President Donald Trump's announcement Wednesday morning on Twitter that he will bar transgender people from serving in the military brings to a boil a previously simmering congressional debate.

President Donald Trump's announcement Wednesday that reinstated a ban on transgender individuals serving in the U.S. military stirred up both condemnation and praise from across the political spectrum.

President Trump has announced that the government will not allow transgender people to serve in the U.S. military, a year after the Pentagon lifted its ban on transgender service members.

In a series of tweets on Wednesday morning, he wrote:

Three House Democrats on Tuesday introduced a multi-layered bill aimed at boosting the cybersecurity workforce.

The United States is not a monarchy, but in times of nuclear crisis it sure feels like one. In his capacity as commander in chief, the president of the United States has sole authority over whether to launch a nuclear strike.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) introduced two amendments Monday that put focus on President Trump's family and businesses, including one that would strip funding from senior White House adviser Jared Kushner's office.

We need to get Donald Trump's finger off the nuclear button. This is not a partisan plea. It is not a call to lower America's guard against potential nuclear attacks. It is an appeal to common sense in the face of a president whose volatile temperament and erratic judgment should rule out allowing him to single-handedly start a nuclear war.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) on Saturday accused President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner of blatantly lying on key national security forms, reaffirming his call for Kushner's security clearance to be revoked.
