The Republicans pushing through Pete Hegseth have committed an extreme violation of their duty to defend the security of Americans and America. History will remember their putting Trump over country—and so will we.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.
Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”
REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

The last full day with a Democratic President.
We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺
