Seems like Pete Hegseth thinks Pete Hegseth should resign.
Post by @MattGertz stating “Pete Hegseth in 2016: "The people we rely on to do dangerous and difficult things for us rely on one thing from us: That we will not... be reckless with the dangerous things they are doing for us. That's the national security implications of a private server that's unsecured."

New Report: “Trump’s Tariff Plans Will Drive Up Costs For The Average American Family Between $1,600 And $2,000 Per Year"

Press statement here: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Read the report here: beyer.house.gov/uploadedfile...
Joint Economic Committee Rep. Don Beyer, Senior House Democrat Trump’s Tariff Plans Will Drive up Costs for the Average American Family between $1,600 and $2,000 per year The Trump Administration’s plan to impose tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China will drive up costs for Americans while hurting the overall economy. The tariffs that are set to take effect on March 4th will impose 25% tariffs on all goods coming from both Canada and Mexico and add a new 10% tariff on all goods coming from China, which is in addition to the 10% Chinese tariff already put into place by the Trump Administration last month. Trump’s tariffs will make everyday items more expensive Despite Trump’s claims that foreign countries pay for tariffs, evidence from his previous tariffs shows that it was actually domestic importers and American families who faced higher costs after they took effect. If Trump imposes his proposed tariffs, economists expect they would cost middle-class households thousands of dollars.

Powerful.

@algreen.house.gov: "There are times when it is better to stand alone, than not stand at all.

This president is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders. At some point, we're all going to have to stand up."

Trump is giving away 75 years of America’s global leadership for free. He’s actively ceding ground to Russia by turning on Zelensky.

Tonight Trump will address a coequal branch of government for which he has shown total contempt.

Meanwhile my constituents are seeing their livelihoods destroyed by illegal actions.

What he is doing is not normal, it is not acceptable, and I won't be attending.
