The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.
We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.
When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.
In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.
Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.
If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

BREAKING: Trump says that Every American, who isn't a High Income earner, will get $2000 in Cash.
In other words he wants to issue a stimulus check because the economy is sucking.
In other words he wants to increase our deficit by $650 BILLION.
In other words, he wants to do the same thing that he claimed Biden did, that caused inflation.
Donald Trump gave $40 billion to Argentina but is APPEALING A COURT ORDER to feed AMERICANS in need.
The fact that this isn't the LEAD STORY today and everyday speaks volumes of where Presidential media coverage is in 2025.
This Trump 60 Minutes interview has been a total disaster. He can’t answer questions on his blatant corruption, he sounds clueless on foreign policy, and he continues to defend his tariffs which are hurting Americans. Trump is a complete failure.

Taxation without representation!
Over 700,000 are without representation in Congresswoman Grijalva’s district due to the fact that Mike Johnson will not seat her!
