Just leaving this briefing from the Trump Admin on the war in Iran. My main question is: have you read the Constitution?
Because, this Administration provided no viable legal theory for why they acted unilaterally.

We’re back in D.C. and back with an update on the week. From the Middle East and the War Powers Resolution to the latest on the Oversight Committee and our bill to transfer land back to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Here’s the latest. ⬇️
We are delivering for New Mexico! This budget cycle, we secured funding for new water infrastructure in Corrales, Santa Rosa, and Bernalillo. Because in New Mexico, water is life. And, I am honored every day to fight for our communities!
75 years ago, the 22nd Amendment was ratified.
It’s a good day to remember what the 22nd Amendment ratified: that presidents are limited to TWO terms in office.
No exceptions.
This is about justice for survivors. Whether you have been a President or not, we will ask the hard questions. ⬇️ #EpsteinFiles

Our Constitution is clear: the power to declare war sits with Congress. This is why ⬇️
Remind us all again, Mr. Lutnick.
You said there were “limited interactions” with Jeffrey Epstein… So what exactly are we looking at right now?
It’s time for every Administration official who has lied to the American people to be held accountable.
NM-01: Community Project Funding and appropriations requests are now live!
Are you a local government, non-profit, or other community org that is seeking federal funds for a project? FY27 applications for funding are now open and are due by March 6th! Find all the info here!
Justice for the Epstein survivors is not a partisan issue. Period.
In New Mexico, we know that. That’s why we passed a BIPARTISAN truth commission to investigate Zorro Ranch—especially after the feds asked NM to drop its case in 2019. We will pursue justice at every turn!
Bernalillo County has issued a Silver Alert for retired Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland.
He was last seen Friday morning near Quail Run Court NE.
If you have any information, please contact the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office Missing Persons Unit at 505-468-7070 or text BCSO to 847411.
Why did federal prosecutors ask New Mexico to drop its investigation into Zorro Ranch in 2019? And why are these files not in the file release by the DOJ under the Epstein Files Transparency Act?
This Admin is deeply out of touch. Instead of lowering costs for working families, Trump is plunging us into another war in the Middle East.
If families can’t afford rent or groceries, something is seriously wrong in this country.
Congress must reconvene and vote on our war powers resolution—now
Heartbroken to learn of the loss of three fallen soldiers and those injured overseas today. My prayers are with their loved ones, those recovering, and everyone in harm’s way. 💔🙏
It’s time for Congress to act against this lawless Administration. I am proud to be a cosponsor of a bipartisan War Powers Resolution affirming that *only* Congress can authorize a war against Iran. It’s time to act and stop this unauthorized and dangerous action in the Middle East. Full stop.
This morning, Donald Trump launched direct strikes against Iran without congressional authorization—endangering regional stability, American service members, and U.S. national security.
This investigation into the Epstein case is about justice for the survivors. In today’s deposition of former President Bill Clinton, we asked the hard questions.
President Trump, now it’s your turn.
As millions are remembering the life and legacy of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson—one of the true joys of this week was getting to see and meet so many members of the Jackson family and of course to serve every day alongside @repjackson!
Why are women predominantly being asked to answer for men’s crimes—and why are perpetrators not being held accountable? ⬇️
Everything about today’s deposition showed how deeply unserious the GOP is about investigating Epstein’s crimes. From asking questions about UFOs, to not a single GOP member attending a key deposition, to failing to hold Pam Bondi accountable for violating the law.
This is not a game.
Apparently, Oversight Republicans are now asking Hilary Clinton about UFOs. Wow.
If these guys were serious about addressing the Epstein crimes, why are they not asking the AG and FBI to answer for the cover-up of files and why cases have been left unprosecuted for decades?
