Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

“Putin has spent the entire year trying to play Trump for a fool. If Administration officials are more concerned with appeasing Putin than securing real peace, then the President ought to find new advisors. Rewarding Russian butchery would be disastrous to America’s interests”

🚨 The Coast Guard just downgraded the swastika and the noose from banned hate symbols to merely “divisive.” Genocide and lynching imagery now get a shrug. This is what happens when Republican extremism infects our institutions — hate gets normalized, and accountability gets erased.

A million times I’ve said this. Everybody knew Trump was a sexual predator before his first election. We knew of the cases against him and Epstein. We don’t need the files. We see how he treats women publicly. God help anyone who is shuttered behind closed doors with his creepy, raisin-skinned ass.

Literally none of the economic issues we face are due to undocumented immigrants.
Meanwhile, this is verbatim Nazi propaganda being pushed out by the US Dept of Homeland Security.
The Trump regime is a fully fascist regime. They're not attempting to hide it in any capacity. This is who they are.

Companies should be required to explain why they can’t pay living wages, and why taxpayers need to subsidize their profits when they force their employees to rely on SNAP.

With the Epstein case, we either end up in a world where pedophilia, sexual assault of children, and human trafficking are endorsed by the United States of America, or we hold every single person involved in these heinous crimes accountable. It appears the Trump regime is trying hard for the former.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.
