Former Army JAG here. No quarter orders are a violation of the law of war and Geneva conventions. This is the same order reportedly given during the Caribbean boat strikes. @SecWar is establishing a pattern of issuing illegal orders. I’ve trained hundreds of soldiers on the law of war — our service members have an obligation to follow that law.
Hegseth: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can't stop. More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the strait of hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.

Today is World Diabetes Day, a reminder of the millions of Americans living with diabetes and the importance of accessible, affordable care. No American should have to choose between managing their health and paying their bills. I'll keep fighting to lower prescription drug costs and make health care more affordable.

The proposed NextEra-Dominion merger threatens to drive up utility costs for Virginia families and businesses for decades to come.  That’s why I joined my Democratic colleagues from Virginia in sending a letter opposing the proposed acquisition. Ratepayers deserve affordable, reliable energy, and I’ll keep fighting to put them first. cbs19news.com/news/vindman-o…

Trump wants to kick 6.3 MILLION more Americans off SNAP. You read that right. As if this administration hasn’t already done enough to hurt working families, it’s pushing to strip food assistance from Americans who depend on it to put food on the table. We need to fight back against these cruel cuts and protect the families who rely on this critical lifeline. abcnews.com/Politics/trump-a…

Congratulations to Betty Hume, a Fredericksburg resident and 1971 graduate of the University of Mary Washington, on an impressive second-place finish on Jeopardy after competing in three games!

It was great to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating Patient First opening its second location in Fredericksburg. This new location expands access to convenient, high-quality urgent and primary care 365 days a year. Congratulations to the entire Patient First team on this exciting milestone and thank you to the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce for hosting this event!

It was great to join @RepMarkTakano, @RepDeluzio, and some of our incoming Democrat veteran members on Veterans Day!   As a veteran, I know how important it is to have leaders in Congress who understand the needs of those who serve and the families who stand behind them.   I look forward to working alongside these Members-elect to end this reckless war in Iran, hold Secretary Hegseth accountable, and stand with our veterans, service members, and military families.

This Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country.  But recognizing their service means making sure we're delivering for them long after they hang up their uniforms. That's why I'm proud to lead the bipartisan MISSION Rx Act to lower prescription drug costs for veterans, service members, and military families. Our veterans have kept their promise to this country. It's time we keep ours.

Today, I joined my colleagues on the steps of the U.S. House of Representatives to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served our nation in uniform. We owe our veterans a debt of gratitude that can never fully be repaid. I will always fight for them in Congress.

It was great to welcome the newest members of Virginia’s congressional delegation to Capitol Hill today! I look forward to working alongside them to lower costs for Virginia families and make sure our Commonwealth’s voice is heard in Congress.

Last month, I spoke with students at Mary G. Porter Traditional School during their career day. I enjoyed connecting with students, answering their questions about my job in Congress, and hearing about their interests and aspirations. I hope our conversation encouraged them to dream big and explore all of the possibilities ahead of them!

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have worn our nation's uniform and answered the call to serve. As a 25-year Army veteran, I know firsthand the sacrifices that come with military service, both for those who serve and the families who stand beside them. To my fellow veterans, thank you for your service. I'll never stop fighting to ensure our nation keeps its promises to you. Happy Veterans Day!

After the first six American service members were killed in Iran, I stood at Dover Air Force Base and watched their flag-draped caskets return home.   I will never forget that sight.   And I will never accept the idea that those entrusted with the lives of our troops can repeatedly fail them without facing consequences.

BREAKING: House Republicans just voted to refer an effort to impeach Pete Hegseth to committee, effectively killing it.

His staggering lack of judgment and repeated failures have endangered our service members, undermined our national security, and cost this country dearly.   Our troops deserve leadership worthy of their service and sacrifice, and Hegseth has failed them at every turn. (3/4)

He should have been removed from his post long ago. That is why today, I voted to impeach him. And if this Congress refuses to hold him accountable, the next one must. (4/4)

Just putting this back on your timeline...
I asked Secretary Hegseth some military 101 questions. He flunked. America’s service members deserve better than this pop quiz dropout.

The American people have spoken, and they’ve had enough. They’re sick of Pete Hegseth’s incompetence, and they’re ready for steady leadership. On January 3rd, Democrats are taking the watch with a mandate to end the Iran war, bring down costs, and pink slip Pete Hegseth.

Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! For more than two centuries, Marines have answered the call to serve, defending our freedoms and protecting our nation with courage, honor, and unwavering dedication. Semper Fi!
251 Years at the Tip of the Spear For 251 years, Marines have met every fight with resolve, precision, and an ethos that never wavers. The first to fight and the last to yield. America sleeps well because Marines stand the watch. Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fidelis. (Narrated by @netflix @mosquitobowl Director Peter Berg) 🎥(U.S. Marine Corps video by Staff Sgt. Patrick Katz)

Last week, I visited Riverbend High School in Fredericksburg to meet with members of their Leaders 4 Change Club. I have no doubt these young leaders have bright futures ahead of them and will continue to make a positive impact in their school and community. Thank you for the warm welcome and for taking the time to share your ideas and aspirations with me.
