Both chambers of Congress just voted to rein in Trump’s illegal war with Iran. He must follow the Constitution, respect the War Powers Resolution, and end this unauthorized conflict.

BREAKING: The Senate, including 4 Republicans, just voted to pass a War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran. The House and the Senate have both stood up. It’s time to stop this deadly and costly conflict.

ICE spent over $1 billion buying 11 warehouses to cage human beings. Now it’s quietly trying to sell or give away seven of them, more than $700 million gone, with not a single facility open and an inspector general investigation hanging over the whole mess. This is the waste they swore they were elected to root out. The fraud, the abuse, the blank check spent without a plan. They bought industrial buildings at up to $145 million apiece, before renovations, with no environmental review, no community buy-in, and no real strategy for what came next. Even Republican officials told them to stop. Taxpayers are left holding the bill for warehouses that detained no one and accomplished nothing but fear. It’s total hypocrisy. An administration that lectured the country about efficiency lit $700 million on fire as part of Stephen Miller’s cruel fantasy of mass detention. Imagine what that money could have done for veterans waiting on housing, for families crushed by costs, for the working people they claim to serve. I’m glad this plan is dying. It was inhumane from the first day, designed to warehouse people far from the rule of law and basic decency. But being glad it failed does not erase how it failed, recklessly and expensively. We must have full accountability for the officials who pushed it. nytimes.com/2026/06/18/us/…

On March 11, President Trump said “In the first hour it ⁠was over.” But over 2500 hours later, the conflict is still raging. The world needs peace, but I remain concerned that such an opaque diplomatic process has been undertaken and very few details are available. Congress must exercise oversight on any accord with Iran.

The Iran deal was signed on Sunday. The fact that the trump Administration hasn’t released the deal language and instead is having @JDVance try to spin the deal in advance tells you all you need to know.
The Tennessee Holler@TheTNHoller

JD Vance admits Iran gets $300 BILLION+ in Trump’s “deal” Hey remember when they attacked Obama for unfreezing a fraction of that to avoid the costly deadly war Trump just got us into? (H/T @FurkanGozukara)

ICE is blocking Congress from doing its job, and they keep finding new ways to do it. Republicans have gutted all internal oversight under the second Trump Administration. Congress is the only check left, and the Trump Administration is doing everything it can to make that check meaningless. The day @RepSaraJacobs and I showed up unannounced at Otay Mesa, they instituted a new policy making it harder for us to speak to detainees. We need more oversight, not less, and I’m not going to stop until we have it.

Donald Trump called childcare and healthcare "little scams" that cost too much to fund, but is willing to spend $300m in taxpayer dollars for a ballroom to host his lavish parties. When he said "I don't think about Americans' financial situation," he meant it.

Stephen Miller wants to flip a switch and erase one of your oldest rights. It’s called habeas corpus. Fancy words but a simple idea that the government can’t just grab you and lock you away. It has to prove to a judge why you’re behind bars. That right is 800 years old. It’s older than America itself. And Miller tried to kill it. New reporting confirms it. Inside the White House, Miller pushed to suspend habeas corpus so agents could seize people, detain them, and deport them with no judge, no hearing, no chance to say “you’ve got the wrong guy.” Even Trump’s own lawyers put in writing that this is illegal. Miller pushed anyway. Miller screams “invasion” because the Constitution only allows this sort of thing during an invasion. But this same crowd brags every day that border crossings hit record lows. So which is it? The right to challenge your own detention is the line between a republic and a regime. Lose it, and the government can disappear anyone. I will fight this with everything I have. The Constitution is not optional. Not for Stephen Miller. Not for anyone. nytimes.com/2026/06/15/us/…

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month, and that’s why I’m proud to #WearOrange and stand with my colleagues against this epidemic in our country. We can start by taking steps to pass concrete legislation like @RepLucyMcBath’s GOSAFE Act to ban dangerous gas-powered assault weapons and keep our communities safe.
