Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

NEW: For the first time, the story of the 17 year old girl who testified that she had sex with Matt Gaetz for money.
She was living in and out of a homeless shelter.
She was working at McDonald's. She had just finished her junior year in high school. And she wanted extra money to try to save up to pay for braces to fix her teeth.
Remember: Trump tried to make this guy Attorney General

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Thread: Having written a book about the 1963 March on Washington, and been to a lot of protests, I think its important to acknowledge the success of security measures at the No Kings protests. Given the vitriol directed at them in the week before, it was wise to predict violence from opponents

Two headlines on front page of NYT.
First is "Trump Weighs Transforming Refugee Policy. White People Would be Given Preference."
Second is "Justices May Ban Race as a Factor in District Maps. Nation's Political Balance Could Shift If Court Guts 1964 Law."
Where we stand, in long arc of history:
-Story on left, adding race as a factor when that favors white people.
-Story on right, banning race as a factor when that favors non-whites.
I often complain about NYT headlines and story-play. But these are strong. Including "If Court Guts 1965 Law."
