Pete Hegseth is that guy who wore ill-fitting bedazzled ass jeans with a shirt that said “Tapout” on it.

Which I never got because “Tapout” means you lost.

1. Yesterday, Montana's Judiciary Committee voted to advance a bathroom ban for trans adults along party lines.

The rationale a Republican used? That some trans women are attracted to women.

It begs the question how he feels about lesbians in bathrooms.

While we're talking national defense, reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids

President Biden has rightfully used his clemency power to change and save lives, and he must continue doing so before leaving office.

With days remaining in his presidency, we're calling on him to move with urgency and keep using clemency to address mass incarceration & reunite families.

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

Don't be fooled.

They can’t.
To Pete Hegseth, every allegation of sexual assault or harassment was an “anonymous smear,” even though his own mother corroborated them.

If he is SecDef, how can any victim of sexual assault possibly feel comfortable making a complaint with Hegseth in charge?

As a military sexual assault survivor, this is very triggering. Two men conspiring to call credible rape allegations nothing more than a smear campaign. They sound just like my rapist and his enablers who tried to cover it up and drum me out by convincing me it was all in my head. Despicable.
Wicker begins his questioning: "Let's get into this allegation about, um, sexual assault, inappropriate workplace behavior, alcohol abuse, and financial mismanagement ..."

Hegseth claims it's a "coordinated smear campaign orchestrated in the media against us."

Hey MAGA! Just because someone is a woman or a racial or sexual minority doesn’t mean they’re a DEI hire. Yes, there are unqualified people being appointed to government positions in the Trump administration, but they are mostly unqualified, straight white male idiots.

🔥 America has ~1 million firefighters.
🚨 65% of them volunteer their time.

If we spent just 1/10 of the U.S. defense budget, we could:

⚡️ Create a mega fire brigade.
👩‍🚒 Hire 895,000 NEW full-time firefighters.
💰 Pay them $100,000 a year.

Instead of invading Greenland we could protect Americans. 🔥
