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.

It was great to join the @ReaganInstitute’s National Security Innovation Base Summit last week! I appreciated the forum to discuss how the United States can supercharge our defense industrial base, defend our democratic values, and maintain interoperability with our allies.

The U.S. House passed my bipartisan bill to help more Americans afford a place to live. By cutting red tape and speeding up responsible development, this bill lowers costs, expands housing options, and helps keep the door to homeownership open.

I enjoyed meeting with members of VFW Post 12202 in King George to discuss the issues affecting our veterans. As a 25-year Army veteran and member of the House Armed Services Committee, I understand how important it is to ensure veterans receive the care, resources, and respect they’ve earned through their service.

I'm ready to fund @FEMA, @TSA, and @USCG, but I refuse to provide another dime to ICE until the admin makes commonsense reforms. That's why I signed @RosaDelauro's petition to force a vote to pay Virginia's federal workers without signing a blank check for ICE.

Rosa DeLauro@rosadelauro

If Republicans know negotiations remain ongoing and if they truly cared about shutdown impacts, they’d move with Democrats to fund FEMA, TSA, cybersecurity, Secret Service & Coast Guard. My bill does that while keeping ICE & CBP negotiations separate.

Farmers in Virginia and across the country could see spring planting disrupted as the war in Iran drives up fertilizer costs. When it costs more to grow food, it costs more to buy food. First, it was your gas prices. Now it’s your grocery bill. What happened to making life more affordable for hardworking Americans? reuters.com/business/iran-…

Under the cover of night, the January 6 plaque was finally installed in the U.S. Capitol. But instead of placing it where the public can see it, it was tucked away in a basement area that isn’t accessible. It was clear then and it’s clear now: @SpeakerJohnson would rather this day be forgotten. The brave men and women who defended the Capitol deserve recognition in a place worthy of their courage.

I visited James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg to meet with Superintendent Catlett and Principal Petty to discuss how we can continue supporting students, teachers, and families. I also stopped by several history classes to hear directly from students about the issues that matter most to them. Their insight and curiosity were impressive!

It was wonderful to stop by Gardening Gays Farms in King George to present Dragan and Kevin with a Congressional Record honoring their farm as a staple in our community. As the only Virginian on the Agriculture Committee, I’m especially grateful to producers like Dragan and Kevin, whose dedication and hard work strengthen our local agriculture economy.

Since I was sworn in, I’ve been fighting every day to improve our military’s FPV/PBAS drone capabilities and protect our troops with better C-UAS. We’ve seen videos like this one for years out of Ukraine, but now we’re seeing them over our bases and installations. I’m hopeful my colleagues will join me in ensuring our troops have the same kinds of capabilities — especially fiber optic — along with the means to stop them.

OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical

An Iranian-backed militia successfully used a (likely fiber optic) FPV drone to carry out a reconnaissance mission through the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad yesterday. Seen here, the drone flies unchallenged through the embassy complex for nearly two minutes.

Secretary Hegseth's declaration that the U.S. war on Iran would feature “no quarter" and "no mercy for our enemies” is a violation of international law. Yesterday, I pressed the leader of U.S. Southern Command about whether similar orders had been given during @SecWar's boat strikes off South America. defenseone.com/threats/2026/0…

Gas prices have jumped nearly 80 cents in just the past month due to Trump's war of choice with Iran. Have you noticed a rise in gas prices near you? Take my survey here👇 forms.office.com/g/1D810wdB2k

Last month, I was honored to join the Loving family to celebrate the Bowling Green Courthouse being added to the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. It was in this very courtroom that Mildred and Richard Loving were convicted for marrying across racial lines — a case that ultimately led to the Supreme Court affirming that the freedom to marry is a fundamental right. It was a privilege to join the family in marking this historic moment.

The historic Tacketts Mill — home to my Woodbridge District Office — was the perfect setting for my “Get to Know Your Neighbors” tour. I visited the Prince William Conservation Alliance to learn more about their work protecting our region’s natural resources, then joined Supervisor Kenny Boddye to visit Literacy Volunteers of America and Forever Yours LLC to see firsthand the services and small businesses supporting the community. I wrapped up the tour at Hector’s, a longtime staple of Tacketts Mill.

Trump’s top counterterrorism official just resigned, saying there was no justification for war with Iran. Joe Kent and I don’t agree on much — but we agree on this: the United States should not send more Americans to die in Trump’s war of choice.

Joe Kent@joekent16jan19

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

It’s always a pleasure to visit Neabsco Baptist Church. I had the honor of presenting a Congressional Record commending their weekly Community Food Giveaway Program. This program provides meals to neighbors in need and reflects the compassion and generosity that strengthen our community.

Last week, I joined @SenTimKaine and Supervisor Andrea Bailey for a tour of the Prince William County Crisis Receiving Center. This 24/7 facility provides intensive services for those experiencing mental health and substance use disorder emergencies. I’m thankful for the important work this facility is doing on behalf of our neighbors.

Let's be clear — an order to give "no quarter" means to take no prisoners and execute soldiers who try to surrender. It is a violation of the law of war and the Geneva Conventions. As a former Army JAG who trained soldiers on the law of war, it is clear that @SecWar must go.
