That's why I'm introducing the WARRIOR Act alongside @duckworth.senate.gov and our Democratic colleagues. To do what Pete Hegseth won't: strengthen our military by ensuring that every servicemember is judged on their ability, not their gender. 19thnews.org/2026/07/wome...
Women have served in combat for a decade. Lawmakers want to protect that right.
“As far as I’m concerned, the only person who doesn’t think that women should have the opportunity to serve in these roles is Hegseth,” said Sen. Mazie Hirono, a lead sponsor of a new bill.

I was a cop. This organization has progressed from a bunch of poorly trained, poorly vetted and poorly supervised mall cops to a dangerous gang whose violent actions are not only allowed, but encouraged. Every video shows dangerous, illegal tactics and should horrify every person of conscience.
🔥I Resist Fascist Trump🔥@harrypotterresists.bsky.social · 4w agoYESTERDAY - ST.

Pentagon orders new study for women in combat roles
Defense Secretary Hegseth convened a team to study women in combat roles with a controversial researcher to lead the inquiry.

For 10 years now, women have met and exceeded what Hegseth calls “the highest male standards” and what infantry soldiers call “the standards.” Hegseth continues to look for any excuse to remove women from a role he failed at - even if he has to rig the study. thewarhorse.org/women-in-com...

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.
Listen, I know deep in the weeds details of legislation are boring, but this stuff really matters. VES makes fantastic points here about *even more* reasons to oppose the big ugly omnibus - please *tell your representatives* to stand up for veteran benefits:

DC Statehood was a moral and political necessity before Trump II but Trump II has aptly demonstrated that not immediately remedying this over the objections of Republicans is a moral and political failing.
