Former Army JAG here. No quarter orders are a violation of the law of war and Geneva conventions. This is the same order reportedly given during the Caribbean boat strikes. @SecWar is establishing a pattern of issuing illegal orders. I’ve trained hundreds of soldiers on the law of war — our service members have an obligation to follow that law.

Hegseth: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can't stop. More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the strait of hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.

The Loving v. Virginia decision changed the course of American history — striking down laws that banned interracial marriage and affirming the fundamental right to marry the person you love. Today, on the anniversary of this landmark ruling, we honor Richard and Mildred Loving’s courage and determination. Their fight for justice helped expand civil rights and secure the freedom to marry for generations to come.
Today, the historic Bowling Green courtroom — where Mildred Loving and Richard Loving were once convicted for marrying across racial lines — was added to the U.S. Civil Rights Trail.  I was honored to join the Loving family to celebrate this historic moment in history.    What happened in that courtroom changed the country. The Lovings took their case to the Supreme Court, which affirmed that the freedom to marry is a fundamental right — and that government cannot deny it based on race. (1/2)

Access to contraception should be a decision made by women and their doctors — not the government. That’s why I signed @RepFletcher’s discharge petition to force a House vote on the Right to Contraception Act to protect access to birth control. As a member of @ReproCaucus, I won’t stop fighting until reproductive freedom is a reality for all.
Six decades of progress for birth control rights and access, yet the right to contraception is still not signed into law. The House passed this critical bill in 2022, and House Democrats are demanding we pass it again. Republican colleagues: join us and stand with the people.

Last week, the House Armed Services Committee marked up the National Defense Authorization Act. I was proud to support an NDAA that: ✅ Includes a pay raise for our troops ✅ Strengthens our national defense ✅ Lowers costs for military families Read more about how I fought for our warfighters and their families 👇 fxbgadvance.com/p/more-money…

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month. Today, I stood in solidarity with my @HouseDemocrats colleagues to honor the lives lost to gun violence and support survivors, families, and communities across our nation. As a member of @HouseGVP, I'm working to pass bipartisan, commonsense solutions to fight the gun violence epidemic plaguing communities across the country.

I heard from more than 800 Virginians who are struggling to make ends meet. Their message was clear: costs are too high. That’s why I’m fighting for commonsense policies that would bring down utility bills and make life more affordable for families across the Commonwealth.

I served 25 years in the Army. I’ve seen firsthand how critical every second can be in military operations. Placing bets on national security matters using insider knowledge risks tipping off our adversaries and putting American troops in harm’s way. That’s why I told CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig that we need clear guardrails to ensure these markets cannot be exploited at the expense of our service members and our national security.

Inflation soared over 4% last month — the highest it’s been in years.

This comes under the same administration that promised to lower the cost of living for working families.

Instead, Americans are paying more, and the cost is being felt at kitchen tables across the country. washingtonpost.com/business/…

Today we recognize the anniversary of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, a landmark step toward guaranteeing equal pay for equal work. 
 
While progress has been made, the fight for equal pay continues. 
 
My @Labor_Caucus colleagues and I remain committed to fostering fairness, opportunity, and transparency for all employees.

Trump’s chaos, cruelty, and corruption have left Virginia families feeling squeezed.  That’s why I’m leading legislation to temporarily pause the federal diesel tax and provide much-needed relief for families, workers, and small businesses facing higher costs.  Virginians deserve leaders who will lower costs and put working families first — not make life more expensive.

Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer is now his acting Attorney General.    Read that again.    The lawyer whose job was defending Trump in criminal court could soon be running the Department of Justice.  What a joke.
NEW: The Senate has formally received President Trump's nomination of Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general, teeing off what could be a potentially contentious confirmation battle. Read more: abcnews.link/3KTEUNH

🎉 NEW GRANT ALERT!  I’m proud to have helped secure $207,564 for Mary Washington Healthcare’s Ryan White Title III Outpatient EIS Program.  The program provides HIV-related medical care and support services for individuals living with HIV/AIDS, as well as early intervention services for people at risk of HIV infection. I’m grateful for the critical work Mary Washington Healthcare is doing to support Virginians.

I’ve heard from more than 800 Virginians who are feeling the squeeze of rising utility costs and struggling to make ends meet. That’s why I introduced two pieces of legislation to lower costs for families and hold utility companies accountable. It’s time to put consumers first and ensure Virginia families get the relief they deserve.

Another win in this year's NDAA. My effort to combat transnational criminal organizations that target Americans with sophisticated scams was included in the package that just advanced out of committee. Protecting Americans from fraud and exploitation is a national security issue, and I'm proud to see this effort move forward.
