Good to see folks in the media asking important questions about what may be happening behind the scenes between the Pentagon and @boyscouts, and what it could mean for LGBTQ+ organizations. Worth a read. @gayety @PeteHegseth instagram.com/p/DeNHIa7jIKM/

Abdul El-Sayed was just asked about the 11 House Democrats who missed the Pete Hegseth vote and this was his answer: "You should show up and do your job." Boom. 💥

Replying to @imreallyimprtnt
It’s speculation that they would have kept the vote open. I expect MAXIMUM effort from our caucus. That includes doing whatever creates an opportunity for the opposition to make an error. Flood the zone. Be relentless.

It was great meeting Representative-elect Don Leonard. The American people voted for authenticity and truth. Angelenos voted to ensure we do everything we can to block the bombs and end citizens united.

1) Failure to communicate the "strategy" to the voters 2) Should have shown up to vote regardless, and then amplified the case that the GOP is a cult beholden to Trump and Hegseth.

🚨HOLY SH*T: Mark Kelly just showed Tulsi Gabbard a Trump email to donors promising he’d let them in national security briefings for cash. "Do you think (his) supporters should be able to pay and receive private national security briefings?" Gabbard: …

SORRY, BUT STUDENT LOANS SHOULD HAVE 0% INTEREST. Why should borrowing $50,000 for an education turn into owing $80,000? Give people a clear repayment plan to pay back what they actually borrowed. No interest piling on another $30k. No years of payments that barely touch the balance. You borrowed $50k. You should owe $50k. Education debt shouldn’t grow while you’re trying to pay it off.

👏👏👏"Shame on my own party" is the only sane response to Demcorats failing to impeach Hegseth... other than "primary them."
Kamlager-Dove on Hegseth Impeachment: We knew that this vote was coming, so people should have gotten their raggedy selves up these steps to vote. There is no reason why we should have lost this vote because of attendance issues. You know this man should not be in this position. That’s why he got up at 8 o’clock in the morning with his sorry self to plead to the American people. So shame on folks who are not here. Because these people lost. They lost, and they still found a way to show up to table this bill. Shameful.

House Republicans blocked an effort to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, with 11 Democrats absent. Democratic Congresswoman and Air Force veteran Chrissy Houlahan said "it is a failure of duty to not show up for the vote."

Don Leonard says straight up here that Hakeem Jeffries is willing to sabotage these red-to-blue candidates and LOSE this seat in 2028 in order to be Speaker. We need new leadership that actually cares about the blue wave continuing.
Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker. His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.” He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

Asked AOC during my live shot about the 11 Democratic absences that could have cost them a successful House vote to advance Pete Hegseth impeachment resolution. “The people send us here to do a job. I don't know if anyone had any real health issues or anything significant. So I want to leave room for that,” she told me. “But that being said, at the end of the day, we're here to do a job. And the same way I had to clock in when I worked at a restaurant, we got to clock in and do our work here.”

Democrats not showing up for the Hegseth impeachment vote is a giant warning sign. Forget Republicans - did Democrats and their leaders watch the election results last week?
