Unqualified tv host holds up promotions of highly qualified officers “after decades of evaluations written by commanders and civilian leaders detailing operational performance, moral character, intellectual capacity, and the ability to lead increasingly large and complex organizations.”
My latest in @thebulwark.com
"To punish an officer for having served under a particular senior leader is to misunderstand the very nature of military service." It looks like that is what Hegseth is doing.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

The EPA no longer exists. Its actions yesterday were an act of appeasement for the oil and gas industry, the very sector it’s meant to oversee.

POTUS doesn’t care about your health or your child’s health.

Society will bear the costs of this selfishness.

AG Pam Bondi brought a portfolio of degrading insults before the House Judiciary Committee today, but failed to bring evidence, answers, or accountability.

Today’s hearing confirmed that this DOJ protects pedophiles and sex offenders in power, not the American people.

For months, the administration falsely claimed that its military operations in the Caribbean were about stopping drugs. Now, they are hiding the proceeds of Venezuela’s oil in an offshore bank.

Trump’s DOJ lackeys just tried to indict Members of Congress for stating the obvious:

You don’t have to follow illegal orders.

That the DOJ would even contemplate such an action demonstrates what a repressive regime is now running this country. 🧵

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

Now we learned that they were in business together.

He has no business being our Commerce Secretary.

He should resign.
