Hegseth has been a proven failure as a secretary of defense. If the president still refuses to fire him, he should resign.

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue:
ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant.
The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge.
This is ridiculous.

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances.
The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship.
What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.

The circle of top advisers in Pete Hegseth’s orbit has shrunk recently to little more than his wife, lawyer, and two lower-level officials—leaving the Pentagon’s lead office without longtime expertise or clear direction. This had led to fears about dangerous slip-ups, such as weapons program delays.
Pentagon leadership vacuum overwhelms Hegseth's office: 'It's a free-for-all'
The departure of the Defense secretary’s top advisers has left the first-time government official without senior staff who understand Washington.

No, @slotkin.senate.gov — Dems shouldn’t stop using the term “oligarchy”. They should make it a household term. And they should be wary of anyone telling them otherwise.
People know what it means. And if they don’t, tell them. That’s what leaders do.
