Hegseth refuses to commit to follow the Constitution. He refuses to say he won’t follow an illegal order from Trump. This alone is disqualifying. But no Republican Senator will defy their leader. So Hegseth will be approved. So screw the Constitution.👇
Sen. Slotkin asking Hegseth if there is ever an illegal order that could come from the Commander-in-Chief & if he’d refuse to comply, and Hegseth refuses to answer the question.

"A Democratic senator should ask every single Trump appointee, 'Could Donald Trump run for president or vice president in 2028? Just a simple yes or no answer, please. Is it possible?'"
Weakness Is a Provocation
ABC News, billionaires, media orgs, and CEOs are surrendering to Trump because they think he’s a lame duck. They’re making a terrible mistake.

"I have told several people lately that I am concerned this election will be my Joker origin story. But I keep pulling myself back from the brink—I think, in part, because I’ve seen how the nihilism infected my Republican friends."

Nearly every single Republican voted against releasing the Matt Gaetz ethics report.

Patel, and Trump, love the confrontation; but they don't begin to understand the consequence for our safety and security -- yours and mine -- of dropping a bomb on FBI headquarters. Their agenda couldn't be more destructive if the blueprint was devised in the Kremlin.

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.
