Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

"make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders". Sounds like elections in Russia, Iran, or Turkey.

I served. It's severely damaging to the nonpartisan reputation of our armed forces.
I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

BREAKING: DHS has run out of funding and is shut down.

GOP lawmakers refused to negotiate reforms to stop ICE from killing people in broad daylight, locking up kids, & making our communities less safe.

Lawmakers should not fund the agency until ICE is reined in.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

I also must say that it's a bit rich that Trump and his DOJ think it's a good idea to gin up a bullshit investigation about supposed illegalities in ... {checks notes} … renovating a federal building

What if we told you Trump was offering leniency on immigration matters to someone who ran a Russia-backed propaganda outlet? Because we are:

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

I learned about the DoD investigation by tweet, and I learned they’re “escalating” it the same way last night. This just shows again how Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. And there's nothing he can do to stop me from fighting for this country.
