Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation.

The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ?

Suggestions ?

The guy who just a few years ago, by his own admission, was identified "as an extremist" by his own unit over one of his tattoos and was barred from working at President Biden's inauguration is now…Defense Secretary of the United Stated and sixth in line to the presidency.

I’d make a better Secretary of Defense than Pete Hegseth.

I say this knowing I have no qualifications for that job but still more than him bc I’m not a drunk, don’t rape people, and don’t support war crimes.

But guess which one of us would be called a “DEI hire”? This whole thing is a scam

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

There is only one reason Trump pulled the security off Pompeo and Bolton…to put them in danger for “crossing him.” To send a message to anyone else who would oppose.

Both have active death threats from Iran.

All to intimidate.

This is the opposite of a real man of God. This is evil

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

MAGA attacking DEI is going to elevate the most medicore white dudes at the expense of qualified people, especially women and people of color, and all of them, and the rest of us, are going to suffer.

Racism is always self destructive but then again this is America.

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history.

He should be rejected by the Senate.

Just a reminder that Pete Hegseth is totally unqualified to be Secretary of Defense.

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office.

But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection.

The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

Listening to the mother of former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone describing on @joy.msnbc.com how she has been harassed and menaced is making my chest so tight. If your police union hasn’t condemned this conduct if, as a Member of Congress, you’ve condoned these pardons, you are a disgrace.

This evening in the US Capitol, I was proud to stand with Representatives Eric Swalwell, Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan and DC police officer Danny Hodges and speak out against the pardons given to domestic terrorists.

Attached is a portion of my remarks.
