Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.
He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The trump EO to close ED is emblematic of what the GOP doesn’t value: services for people who are poor and have disabilities, studying how to improve our nation’s education system, getting people in and through higher education, and civil rights. Speaks volumes about the character of the GOP.
