Not sure the House GOP did Hegseth any favors here. Now he’ll be impeached in January, when the Democrats will have a lot more say over how the Senate trial is conducted.

I need everyone to understand how big of a deal this is. Dems are set to control more state legislatures than Republicans. And here’s why it matters… 📌 Redistricting & who draws the maps 📌 Voting rights & election laws 📌 Gun laws & abortion rights 📌 Education funding & worker protections

Trump thought that if he attacked me that my community wouldn’t show up and vote. But Minnesotans had other plans. We don’t cower to bullies. We don’t live in fear. But we do vote—and we vote big. 💪🏽

There have been no public hearings on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation: No witness testimonies, no stories from survivors, and no answers from Attorney General Todd Blanche about the largest White House cover-up in history. All of that is going to change.

Bari Weiss’s 60 Minutes edited its latest interview with Donald Trump to make the octogenarian’s responses appear much more sane than they actually were. https://mrf.lu/2Y_nT

Trump’s 60 Minutes Interview Was So Much Crazier Than We Realized

Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.   This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov · 4mo ago

Tomorrow, the Senate will take a key vote on the $1.1 TRILLION defense bill. It not only fails to rein in Trump’s Iran war, it also has a provision touted by PM Netanyahu to MANDATE more U.S. defense cooperation with Israel. None of this is in our national security interests. I will vote NO.

It seems like there’s a connection between this story and the missing F-35 fighter jet parts as well Tons of America’s most sensitive cutting edge technology keeps going missing and getting funneled into the hands of our adversaries And someone is getting paid for it very bigly This goes deep

The Jensen Huang story is getting drumbeat coverage. Do we have a genuine scandal brewing now that the vibes have shifted? Are the walls finally closing in on the smelly pedophile? Stay tuned🍿

Scoop by me "Bad faith, a deliberate attempt to mislead the Court, perpetuate a fraud on the tribunal, and violate obligations under Rule 11.” Judge bars DOJ attorney from ever appearing again in immigration enforcement case. www.justsecurity.org/163989/judge...

Exclusive: Judge Bars DOJ Attorney from Appearing in Case: "Deliberate Attempt to Mislead the Court"

A federal judge on Monday accused DOJ attorneys of “prima facie Rule 11 violations” and barred an attorney from future appearances in a case.

Hegseth called Mark Kelly seditious for reminding troops to refuse illegal orders and tried to gut his pension. Now six of the eight impeachment articles are about illegal orders. Kelly also says Pete's 'notified Congress' line is bullshit. Karma wears a flight suit, Pete.

'He needs to go': Mark Kelly unleashes on Trump’s 'disaster' Pentagon chief

On Tuesday, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) revealed something “quite ironic” about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s statement earlier in the morning, in which President Donald Trump’s embattled Pentagon ch...

Hegseth denounces "show trials" and says, "we've seen this show before. They impeached President Trump over a perfect phone call."

Warren: "Democrats must deliver popular, meaningful legislation to Trump's desk, and then dare him to veto it. Dare him to veto an increase to the minimum wage for hard-working Americans ... you can't win what you don't fight for"

Inflation has more than doubled since Trump took office. The scale of the policy failure that America is experiencing right now is hard to put into words.

Role Reversal You disappoint us Mr Musk

We’ve all heard that one before.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h ago

Hegseth notes that everything he did was "ordered by the commander in chief" (he was just following orders, you see)

Inflation is back up to about 4%, double the Fed’s 2% target. It was 2.4% before the Iran war began.

A year ago today, I attended the 50th anniversary memorial service for the Edmund Fitzgerald at the Mariners' Church of Detroit (the one in Gordon Lightfoot's song) and heard the bell toll 29 times for the lost sailors. The ship wintered 1974 in Lorain, OH, not far from where I was born that June.

The American people have spoken loud & clear: They want us to end Trump’s illegal & senseless war. And in 1 month, we’ll have an opportunity to do that. I will not support a government funding bill unless it defunds this war.

Can we all promise not to elect a reality TV star as president again? Especially one who thinks it's a good idea to put another reality star in charge of air safety. abc7.com/post/air-fra...

Susie Wiles' old lobbying firm raked in $186 million while she ran the White House, and an insider says it pushed fruity vapes and shielded Big Sugar. Blanche calls it something someone said on a podcast. Drain the swamp, my ass. They built a toll booth on it.

This gorgeous Willie Mays stamp will be released in the near future by the United States Postal Service. It was a privilege to assist the USPS with this amazing project. Willie is celebrated with the 50th stamp in the Black Heritage series, and it’s a beaut. @SayHeyFdn

CBS edited Trump's interview on 60 Minutes. The black and white clips did not appear in Sunday night's broadcast because the network removed sections where Trump lied. This is part of his explanation about the war in Ukraine.

New England didn't just reject MAGA. They wiped Republicans off the Senate map. Six states. Twelve seats.

Warren's list has 130 ways Musk used DOGE to cash in. DOJ dropped a case against SpaceX, OSHA closed a Tesla safety probe, and the Air Force wouldn't even review a contractor reportedly chatting with Putin. Democrats have the receipts. Subpoena this oligarch first.

There's so much we know about what Dems will do from what they did (often to little notice) in last 22 months. One of my favorites is this 130 point list of ways Elon Musk used DOGE to get personal benefit. Here's the section on enforcement actions shut down. www.warren.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Stephen Miller has been the architect of Trump's cruel and unconstitutional mass deportation campaign. Todd Blanche doesn't want us to take him on. Why? The American people deserve accountability for the harms done by ICE and DHS in this country.

They came back to encourage their friend 😃

Pete Hegseth has grossly abused his position as Secretary of Defense. He is waging an illegal war in Iran, conducting extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, and continues to put innocent civilians in harm's way. Accountability is due. It's time to impeach Hegseth.

Massie: "I do have a message to the troops. This secretary has used our troops to go seize oil for large corporations. You shouldn't be used like that. You signed up to pledge your life for this country if need be, and that obligation shouldn't be diminished to stealing oil for big corporations."
