"Dems all too often defend the procedures of government instead of exercising power in the rare instances we have it. But unlike Trump, we can exercise it in a virtuous way... We can be both aggressive in our application of power and righteous in how we apply it; they’re not mutually exclusive."

Public broadcasters like PBS and NPR give every American access to culture, history, art, and trusted journalism. They’re a cornerstone of civic life.
Defunding them does a disservice to us all, especially in rural communities.
We must defend them.

Disgraceful response. They never take responsibility. Pete Hegseth put our national security at risk. He is completely unfit to lead.
Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?
Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes
