The United States Congress is a co-equal branch of government in our system of checks and balances. The Congress has a constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight in the war zone where our men and women in uniform are risking their lives every day.
After President Trump revoked the use of military aircraft to travel to Afghanistan, the delegation was prepared to fly commercially to proceed with this vital trip to meet with our commanders and troops on the front lines.
In the middle of the night, State Dept's Diplomatic Security Service provided an updated threat assessment detailing that the President announcing this sensitive travel had significantly increased danger to the delegation & to troops, security, & other officials supporting trip.

22 Republicans voted against legislation aimed to keep the US in #NATO. The bill goes to Senate where Mitch McConnel will most likely block it. Putin's goals: 1. lifting sanctions (in progress); 2. dissolve NATO; 3. weaken the US, UK, EU; 3. normalize war in Syria and Ukraine.
Trump's first anti-NATO step: in Sept 1987, 2 months after his first visit to the USSR (paid by the Intourist, a state agency reporting to the KGB), Trump bought full-page anti-NATO ads in NYT, WaPo & Boston Globe at a total cost of $94,801. medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
On Jan 17, Trump canceled Pelosi's trip to Brussels & Afganistan calling it "an excursion." Pelosi was to meet with the top NATO commanders & reaffirm the US 'ironclad commitment' to the NATO."Trump's motivation: not wanting to use a military jet during the government shutdown.

BREAKING: I can confirm that Kandahar's police chief, governor, and intelligence chief have all been killed. This is a huge blow. #Afghanistan
UPDATE 1: My source tells me the #Kandahar governor's bodyguards turned their guns on their own colleagues and U.S. military officials.

Two Americans wounded and evacuated. Top U.S. commander in #Afghanistan present but unhurt, says NATO.
UPDATE 2: #Kandahar police chief and the intelligence head were killed immediately in the attack; governor died of injuries in hospital, my source says.

3 Americans, including a soldier, civilian and contractor, were wounded and had been evacuated, NATO says. #Afghanistan

#NATO summit: NATO leaders united in approving plans to bolster defenses against #Russia. (Earlier Trump slammed allies, called Germany "captive of Russia" b/c of energy deal. Actually, Russia needs that energy deal more than Germany) - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/world/europe/t…
FACT CHECK: Russia accounts for less than 20% of Germany’s energy needs

Trump falsely claimed Germany gets up to 70% of its energy from and is therefore “captive to Russia.” Nowhere near the truth, even w/ NordStream2 pipeline. snappytv.com/tc/8449919/592… #NATO #NATOsummit
#Russia's pipeline to #Germany that Trump seems to be so mad about, explained - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/news/worldview… #NATO #NATOsummit #NordStream2
