Shaping the future of national security to advance policies grounded in respect for democratic values, accountability, and human rights

[CAP NationalSecurity @CAPSecurity]

The President's conflicts of interest raises obvious ethical concerns that risk U.S national security and foreign policy. Read more from @AllisonLMcManus @amprog's latest: https://t.co/qxmzB617VS

Trump and Hegseth’s attacks on Sen. Mark Kelly send a clear warning to the American military: If you cross us, you will pay. More from @amprog's Frank Kendall in @USATODAY : https://t.co/xiIVRzXxOF

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.

Here’s my response:

4 strikes on small boats in the Caribbean. 20+ killed. No legal authority. No Congressional approval. No oversight. Trump’s strikes in the Caribbean are illegal, extrajudicial, and dragging the U.S. toward a forever war. https://t.co/6COzFfogMq

24 hours, 2 weeks, 50 days

Trump keeps letting Putin blow through the deadlines he sets without any consequences. And what does Putin get? The red carpet rolled out for him.

It’s time for Congress to act. #SanctionsNOW

As Trump doubles tariffs on Indian imports to 50%, Modi will visit China for the first time in SEVEN years. Pushing partners, allies, and competitors alike into Beijing’s arms is hardly putting 'America First'

.@HASCDemocrats Ranking Member @RepAdamSmith released the following statement in response to reports that the Trump Administration has halted delivery of weapons and support for Ukraine.

“The Administration has not consulted with Congress on this reported decision, including what else was prioritized and the trade-offs that were considered. In this context, cutting off a crucial avenue of support for Ukraine in a critical moment of their national survival is strategically and morally wrong."

@HASCDemocrats Ranking Member @RepAdamSmith
is calling out the Trump administration for halting the delivery of weapons and support to Ukraine -- without consulting Congress. This decision only serves to reward Putin and undermine U.S. national security https://t.co/YNGYTMvigs

The Trump administration’s tariffs and cuts to export programs have abandoned American exporters. Instead of opening markets, U.S. businesses face retaliation and steep disadvantages. Read more below from @amprog Senior Fellow, Ryan Mulholland: https://t.co/slj3twRhwc

President Trump is opening a migrant detention center in Florida — dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” ��� where thousands of migrants will be held amid deadly terrain. In his remarks, he joked about escapees outrunning alligators. This isn’t immigration enforcement — it’s cruelty.

Yesterday marked the official end of @USAID -- just days after @TheLancet found that the organization saved 92M lives and could cost more than 14M lives by 2030. One of the most consequential -- and devastating -- decisions by the administration to date. https://t.co/8EJ2k0cqdi

[POLITICO @politico]

DeSantis and Trump reunite at 'Alligator Alcatraz': The president came to Florida to tour a pop-up tent and trailer immigration detention center that’s expected to house thousands of detainees in the middle of the Everglades. https://t.co/mPPLp2Tri4

By joining Israel’s war against Iran, the U.S. just made a long-term solution to the conflict in the Middle East less viable. @amprog Senior Fellow @AndrwPMiller explains for @ForeignAffairs: https://t.co/6SPSyuyvZU

The Trump administration’s flagrant use of the National Guard against protesters reflects America’s real law-and-order problem @amprog's @damianfmurphy explains for @InsideSourcesDC : https://t.co/UV63Pg3oxS

Ahead of the G7 summit, @amprog lays out 5 urgent global priorities -- from Ukraine to Gaza to climate. With U.S. leadership absent, and the administration's disruptive actions, G7 countries must step up to the challenge and address global priorities: https://t.co/1J2BBohc0W

Trump's plan to 'aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students' fails to see that the US thrives—and depends—on foreign talent. Targeting students for their nationality is xenophobic and is another self-imposed hit to US global competitiveness and image.

News: Schumer just put out a hotline on his Qatari plane bill. Could try to UC it today

@amprog latest: Trump’s national security nominees have pushed conspiracy theories, embraced extremism, and jeopardized U.S. security. This puts Americans at risk!
Congress must reject these dangerous picks:
🔹 Joe Kent
🔹 Anthony Tata
🔹 Matthew Lohmeier
