Let’s not forget the administration is still in violation of the War Powers Act and the Constitution. The fact that we are in this prisoners’ dilemma and our service members are in harm’s way sits at the steps of the @WhiteHouse.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces began launching self-defense strikes against Iran at 5 p.m. ET today at the Commander in Chief’s direction, in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter. The mission is a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.
More alarming reports emerging about the nation's largest ICE detention facility, Camp East Montana, located in my hometown, El Paso, TX.
Read on for some of the shocking details from the GAO report that was published today [THREAD]

WATCH: @Morning_Joe discusses POGO Investigates' recent look into donation from top ICE detention contractor to a group tied to Rep. Jim Jordan.
The twist? It's an accident that we know about this $$ at all.

Huge news!
We're so excited that the House Armed Services Committee adopted the #RightToRepair amendment last night.
Thank you @RepGoodlander and @RepPatHarrigan, who led the fight for this essential provision to empower service members and save taxpayer dollars.
Wow - Cassidy signs onto brief stating, in part: "The Anti-Weaponization Fund presents an immediate and dire threat to our constitutional order and the authority of Congress. Indeed, among other purposes, the Fund is designed to compensate the insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. The existence of the Fund strikes at the core of Congressional authority and our Constitutional order"
The Department of War, which already has a $1 trillion budget, requesting $50 billion more for [checks notes] war, is like Netflix charging you extra if you actually watch Netflix.
This is what congressional oversight looks like when it's working. Members of both parties asked tough questions — and they did it because people spoke up. That matters.
Public pressure works. We're glad Kristi Noem is out as DHS Secretary after she consistently violated her oath to uphold the Constitution.
But the fight isn't over. We hope Congress ensures that her replacement does not commit the same abuses she did. https://t.co/yrA8XjnWVj
Every time a president sidesteps Congress on war, we normalize it.
And every time Congress shrugs, we drift further from democracy.
The system only works if we make it work.#WarPowers

"Judges have cast doubt on the validity of some of the cases prosecuted among the wave of DHS’s Section 111 referrals, criticizing federal prosecutors’ approach to ushering them through the courts and the number of cases they’ve ultimately had to dismiss." https://t.co/RzWPFJlKMN
P.S. When you hear the president talk about seizing drugs at the border, make sure to get the facts. Our investigation found that migrant drug seizures by Border Patrol are incredibly rare: https://t.co/bEuHjwZLVH
This administration’s repeated illegal military actions are completely unconstitutional and strike a serious blow to our democratic system. Congress cannot continue to allow the executive branch to exercise unilateral power.
Tonight, the president tried to defend his first year back in office. But this speech was full of justifications for the administration’s authoritarian actions. We see through it, and we won’t stop fighting for real accountability.
We’re deeply concerned about the allegations brought forward by this brave whistleblower. ICE expanding its operations at the same time as it is offering deficient trainings is dangerous. https://t.co/idYXAhZQQ6
We cannot listen to Donald Trump tout the “success” of his anti-immigrant campaign. People have been killed in the streets, families have been torn apart, and the constitution has been violated time and time again.
The president is right that we need to ban Congressional Stock Trading, but we need Congress to rally behind the Restore Trust in Congress Act.
The Stop Insider Trading Act bill President Trump referenced is too weak. https://t.co/gWxq8V182B
