Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is unfit to serve. He leaked classified information on Signal, potentially putting military pilots at risk. He then refused to cooperate with the IG. He lied about a war crime, and then threw Admiral Bradley under the bus. Hegseth must resign.
MORE Breaking on MS NOW: Pete Hegseth refused an interview request for the Pentagon Inspector General's investigation into Signalgate, according to two sources who read and were briefed on report. Hegseth would not turn over his phone, a source who read the report told MS NOW.

Survivors of human trafficking deserve justice and compassion, not criminalization. Pleased that the House passed our bipartisan legislation to provide much-needed relief to trafficking survivors.
Human trafficking survivors deserve justice—not a lifetime of punishment for crimes their traffickers forced them into. Proud the House passed my bipartisan Trafficking Survivors Relief Act to break that cycle and help survivors rebuild their lives. https://t.co/dFuDf1K5aL

We have an affordability crisis. Plus, millions of Americans are either going to lose health insurance or pay a lot more for their premiums. What are Republicans doing? Making their Great Gatsby ballroom even bigger.

Grocery prices are up, electricity prices are surging and health care costs are skyrocketing. What is Trump focused on? Having the U.S. military commit war crimes on land as well as the sea. And sleeping at televised Cabinet meetings.
Q: "If it is found that survivors were actually killed while clinging onto that boat, should Secretary Hegseth, Admiral Bradley or others be punished?" President Trump: "I think you're going to find that this is war...very soon we're going to start doing it on land, too..."

Trump’s economy sucks. 32,000 jobs were lost in the private sector last month. The policies of Trump and rubber stamp Republicans are crushing the American people. And what is Trump focused on? Making his Great Gatsby ballroom even bigger. And sleeping at Cabinet meetings.
🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on the ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in November. That's the fourth negative number in the past six months. The estimate was for plus 40,000, so the street was off on this one ...

Dear Indiana and Florida GOP: The only way you can gerrymander more red seats is by making existing Republican incumbent districts even weaker. I dare you to do so after tonight’s 13 point over performance by Democrats in a midterm level turnout special election in Tennessee.
If top Republican strategists are sounding the alarm like this publicly, you can only imagine the meltdowns being had behind closed doors.

A message for the members of the U.S. military: thank you for your service. Those of us who served know that part of the code of conduct is to not lie and accept responsibility. Unfortunately, Secretary Hegseth engaged in dishonorable conduct. Shame on Hegseth. He must resign.

Republicans spent massive amounts of money to support Van Epp in a deeply red district, and Democrat Aftyn Behn STILL OVER PERFORMED BY 15 POINTS. Apply that over performance (or even half of it) in litigated races across America next Nov and the result will be a Blue Tsunami.
Dems, however, say the fact this race — in a district Trump carried by 22 pts — was even close is a warning sign to Republicans. House Majority PAC Communications Director CJ Warnke says: “Tonight’s results make it clear: No House Republican's reelection should be considered
