idk man seems like people who have a "they're getting what they voted for!" reaction to the Texas floods are maybe having a fear-based desire to see those experiencing tragedy as deserving because it makes a chaotic world seems more orderly

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

EXCLUSIVE: Senator Schiff calls for resignations of Trump officials over “Signal-Gate”

Schiff: They should be fired, or they should quit.

Meiselas: Senator, you’re calling for those resignations?

Schiff: Yes, I am.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

I went to the last one and they just repeated platform talking points. I’ve voted Dem my entire life and know what they purport (looking at you, Chuck S) to represent. It’s time to see an action plan not a recitation.

Tammy Duckworth @duckworth.senate.gov · Mar 25

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important.

He should be fired immediately.

@governorwalz.mn.gov Hey man can you come to Indiana for a rally or two? We have virtually no positive Democratic representation except for @carson.house.gov. You obviously do not have to afraid to step on the toes of other state Dem leadership as it is either collaborating or nonexistent.

This is blatant defiance of the court order. It was NOT too late. When the judge issued is order, two planes were in the air, and a third took off from Texas AFTER the order.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

There are enough threads tying Felon47 to the Kremlin you could weave a tapestry large enough to envelop the White House.

The administration is hearing this “YOU OWE US, BITCH” message daily, they’re paying it back in spades & making Putins wildest dreams come true.
