State Inspector General for investigating the Trump administration’s possibly illegal emergency sale of $8 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia and the UAE is corruption at its worst. There must be repercussions and we cannot allow the United States to support the Saudi and Emirati-led coalition’s brutal war in Yemen any longer.
Stop war with Iran
Dear Senators and Representatives: President Trump's assassination of Qassem Soleimani, a senior Iranian military leader, is just the latest unilateral action by this administration that has brought us to the brink of war with Iran. War with Iran would fail to achieve any of its aims, launch an entire region headlong into deadly conflict, and unleash untold civilian suffering.
How the Grassroots Pushed Washington to #EndEndlessWar - Responsible Statecraft
Photo credit: Fibonacci Blue via Flickr In the spring of 2014, we realized we at Win Without War had a problem. On one hand, we knew that the American public was sick and tired of a series of seemingly endless military conflicts in the Middle East. On the other, Washington’s foreign policy consensus was as committed as ever to continuing those wars, fuming that they had so far been unable to expand them onto a new battlefield in Syria. Something would have to change.
A Return to American Restraint Begins in Syria
This report is part of an ongoing TCF series that offers progressive policy proposals for America’s most pressing international priorities. U.S. troops remain in Syria—with diminishing strategic returns and obsolete legal justification—long after fulfilling their original mandate to destroy the territorial caliphate of the Islamic State.
MoveOn members demand Congress Close the Camps
By Heather Kachel. Wednesday, July 3 2019 Every day immigrants are suffering from intentional inhumane conditions created by the Trump administration.

John Bolton, Pyromaniac
Imagine for a minute that your town needs to hire a new fire chief, and after an extensive search, they decide to hire a pyromaniac. But it’s not just that this new fire chief likes fires, he loves them, and he happens to be really, really good at starting them. And it’s not like people didn’t know this before he got the job. He had spent years talking and writing about how much he loves fires.
MoveOn’s First Endorsement of 2020 Cycle: Ilhan Omar for Congress

Representative Ilhan Omar’s endorsement for re-election marks MoveOn’s very first endorsement for the 2020 cycle. Rep. Omar is a uniquely powerful, compelling member of Congress.
