The U.S. and Israel have launched a major military campaign against Iran called Operation Epic Fury, reportedly killing Iran's Supreme Leader and costing American lives, while Congress scrambles to reassert its war powers authority. On the domestic front, the House passed a $26 billion spending package that funds both disaster relief and $28 billion in border enforcement, as a proposed balanced budget amendment threatens future cuts to Social Security and Medicare by banning federal borrowing during economic downturns.

WATCH IN FULL: President Trump provides an update on Operation Epic Fury. "Today, the U.S. military continues to carry out large-scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the grave threats posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime... The regime's conventional ballistic missile program was growing rapidly & dramatically, & this posed a very clear, colossal threat to America & our forces stationed overseas..."

The self-proclaimed “peace” president is the most trigger-happy, destructive president in the history of our country. Fitfully lashing out with no strategy.

Operation Epic Fury is about much more than a nuclear weapon. For decades, Iran’s brutal regime has bankrolled terrorism across the Middle East. Because of President @realDonaldTrump’s resolve, we finally have a real chance at lasting peace. https://t.co/j2RETtgDyN

Following the successful strikes on Iran and the FBI’s warning of elevated threats here at home, it is dangerous for Democrats in Washington to keep the Department of Homeland Security shut down. This week, we are calling on House Democrats to end their dangerous games by bringing to the floor legislation to end the DHS shutdown so we can ensure agencies can protect America during this dangerous time. This is the time for all Americans to come together and support our troops while we protect our homeland.

President Trump’s decision to go into Iran with overwhelming force is the most consequential decision of his presidency. The Ayatollah is now no longer able to make good on his chants of “death to America.” https://t.co/Ej7Tk34jMa
