Just called my 2 Senators here in Connecticut and said it is time to do more than give speeches in light of what happened to Senator Padilla this afternoon. I suggested every Democratic Senator show up at a Krista Noem presser and ask questions. Yes, all 47 of them.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

TURNER: You are not confirming in your testimony that the Pentagon has plans for invading Greenland? That is not your testimony today. HEGSETH: We have plans for any number of contingencies TURNER: I sure as hell hope that it is not your testimony HEGSETH: 😏

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

🔥Rufus Gifford, former U.S. amb. to Denmark, unloaded on JD Vance for saying Denmark “is not a good ally”: Go to Denmark and say it to the faces of the parents of the young men and women who lost their lives alongside U.S. troops. Say it to them!

It’s hard to watch the faces of the amazing men and women in uniform behind Vance today has he repeatedly disparaged Denmark. They work with the Danes every day. They know what a fantastic ally they are. They know how important the partnership is. And they know he’s clueless.

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-signal...

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

Buttigieg: What if this had, in fact, gone to somebody else? I mean, somebody who could plausibly be in some of these people's cell phones. I don't know, the Chinese ambassador or Russian negotiator. And the other question on my mind is how many other times has something like this happened?

Soooooo we thinking old Pete was drunk or the job or what? It would be funny, if it wasn’t scary! Maybe we need some DEI (definitely earned it) hires to get this shit together because the incompetence is OVERWHELMINGLY problematic.
