Clock Ticking for Hegseth: Emboldened House Democrats Signal Sudden End to Pentagon Tenure.
As a Canadian watching from across the border, it is incredible to see accountability returning to Washington. π¨π¦π
Who here wants to see Pete Hegseth impeached or replaced immediately?

Excellent! Sen. Jon Ossoff is calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. It should never be allowed for billionaires/oligarchs like Musk, who pumped almost half a billion dollars into the midterm election, to buy our politicians and government.

We donβt want it and we donβt need it.
Itβs the biggest slap across the face to the American people.
And it must be stopped before itβs finished.

This is huge. A marquee effort by Pete Buttigieg to show how to walk the walk.
On Election Day, Montanans said enough is enough when it comes to money in politics and resoundingly passed the Montana Plan. This initiative prevents corporations and outside groups from using dark money to try to manipulate elections in the state.
Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard to make this milestone victory possible β and thank you for leading the way on fixing what's broken in our political system.
