I've heard reports that the military branches paused sexual assault prevention and response trainings. That's horrific, against the law, and disastrous for our ability to recruit, retain, and protect women. Secretary Hegseth, you have some explaining to do. Stay tuned for my oversight letter.

Will Joni follow up?
To clarify, this isn’t saying 6% of female service members have been sexually assaulted at one time, it means each and every year, 6% of that years enlisted service women have been sexually assaulted.

Who will listen?
Who has the power to enforce the laws? Not the courts. They can rule, but it is up to law enforcement to enforce those rulings. The King is in 100% control of law enforcement now.

So, Army (land), Air Force (air), Navy (global seas), Marines (anti-terror*st), ISN'T a strength???
So he will never answer for it! He's proud it's happening all the GQP are!
congress is looking WEAK in comparison to how OTHER countries stand up for their voters.
2) i obviously didn’t mean literally scale a wall you ignorant moose.
2) THE WHAT TF ELSE WOULD BE ILLEGAL YOU ILLITERATE SWINE
Discussions of arrest have so far focused on merely forcing Erik Prince's mercenaries aside
You’re expecting the handpicked SA hire of Rapey McRapeface to explain himself? He’s just doing what it says on the tin.
Republican oldfashioned rats.
Dems need to move well beyond letters at this point. Get Creative!
It's the most pro-rape administration in history. Full stop.
There’s a song by Delilah Bon that works well in this instance. Iykyk
@joniernst.bsky.social
It’s going to get FAR FAR FAR WORSE, if Dems don’t stand up and fight like it’s for the life of our nation.
Women, POC, disabled, veterans, gay, minorities, anyone "non standard" sexually?
"Those people" should live in ghettos and work as slaves.
They will reinstate Jim Crow laws. History is repeating itself.
where are its offices located?
what is its charter?
who are its officers?
where can i find its bylaws, policies, and procedures?
by what authority does it act?
to whom is it accountable?
to what oversight is it subject?
just asking questions"

I don’t get it. This is exactly what they said they’d do.
I guess flooding society with firearms didn't make it tyranny proof.
I feel like I’ve gone insane
what was their plan given project 25, or did they have no plan B to save democracy? It’s crazy
Not even recounts/audits then they did a peaceful transfer of power ffs. people still don’t seem to know what’s happened, dems need to get loud & change the tactics
WTAF!
Every woman should quit the military! No women should sign up!
It's a disgusting murder machine for US hegemony, which is patriarchal (among other things), which is why it doesn't care about rape.
They depend on themselves & each other.
Along with a taser and bear spray
Now that Hegseth has been installed to corrupt what was not already corrupt, I see little possibility of change unless women start standing up.
AS LONG AS PETE HEGSETH IS SECDEF…..
I would advise them against enlisting.
Wow, democrats are not very good a fighting fascism.
#ZeroConsequences
#ZeroAccountability
So the MagatRs can shagg off.
WHY IS THIS NOT BEING TREATED LIKE AN EMERGENCY?!
BE S. KOREA
A real stern letter, maybe an op-ed?
Spit balling - call for a womens march & sit down at the pentagon?
Pigsex will laugh at your stern letter ! Just fyi !
There’s a whole lot of caring going on over there.
Women in sensitive spaces need to consider defensive arms.
great.
and his religious Base back him
any more questions......
Absolutely nothing!
They’re going to make it as hard and painful as humanly possible for any woman.
I’m sure rape will be used consistently and with full approval of the leaders.
Replaced with what, pranking fun and profit?
I believe we need to change the culture in the military.
However…
A lot of the training that refers to sexual assault etc, actually teaches the perpetrators how to not be caught.
It’s usually written by men.
67% of military voted for Trump.
Focus energy on what we can accomplish.
Call for immediate hearings to investigate why SAPR training was paused and the impact on service members.
Push for legislative action (amendments to the NDAA) to mandate continued SAPR training.
Public condemnation of his decision should add pressure to Secretary Hegseth
When enough people get angry, organized, and loud, politicians either:
Give in and fix it.
Try to quietly reverse course without admitting fault.
Double down until it becomes unsustainable.
Too stupid to understand that it was the ACA under a different name. 🤦♀️
Basket of deplorables was insulting.
Has an insult ever changed your mind?
If anything, it made them more attached to trump.
