Pete Hegseth's tattoos tell a story of his beliefs. The Jerusalem Cross is a symbol that dates back to the Crusades and been linked to Christian nationalism and far-right groups in the 21st century. His tattoos signify that America should be an explicitly Christian nation.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
