Read my full statement on the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites below.

“It is Congress’ Constitutional responsibility to debate and approve any use of military force. This is why I called on Speaker Johnson last week to reconvene the U.S. House of Representatives, and I am calling on him once again to call us back into session now. Members must be briefed immediately on the evolving situation in the Middle East so we can fulfill our Constitutional responsibilities.”

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.
Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

NYT reports an air traffic controller’s seat was empty at DCA last night www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was "not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic," according to an internal preliminary Federal Aviation
Administration safety report about the collision that was reviewed by The New York Times.
The controller who was handling helicopters in the airport's vicinity
Wednesday night was also instructing planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, rather than one.
