Did your senator(s) vote to confirm Hegseth? Now is your chance to call them and remind them you were going to hold them Directly Accountable when it went wrong. And it just went way wrong.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.

Good they should not be able to go anywhere anywhere in this entire country in comfort. I hope everyone makes them as uncomfortable wherever they go as they can possibly make them. Non-violent, but make sure they’re unwelcome.
