Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

it appears that most democrats have little to no cognizance of this. if they do, they are doing a terrible job at empathizing with their constituents. either way, easy way to get fired via primary
i follow a lot of people covering ICE's terror campaign but it was eye opening to see irl how angry everyone is. every store has anti ice signs and know your rights brochures. there's anti ice graffiti everywhere. people are pissed.

extremely dangerous: "efforts by President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to politicize the armed forces and to turn them into instruments of their MAGA agenda"
The rate of boat strikes has roughly doubled since Adm Alvin Holsey’s departure as head of Southern Command was announced in mid-October. Evidently Hegseth has found more-compliant officers who will do Trump’s bidding even if, in the process, they risk a future court martial. wapo.st/4nEItvh

This is a form of social prejudice that @svmiller.com and I find is empirically associated with weak support for democracy. (Will link paper below.) We’ve stalled on the book project but we document that anti-neighbor prejudice of this nature is corrosive to democratic values.
