Actually, I had back surgery yesterday and checked myself out of the hospital this morning to make sure I voted to IMPEACH Hegseth. He’s the most incompetent & immoral SecDef in history and he needs to go!

Pete Hegseth will go down as the most incompetent and unfit Secretary of Defense in history. He is a disgrace, and every decision he makes jeopardizes our brave service members and makes our country less safe. Congress must act now and impeach Pete Hegseth.

I'm a hard yes for Chris Van Hollen.
Schumer shouldn't get the gavel by default. Chris Van Hollen is one of the Senate's most progressive voices, a lawyer facing an administration that breaks the law, and he ran the DCCC in the 2008 wave. He says he's not looking to be majority leader. Let's change his mind.

Do you remember when Kilmar Abrego Garcia was wrongfully deported by the Trump administration? The Senator that flew to El Salvador and worked tirelessly to get him home was Chris Van Hollen. Someone who actively fights to help people would be an amazing Senate Majority Leader.

The only person saying Schumer has the votes for Majority Leader is Schumer. It's time to draft Chris Van Hollen, a proven leader. When everyone sat on their hands, CVH flew to El Salvador and fought for Kilmar Ábrego García. He forced the Senate to vote on ending the war with Iran. And he supports ending the Senate filibuster. Voters elected a majority to fight back. It should be led by someone who's been in the fight all along. #DraftVanHollen

Over 10 million voters in California and Massachusetts said pregnant pigs shouldn't spend months in crates too small to turn around in. The Save Our Bacon Act would let Congress override them through the Farm Bill. Tell senators to reject it and click 🔗 below:

When we return next week, we’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote. Survivors will be able to get their own records, State Attorneys General can prosecute crimes, and we can take the DOJ to court for keeping critical files hidden.⚖️

Congress wants to pass BAAJA in the lame-duck session, and one provision would let Trump’s regulators approve high-voltage power lines your state already rejected, including the ones feeding data centers.

A federal permit comes with eminent domain, so a company could take your land for them. Call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to take Section 2101 out of the bill.
