Our priority this week: Stopping Pete Hegseth

We must call our Senators and amplify any bad confirmation hearing stories/clips.

His nom remains in peril, thanks to skeptical GOPers (Mitch won't meet with him) and a bad 15-minute meeting with Ranking Dem Reed ("It didn’t go well").

Our members took an oath to uphold constitution. That’s why they must object to Trump’s electors on the grounds that they voted for an ineligible candidate. Call your representatives a senators! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social www.muellershewrote.com/p/congress-s...
Congress Should Object to Trump's Electors
Why do we have a mechanism for objecting if we're not going to use it?

THIS ISN’T GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION:

Trump and his cronies don’t want you to know this, but Illegal border crossings are at a 4-year low.

The last time numbers were this low was July 2020—when Trump was president.

Now he’s crying “open borders,” but he wasn’t back then. So, what changed?

Beware of the people who spent the last several years mocking Hunter Biden’s addiction issues who are now virtue signaling about Pete Hegseth’s alcohol issues.

WaPo has 7 stories up about Hunter Biden pardon (which would include his alleged lie to Congress about business w/CEFC in 2018, when Biden was no longer VP and not yet running for POTUS), but is not interested in Trump just getting $18M free and clear WHILE POTUS-elect.
Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post
A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

...but you have to suspect Trump knows Duffy is a bad guy for some reason we’re unaware of thus far, because—not to put too fine a point on it—Trump only is interested in bad people.

Bad people are the only ones he trusts, ironically.

He trusts them to cover for him and support him no matter what.

Agreed 100%.
An absolute no brainer for DNC chair is @benwikler.bsky.social . Thanks to what Ben built at WisDems, when the country swung ~6 points to the right this cycle, Wisconsin only swung 1.5 points to the right, while actually *adding* seats in the state legislature and holding onto Tammy Baldwin's seat.
