I’m about to question Secretary Hegseth on Trump’s war of choice in Iran — which has been a disaster at every turn. He owes our troops and the American people answers.

Secretary Hegseth made it clear that he’s more concerned with media optics than the deaths of six U.S. service members.  It’s disgusting.   Our troops deserve leadership that puts their lives and service first.

This administration has entered a war of choice in the Middle East without clear strategic objectives, even as its actions risk driving our global competitors closer together.  These choices risk destabilizing the region and undermining America’s long-term national security interests.

It’s been a busy few weeks in Washington and back home in Virginia. Here’s the recap, brought to you by our hardworking Vinterns.

Congress must get back to work and put a check on this rogue president.   Speaker Johnson needs to call the House back into session to pass a War Powers Resolution and rein in Trump's reckless impulses.    More with Laura Coates👇

In military operations, a few hours can mean the difference between mission success and catastrophe.  When someone with insider knowledge bets on military operations before they occur, they're putting the entire mission — and our U.S. service members — at risk.

It’s clear that Secretary Hegseth cares more about protecting the president’s image than our soldiers.    He must resign. Our troops deserve better.

There are still Americans stranded in the Middle East. The Trump administration must make it an immediate priority to bring them home safely and without delay. If you or a loved one are stuck overseas, visit 🖥️ travel.state.gov or call ☎️ +1 (202) 501-4444

Across Virginia, farmers are experiencing significant crop damage due to inclement weather and rising costs driven by Trump's trade war.  Today in a House Ag Committee hearing, Sec. Rollins committed to issuing a Secretarial Disaster Designation for Virginia, and I expect her to follow through.

It was an honor to recognize Frank W. Harris III on the U.S. House Floor as my “Constituent of the Week.”  A United States Marine Corps Colonel, his life of service spans three conflicts in our nation’s history, World War II, Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Thank you for your service, Colonel.
