@andersoncooper I just watched you reporting on how Trump demeans woman journalists. I would like you to interview some of the men and ask why don't they call out Trump when he is doing this. Thank you
Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him—and this or any administration—accountable. His unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: if you speak out and say something that the President or Secretary of Defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion, or even prosecuted.
Every servicemember knows military rank is earned, not given. It's earned through the risks you take, the sacrifices you and your family make, the leadership you display, and the respect you earn from the superiors who recommend you for promotion. From the moment I drove through the gates of Naval Air Station Pensacola, to when I was shot at over Iraq and Kuwait, to when I landed Space Shuttle Endeavour on its last mission, I gave everything I had to this country and I earned my rank of Captain, United States Navy.
Now, Pete Hegseth wants our longest-serving military veterans to live with the constant threat that they could be deprived of their rank and pay years or even decades after they leave the military just because he or another Secretary of Defense doesn’t like what they’ve said. That’s not the way things work in the United States of America, and I won’t stand for it.
In 1986, at just 22 years old, I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. I have fulfilled that oath every day since, but I never expected that I would have to defend it against a Secretary of Defense or President. But I’ve never shied away from a fight for our country, and I won’t shy away from this one. Because our freedom of speech, the separation of powers, and due process are not just words on a page, they are bedrock principles of our democracy that has lasted 250 years and will last 250 more as long as patriotic Americans are willing to stand up for our rights.
So today, I filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of Defense because there are few things as important as standing up for the rights of the very Americans who fought to defend our freedoms.
JD Vance: What makes the president so successful is that he has the best instincts about people of anybody that I’ve ever seen in my life.
Strange, given how many of his own cabinet members he later fired and called stupid and incompetent.
RFK Jr - "We need to PREVENT disease not just treat it. We need a health care service not a sick care service"
Great idea.
You know what's a phenomenally effective way to prevent disease - VACCINES!
Protesters in wheelchairs cuffed with zip-ties because they had the audacity to protest against dictator-wannabe Trump's cruel and barbaric Medicaid cuts, which will leave 16 million Americans without health care insurance. 🥺👇
Rep. Ruiz: "Did you read the report and fact check its sources?"
Kennedy: "I did not fact check."
Rep. Ruiz: " Why did the report include citations to sources that don't even exist?"
Kennedy: "The foundational assertions were accurate."
Rep. Ruiz: "They don't exist!"
Your dad had sex with a porn star two months after your little brother was born to your second step-mom. He has talked in public many times about dating your sister. He was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein.
He had sex with your first step-mom and bragged about it in public while still married to your mom.
Maybe the Nobel Prize Committee doesn’t want to associate itself with Jerry Springer level white trash.
HOLY SHIT, they are zip-tying and arresting disabled people in wheelchairs in Washington DC, protesting Trump's cruel and DEVASTATING cuts to Medicaid!
This is insane.
Spread this everywhere!
