The most important #natsec lessons to take from the September 11 attacks and the US response are about people.
Our staff each offer insights into what that day meant for our work in national security now.

Thanks for the chance to re-up (and update) our graphic, Newt Gingrich! Let us know if we can make this any clearer.

Over 250 organizations have joined our letter demanding no additional funding for Trump's war of choice on Iran.
The additional $50 BILLION the Trump admin has requested would be enough to restore SNAP for 4 million Americans.
Congress must refuse funding for this illegal war.

“...this day of action was just an initial step. All of us have a role to play to ensure decision makers are clear-eyed about the risks of nuclear war and their ability to do something about it.” ~ Connor Murray,

HAPPENING NOW: Special Order speeches on Nuclear Dangers on the House Floor organized by @RepMcGovern. Going to try to pick out some key quotes, but you can follow along at live.house.gov/

I am thrilled to have earned the endorsement of so many incredible organizations!
Together, we are working to ensure the people of Pennsylvania have the opportunity to prosper with dignity. (2/2)

HAPPENING NOW: Bipartisan RECA Press Conference.
The Senate did its part. Today, we continue to demand that @SpeakerJohnson let us vote.
I’m standing with my colleagues today to demand @SpeakerJohnson bring RECA for a vote. We must give victims of radiation exposure the compensation they are owed. They CANNOT wait any longer. xitter.gq/i/broadcasts/1MYxNMBlL…

Sadly an expected result here on the Sentinel. Congress needs to step in and exercise oversight. 81% is an unacceptable increase to then just say "let's keep this thing rolling." 🧵
🚨 The Pentagon has certified that the Sentinel ICBM program will continue, despite being 81% overbudget and 2-3 years behind schedule.
DOD: "There are no alternatives [...] to meet the requirements at less cost."
This depends on your cost benchmarks. 🧵

Speaker Johnson's inaction means RECA will expire on Monday. But the fight is NOT over yet.
As we continue bipartisan negotiations for RECA expansion/extension, the DOJ RECA office will accept new claims postmarked by 6/10 and continue operating until all claims are answered.

🚨ENDORSEMENT🚨
I’m proud to have earned @Livableworld's support. As a former national security official, I’ll be ready Day 1 as Senator to continue working together to meet global challenges and make the world safer from threats from nuclear weapons and rising authoritarianism.
We are excited to support Rep. @AndyKimNJ in his Senate campaign! He:
✅ is a trusted voice on national security among his colleagues
✅ voted against unnecessary nuclear warheads
✅ prioritizes de-escalation over reckless spending and militarism (1/2)

Must read from @Cirincione and @JohnIsaacs67 on the success of #chemical weapons ban and the lessons for #nuclear weapons. With chem and bio weapons banned by global treaty, "we could adopt a similar goal for nuclear arsenals." wapo.st/3RON0xj

Thank you for the endorsement from @Livableworld. I am so grateful for your support, and excited to bring this work to the Senate.

✅ is concerned about waste and fraud in Pentagon spending
✅ sits on the House Cmte on Energy and Commerce (1/2)

Americans poisoned by our government’s nuclear tests & waste are set to lose the lifesaving help they’ve relied on for over 30 years. RECA must be reauthorized in this NDAA before it expires in just a few months. Thousands of radiation victims depend on this program to survive

I saw the horrors of war up close in Iraq, so I’m committed to reducing the risk of conflict and building a safer world for our kids.
Proud to have @Livableworld on Team Gallego.

Media reporting that assistance to Ukraine under siege in Congress totally wrong. House votes today: Biggs (R-AZ) amendment to cut all $300 million Ukraine security assistance lost 104-339. Gaetz (R-fL) to prohibit any security assistance to Ukraine lost 93-339.

U.S. Is Destroying the Last of Its Once-Vast Chemical Weapons Arsenal. An entire class of weapons of mass destruction on verge of destruction in U.S. & most of the world. It took decades and was expensive -- as would a campaign to destroy nuclear weapons. bit.ly/3pFN6go

“The United States should prepare for major competition with China, both politically and economically. But it appears that too many US policymakers prefer confrontation, even at the risk of a military conflict,” warns @JohnIsaacs67. inkstickmedia.com/biden-is-c…

You can’t shortchange the Hanford cleanup or the workers who power that operation. I'm glad @POTUS heard me loud & clear & made this a priority in his proposed budget. As @SenateApprops Chair, I'll fight to ensure Hanford gets the full funding it needs. nbcrightnow.com/news/biden-p…
