Service members shouldn’t be forced to turn to private companies like Starbucks to get fertility care covered by insurance. That’s why I’ve fought for years to change this. My Bipartisan IVF for Military Families Act has passed the House two years in a row and I will keep fighting for it.

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

I just led a moment of silence on the House Floor to honor Amin Abdullah, Abul Izz Kazhia, and Nader Awad, who were murdered at the Islamic Center of San Diego. In their memory, we need to come together and respond to hatred with love, compassion, understanding, and community.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Rep. Sara Jacobs tells Pete Hegseth he may have MENTAL PROBLEMS if he thinks they are winning then war:

“If you think that this is what winning looks like, then maybe we should be questioning your mental stability.”

BOOM.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Hegseth running into trouble early in today’s hearing

Hegseth: Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated.

Smith: You said we had to start this war because the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat. Now you’re saying it was completely obliterated?

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

I’m voting yes RIGHT NOW to stop Donald Trump’s war in Iran.

[Pat Ryan 🇺🇸 @PatRyanUC]

I am against this war BECAUSE I love & support our troops. 

Sending them into harm’s way without a broader strategic plan is a betrayal of their service. 

They trust us – and honoring that trust means asking the hard questions.

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

175 civilians – mostly little girls – at a school in Iran had nothing to do with this awful war. It looks like the U.S. was responsible for their deaths, and if so, this Admin must take accountability. I’m proud to lead 121 House Dems in demanding answers.

JACOBS: Are we at war with Iran?

COLBY: We're in a military action

JACOBS: Yesterday, Trump said 'we're doing very well on the war front' and previously he said, 'we should expect casualties because that often happens in war.' So is he wrong?

COLBY: I'm not the right person to weigh in

[Acyn @Acyn]

McGovern: Republicans can't answer because they were against war with Iran until exactly the second Donald Trump decided to go to war, and now they're all running around sounding like neocon lunatics. 

America can't take this level of gaslighting. I went to the classified briefing. There was no imminent threat, I guess, unless Republicans want to redefine the word imminent to mean stretching back 47 years. 

This whole thing is just so transparently built on lies. Republicans went from imminent threat to regime change to nukes, back to imminent threat in the last 24 hours. This is Iraq 2.0. I still remember the lies about WMDs. I voted against that war, too. At least George Bush had the decency to lie to people's face.

It's not Donald Trump's kids that will have to go fight and die for their draft dodging dad. It's not the children of of the billionaire Epstein class. It's working class kids who are going to put their lives on the line. Shame on Republicans. I'm sick of this bs. We're spending billions of dollars a day on a war, and we can't even get Republicans to join us to expand health care in America.

How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

Here’s the reality that Pete Hegseth is minimizing: we lost 6 service members. When you make stupid, short-sighted decisions about war like this, it's my constituents in San Diego who are the ones sent into harm’s way to potentially die. We owe it to them to debate and stop this.

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

Secretary Rubio says the quiet part out loud: this is an unnecessary war of choice. Israel forced our hand – there was no imminent threat to the United States. And instead of talking Israel out of going to war, President Trump went along with it and put U.S. lives at risk.

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

Rep. Jason Crow on the president warning Americans could die: "How amazing of Donald Trump to say, you know, that often happens in war. And that's a cost he's willing to take. Great for him. It's not his kids. It's not his family. It's not his billionaire donors who are having to go off and do it."

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

Speaker Johnson owes Lydia and many more military families an apology — for stealing their dream to build a family through IVF. This is one of my reasons why I will vote no on the final NDAA.

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

Speaker Johnson just stole the opportunity for our service members to build their families through IVF. I know this is devastating news but I will never stop fighting to expand IVF.

[Congressman Chris Deluzio @RepDeluzio]

A joint statement from me, @SenatorSlotkin, @SenMarkKelly, @RepJasonCrow, @RepGoodlander, and @RepHoulahan.

[Connor O'Brien @connorobrienNH]

Me in two weeks when I read a headline that calls the NDAA a ‘defense spending bill’

[Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw]

"At the Pentagon, some military lawyers, including ... within DoD’s Office of General Counsel, have raised concerns about the legality of the lethal strikes on suspected drug traffickers....

Multiple current and former JAGs ... told CNN that the strikes do not appear lawful."

[Connor O'Brien @connorobrienNH]

NEW: House Dem veterans condemned Trump's speech yesterday endorsing using American cities as “training grounds.”

Trump is “threatening something so deeply un-American it may break the fabric of our democracy," they wrote in a letter led by Rep. Pat Ryan. https://t.co/Hcr4le7HQL

Nancy Mace erupts and starts screaming after Sara Jacobs says many people in Congress have received gender affirming care:

Jacobs: Boob jobs is gender affirming care. Botox is gender affirming care…

Mace: *screaming*

[Natasha Bertrand @NatashaBertrand]

"At least 105 members of the deployment sought counseling from behavioral health officers, and at least one company commander and one battalion commander who objected to the mission were reassigned to work unrelated to the mobilization, the Guard officers said. Some troops became so disgruntled that there were several reports of soldiers defecating in Humvees and showers at the Southern California base where the troops are stationed, prompting tightened bathroom security."
