.@SecWar: "President Trump said we're not fighting stupid wars like [Iraq and Afghanistan] again, and he hasn't. That's why we haven't been trying to remake Iranian society, but simply, in a realist, America First way, ensure they never have a path to a nuclear bomb—full stop."
.@SecWar: Under Biden, there were five supplemental requests for Ukraine. Almost every member of the Senate made those urgent priorities.
@SenKatieBritt: Wouldn't you say it would be urgent for our men and women in uniform right now to have what they need?
@SecWar: I would argue providing for American men and women, as opposed to Ukrainian men and women, is higher priority.
.@SECWAR “The supplemental request serves two purposes: sustain our military readiness to meet this year’s new demands; and accelerate critical capabilities to replace and augment those we have used in contingencies...
On the readiness front, we requested $21 billion dollars. This will fund military pay, replace equipment utilized during recent operations, sustain forward-deployed forces, and grow personnel end strength while stabilizing mission critical fuel shortfalls and supporting the National Guard.
On the capabilities side, we requested $46 billion dollars. These funds will expand production lines and accelerate delivery of high-demand munitions. We are talking about – solid rocket motors, JADM, hypersonics, and counter-drone capabilities. Additionally, we will use this investment to secure digital and space dominance, including resilient satellite networks.”
The estimated $200 billion we’ve spent on the war in Iran could have paid for everyone on Medicare to get free dental, vision, and hearing care for six years. It could have paid for a check to every American household for $1,500. It could do school lunches for all kids for 18 years.
We are back in a full scale war, and it’s important we understand its consequences.
Worldwide Caution: Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation.
Americans currently in the Middle East should exercise caution and heightened vigilance and should be prepared for possible flight cancellations, periodic airspace closures, and potential travel disruptions. Please monitor embassy and consular security alerts, local authorities, and the news for breaking developments. Americans outside the Middle East should reconsider travel to and through the region.
U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Iran and groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout the world.

I am heartbroken by the loss of three American service members killed this weekend.
Enough is enough. Congress must act now to stop Trump's reckless escalation, and put the safety of our troops first.

The Trump Presidency—all cons.
The product changes. The con stays the same.
You pay, Trump profits.
The United States gives billions of dollars in weapons and training to foreign militaries every year. I just introduced a bill to make sure that it goes to militaries that respect human rights, follow the law, and aren’t corrupt.
The American people do not want another forever war in the Middle East.
We need a clear strategy, a defined objective, and the discipline to decide whether we are finishing the mission or bringing it to an end.
For more than six decades, the Cuban regime has been the leading sponsor of radical leftism and Third Worldism in the United States.
The State Department is exposing the full history of Cuban espionage and subversion in our country.
The American people deserve to know. https://t.co/ulHF9qiDTY

My prayers are with our troops killed and missing in action. May God bring comfort to their families.
President Trump is right to unleash hell on their killers. Additional strikes will protect Americans and weaken Iran’s ability to hold the Strait hostage.
Today at 6 p.m. ET, U.S. forces began launching new airstrikes against Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction. The strikes are designed to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces who launched attacks against American service members in Jordan last night.
Worldwide Caution: Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation. We remind Americans in the region of the continued need for caution and encourage them to monitor the news for breaking developments. The Department of State advises Americans worldwide, and especially in the Middle East, to exercise increased caution. Americans abroad should follow the guidance in security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Flight cancellations and periodic airspace closures may cause travel disruptions. U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world.
