Here are the 11 Democrats who couldn’t be bothered to show up to impeach war criminal Pete Hegseth:
Nancy Pelosi (CA-11)
Haley Stevens (MI-11)
Julia Brownley (CA-26)
Lou Correa (CA-46)
Laura Gillen (NY-4)
Steven Horsford (NV-4)
Jonathan Jackson (IL-1)
Brittany Pettersen (CO-7)
Melanie Stansbury (NM-1)
Marilyn Strickland (WA-10)
Frederica Wilson (FL-24)
If these 11 Democrats had showed up, Hegseth would’ve been impeached 215-211.
There are no excuses left to make. The Democrats couldn’t even show up to hold a war criminal accountable who bombed an elementary school and mass murdered children.
THROWBACK 🗽: Did you know NYC has privately owned public spaces (POPS) that are legally required to be open to the public?
I went to 780 Third Avenue in Manhattan after learning that people were allegedly being prevented from sitting in a space meant for public use.
Your first clue that the Democratic party isn’t democratic is that for decades it has rigged its primaries for its preferred corporate candidate with superdelegates, media collusion, and backroom deals.
Your second clue is that it kicks third parties off the ballot and brainwashes its voters to think that by destroying democracy they are somehow “saving” it.
Your third clue is that the party funded a genocide in Gaza and when students protested the genocide a Democrat president condemned the student protesters and continued funding the genocide.
Your fourth clue is that the party rails against corporate money and billionaire-funded elections while taking corporate money and being funded by billionaires.
Your fifth clue is that the party does not serve the will of the people and installs corrupt corporate politicians into leadership positions like it is doing right now with Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.
Your sixth clue is that when the party is in power it does not pass policies that benefit the people. It funds war, bloated military and police budgets, corporate welfare, and most egregious a for-profit health insurance plan that kills 100,000 people a year.
These are not hallmarks of a democratic party that serves the people. They are all hallmarks of an authoritarian capitalist party that is resisting change in order to serve its corporate donors and protect the failed status quo.
A Wisconsin State Trooper was detained by ICE for 24 hours.
Carel Aaron Van Der Merwe, 21, immigrated legally to the United States with his family at age 14 and has spent the last 7 years waiting for his asylum application to be adjudicated.
DHS issued him a federal work permit valid through 2030, which cleared him to be a cop.
And yet, despite all this, ICE still arrested him at an airport in Madison while boarding a flight.
He showed them a valid work permit and his pending asylum status, but according to his legal team, the ICE agents told him they "did not care," put him in handcuffs, and then transferred him to the Dodge County Detention Facility.
Van Der Merwe was released, but he's still under supervision with electronic monitoring while his deportation and removal proceedings continue before an immigration judge.
