Leaders must be of the highest integrity to ask people to risk their lives in battle. Hegseth lied, refused to acknowledge any blame, and did not take any responsibility for the Signal fiasco. He is not a leader worthy of his position, and we should demand his resignation.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.
