🔥 PETE ON HEGSETH-GATE: “An epic fuck-up… these are not serious people… if there are no consequences, all the bluster from Trump about merit was bullshit… we deserve so much better…”

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

SecDef Hegseth once said: “Any security professional would be fired on the spot and prosecuted for this kind of reckless conduct.” Today, he’s the one endangering national security. By his own standard, he should be gone.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

America, This is our Germany 1933 moment. Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond. This is beyond party, beyond country. This is about our collective humanity. #Ukraine

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are *trying* to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.

The Trump Administration has done more damage to the United States, our institutions, our interests, our standing in the world, the world order we have fought and sacrificed for a century to establish in the past four weeks than all the enemies of the US managed to inflict during the past 250 years.
