I'm holding everyone affected by this attack in my heart.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Sen. Joni Ernst could've torpedoed Hegseth's nomination for defense secretary. She's a military veteran and survivor of sexual assault. Hegseth was credibly accused of abuse of women, including rape.
Joni Ernst's "yes" vote will make women less likely to come forward. She voted for sexual assault.
