Duckworth: Pete Hegseth Needs to Resign in Disgrace | U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois
The Official U.S. Senate website of Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois
Not a historian, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting US Senator — or member of Congress, generally — or perhaps any senior US gov’t official — has included an f-bomb in an official press release.

Why is Pam Bondi refusing to investigate the Signal chat?

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries.
There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.
Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

Can someone let ICE know an immigrant has broken into the US Treasury?

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

Democrats should not vote on a single Trump cabinet nominee until this federal assistance freeze is rescinded.
Do not let up.

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history.
He should be rejected by the Senate.

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.

The U.S. banning TikTok:
19.01.2025 19:51 — 👍 98 🔁 15 💬 0 📌 1
This shake down of TikTok is Trump’s long con.
Trump started the TikTok ban, but has now flipped-flopped to play the hero while looking to enrich new owners (his donors).
There is nothing in this post about protecting American’s data, Trump’s original justification for the ban.

Confess your unbridled love to me in a candlelit library in Vienna during a full moon on a cold winter’s night before passionately kissing me, or kindly stop wasting my time.

The CEO of an amoral health insurance company has been assassinated, leading to celebrations from an angry populace, moral debates, and a citywide manhunt. Critics are calling it "preachy Oscar bait that wades into heady topics without much to say about them". 49% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The only reason we have an unmasked photo of the healthcare hero is bc he was flirting with the girl at the check in desk of his hostel, if he wanted to he would
