NEW POLL: 75% of Americans say Pete Hegseth should be removed from office.
Are you one of them?
Yes.
No.

ICYMI: Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit BLOCKED mailing prescriptions for mifepristone — an appalling overreach that threatens access to safe and effective abortion medication.
SCOTUS must immediately respond to the requests to reverse this decision. @SenateDems will continue to defend access to mifepristone and fight against this national abortion ban.

@StinkinGenius1 @Aaron_Torres @JMartRadio @FoxSportsRadio Great news! I can listen on Saturday night since that idiot @JMartRadio isn't on!

In off the bench. @Aaron_Torres & @StinkinGenius1 in for @JMartRadio 8p-11p pst. @FoxSportsRadio where should we start?

We must never allow Congress to turn into a casino, where members representing the public can gamble on wars or economic crises or elections.
That would destroy the very principle of representative government.
This is a good start but not enough. The Trump Administration and its employees must apply these very same rules too, which are particularly important for them given their troubling affinity for corruption and self-dealing.

@SenSchumer @POTUS Do you ever tell the truth? I have never seen it! Schumer could you do one thing?
English
Prices skyrocketing to the highest levels in years and all @POTUS can think about is funding his gold-plated ballroom with your tax dollars.
A cruel person who couldn’t care less about the damage he’s doing.

After weeks of leaving Congress in the dark about the state of Trump’s disastrous war, Pete Hegseth came to the Capitol to testify. After his attempt to blame Democrats, one thing was left very clear:
The greatest obstacle to peace is the incompetence of the Secretary of Defense and of the President of the United States.
English
Republicans keep forcing through some of the shadiest, most unqualified nominees I’ve ever seen.
The Trump loyalists in today’s package are no different, like Darin Smith for the District Court of Wyoming.
He’s not only underqualified but was at the Capitol on January 6th.
Disgusting. Trump reaches a new low every day.
English
Gas prices are now an average of $4.23, up FORTY PERCENT since Trump started his costly, reckless war with Iran.

Apparently, Trump wasn’t satisfied with forcing Americans to foot the bill for a war they do not want.
He cut a trillion dollars in tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
Now, he also wants Americans to pay $400 million to build a gilded WH ballroom, not for you, but for him and his billionaire buddies.
Trump and his cronies know no shame.

.@LeaderJohnThune is right.
The House should simply pass the bill the Senate passed unanimously over a month ago to fund DHS apart from Trump’s rogue police forces.
Burgess Everett@burgessev
Sen. Thune is "sympathetic" to Speaker Johnson but seems exasperated with the House not passing the DHS funding bill after their joint statement weeks ago “That was 27 days ago, so my question is, what was the alternative?" "We've got to fund all these agencies. They got a bill over there that does that" "I think we've done what we can"
English
Don’t buy this narrative. The Senate has already passed a unanimous bill to fund all of DHS except ICE.
Mike Johnson blocked it. He could pass it today if he wanted.
Senator Cynthia Lummis@SenLummis
Enough is enough. Democrats need to come to their senses & join us in voting to fund DHS. The Secret Service, who Democrats have refused to fund for months, bravely stopped an attack on our government leaders this weekend. It's time to do the responsible thing and fund @DHSgov.
English
Democrats UNANIMOUSLY supported funding the vast majority of DHS, including Secret Service. We passed it in the Senate, not once but twice.
It is House Republicans, not Democrats, who are blocking this funding.
English
@RepJeffries You Democrats are the cause of all the violence! Your not a man anyway!
English
America will not be lectured about civility by far right extremists in Congress.
Particularly those who provide aid and comfort to hundreds of violent rioters who brutally beat police officers on January 6.
There will be ample time to vigorously debate the issues of the day.
Now is a time to unify.

I am closely monitoring the unfolding situation at the White House Correspondents Dinner. I’m grateful for the quick response of law enforcement and am praying everyone remains safe.
