Hegseth is too reckless and too incompetent, even for the Trump Administration. He needs to resign.
BREAKING: A Pentagon watchdog concluded that Sec. Hegseth risked exposing classified information that could have endangered U.S. troops when he relayed details about a planned military strike in Yemen using the Signal messaging app, according to sources. https://t.co/7SOVTqnvc8

The January 6 Cop Killers are free, because President Trump pardoned them. And Congressional Republicans refuse to hang a plaque to honor the brave Police Officers who defended the Capitol.

During the @OversightDems field hearing, community and faith leaders made it clear: Trump’s brutal mass deportations agenda isn’t making communities safer. In fact, it’s doing precisely the opposite.

Today we honor Rosa Parks. Her courage sparked a movement, and still inspires us to stand up for justice and equality. She reminds us that real change begins when we hold firm to our convictions and work for a fair, just, and equal society.

Millions of families noticed it this week. Thanksgiving was a lot more expensive this year because of Trump’s harmful economic policies. He broke his promise to lower prices. Democrats are fighting to bring down costs for working families.

Tonight, my thoughts are with the National Guardsmen fighting for their lives and their loved ones. We don’t yet know the motive for this heinous crime, but a full, transparent investigation needs to take place to determine whether or how it could have been prevented.

I’m horrified to learn that National Guardsmen have been shot in Washington, DC. My thoughts are with their families, loved ones, and those who served alongside them in the Guard.
Several people were shot near the White House in Washington, DC, including at least one National Guardsman

At @OversightDems’ LA field hearing, families shared the trauma of Trump’s ICE raids. Law-abiding citizens and immigrants are being brutally detained while real public safety threats go ignored.

Yesterday @OversightDems held a shadow field hearing in Los Angeles to hear firsthand the impacts of Trump’s reckless deportation policies. They’ve targeted and brutally detained law-abiding immigrants and American citizens, with a campaign designed to sow fear. But the

Trump promised to lower prices. Instead, Thanksgiving costs are up 10% — three times higher than inflation — and some everyday foods are nearly 60% higher than last year. Families are paying the price for his failures.
