Did you know our full-time staff are all veterans? Each had their own crisis of conscience, and now dedicate themselves to helping other service members refuse participation on war.
Meet them here for Veterans Day: https://t.co/52wdIALUUw
ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC ****WHIP**** WAS THROWING THE FUNDRAISING BASH THAT KEPT DEMOCRATS FROM VOTING TO SEND THE HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO THE FLOOR.
Per several members: Some of the House Democrats who missed the Hegseth impeachment vote were on their way back from an Elect Democratic Women event at a venue about 1.5 miles down Pennsylvania Ave but got caught in a bumper-to-bumper traffic jam on Independence Ave. (the road on the House side of the Capitol complex).
Some members found other ways to get back to the Capitol because their cars were effectively stopped on the road. One got out and walked. Another got dropped off on the Senate side to avoid the traffic.
NEW EPISODE for Veterans Day: We’re joined by @Jasper_Craven, who reads us the illuminating introduction to his new book on how the military shapes “manhood” (and the soldiers who break the spell) https://t.co/0iQQIkA4a2
I asked Hakeem Jeffries about attendance appearing decisive in the Pete Hegseth vote. (11 House Dems did not vote tonight.)
He told me and reporters: "I haven't had a conversation with anyone on the floor team about what may or may not have happened in terms of the Hegseth resolution, but this is not the end of it. It's just the beginning."
Historic Dem victory in ‘08 over Iraq War. 8yrs of more death let Trump’s “anti-war” rhetoric propel him through the primary & general; a promise he abandoned then lost to Biden. The Gaza War proved consequential in Harris’ loss. Now, another historic swing on anti-war sentiments
TOMORROW, 29OCT, 1700PST: Past, present and prospective Conscientious Objectors are welcome to join us for our monthly peer-to-peer support meeting.

Vance is confronted by the emotional husband of a soldier killed in Iran War and acts like he had no idea anyone ever died:
Q: It's a hard price to pay. There's a failure in the leadership. How will the leadership be held accountable?
Vance: If there were failures... This is the first time I've heard of this.
It’s gonna be a Bernie-endorsed candidate vs. 50 Shades of Centrists who all conspire with the DNC to tank the progressive and eventually coalesce around the unpopular Harris
Kamala Harris says her and Biden’s administration should have acted “sooner and more forcefully” regarding Israel’s attack on Gaza — and that the Trump administration “offers Netanyahu a blank check”:
“America has at times fallen short on [moral obligation to human rights and international law]. Most recently, the failure to use our leverage to curtail the Israeli government's horrific conduct in the war in Gaza, both under the current administration, which offers Netanyahu a blank check, and our administration before, where we should have acted sooner and more forcefully.”
UPDATE | Dec. 3 will be the date for the execution by firing squad of a former Army officer who killed 13 people in a 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, according to the acting secretary of the Army.
