🚨 BREAKING: A U.S. Army Tomb Guard was forced to reprimand Pete Hegseth and his group after members of the group were caught laughing and loudly talking at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day.

“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” the guard shouted.

CNN obtained video of the incident.

SENATOR SCOTT COLOM (Mississippi)-D. In honor of all those who lost their lives in Freedom Summer. For Medgar Evers. For Fannie Lou Hammer. For our ancestors. There’s Blood on that Ballot Box.

[Donna Cassutt @dcassutt]

Outstanding. Congratulations, Senator-elect Colom!

[CNN @CNN]

Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. https://t.co/LIrSavsJ01

This Veterans Day, we pause to recognize and honor all who have served and the sacrifices veterans and their families make. We are grateful for the many ways they continue to contribute to their communities.

Today, we also remember Tomas Young, who was wounded and paralyzed while serving in Iraq. In the years that followed, Tomas became a passionate advocate for peace and justice. We continue to honor his life and legacy through the Tomas Young Scholarship, supporting veterans and their families in pursuing higher education.

Happy Veterans Day, Elijah. So, proud of my son who served in the Army as a combat medic and nurse. A great career path for him as he serves our local community as a RN everyday.

[Peggy Flanagan @peggyflanagan]

I will always remember who I’m working for - just like my hero Paul Wellstone did.

See you soon, Minnesota!

Massie: "I do have a message to the troops. This secretary has used our troops to go seize oil for large corporations in America. You shouldn't be used like that. You signed up to pledge your life for this country if need be, and that obligation shouldn't be diminished to stealing oil for big corporations."

News flash: Dem AGs won big and are ready to deliver!

Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Michigan, I cannot wait to serve you with the same big heartedness, open mindedness, grit, and earnestness that you've shown me.

You welcomed me into your homes, your churches, your synagogues, your VFW and union halls. You shared moments of frustration and sadness and vulnerability with me. You gave me grace and strength at my lowest moments and the hope and inspiration that powered my best.

I will bring it all with me to Washington in your service.

[Molly Jong-Fast @MollyJongFast]

Fired by Pete Hegseth and now will likely vote on his impeachment unless he’s resigned before January

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Pete Hegseth has grossly abused his position as Secretary of Defense.

He is waging an illegal war in Iran, conducting extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, and continues to put innocent civilians in harm's way.

Accountability is due. It's time to impeach Hegseth.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Beaming with pride that the world now gets to know my grandparents, Jan and Judy. I'm just so blessed to be their grandson.

I just finished my first day of Senate orientation — and I am so grateful.

"I Voted" stickers continue to cover the Alex Pretti Memorial. Today I saw stickers from Georgia, Wyoming, Idaho, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Massachusetts, Alabama and California.

Glam Doll Donuts across the street is accepting them via mail for those wanting to add theirs.

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.
