This is truly abhorrent. Pete Hegseth doesn't know how to conduct himself, even at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
His behavior is unbecoming of any visitor to the Tomb, let alone that which comes from a Secretary of Defense.
Scott Colom to MeidasTouch in 2025: We’re going to show the country Mississippi matters this election cycle. Last governor’s race, we had a candidate lose against a Republican incumbent by 27,000 votes. We are a competitive state whenever we get the resources to get our message out.
And let me tell you about my priorities, my first two priorities. We have to raise the minimum wage. You know, a place like Mississippi, we don’t have a state minimum wage.
So the $7.25 that everybody knows nobody can live on, right? That’s the minimum wage in Mississippi. We have to boost that. And for everybody out there that says, “Well, I’m not making the minimum wage, so that doesn’t help me.” Yes, it does, because one of the things that raising the floor does is it boosts all wages.
And so we have to do that. That’s going to be one of my big priorities. And the second one is we have to repeal these health care cuts. We have to repeal the health care cuts. We have to save Mississippi hospitals. So I’m going to repeal those health care cuts. I’m going to save Mississippi hospitals.
And I want to make one final point for everybody out there who somehow thinks Mississippi is not going to be competitive. The Republican Party is already spending money against me. They know Mississippi is competitive. That’s why they’re trying to stop me from getting momentum. And so what I need is the resources to fight that, because we have to get on offense.
One week ago, America repudiated the corruption, chaos, and cruelty of Trump.
But the fight is not over yet.
We must push Democrats to heed their populist mandate, reject Big Money, and embrace bold solutions like Medicare for All.
Amid all the amazing victories last Tuesday, don't forget this one:
➡️ Minnesotans re-elected Rep. Rep. Ilhan Omar, whom Trump has made a key target of his bigoted attacks and weaponization of the Justice Department, with an astonishing 76.5% of her district's vote.
We look forward to Rep. Omar pissing Trump off for the next two years!

JUST NOW: Joe Biden breaks down in tears as he surprises his son Hunter Biden in Dublin, who is receiving a student award at Trinity College.
Hunter was awarded the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse.
Love this!
BREAKING: We just filed a complaint urging the OSC to recommend that President Trump fire White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
There is no excuse whatsoever for his repeated and egregious Hatch Act violations. https://t.co/YH7g9UFsz9

@AuthorMJClifton Oopsies!
Democrats will #HoldTheCrooksAccountable & the far left need to put their energy into attacking Republicans instead of Democrats, FFS!
A lesser known story: Democrat Dan McDow jsut flipped Florida State House seat for Palm Bay after a recount.

Today, we released a report detailing the findings and recommendations from our review of the federal government’s mishandling of the Epstein and Maxwell cases.
Our mission was clear: bring transparency to the American people and accountability for survivors.
Over the past 15 months, Chairman @RepJamesComer led an investigation that included 19 interviews and depositions, numerous subpoenas, a review of financial records, and more.
Here's what we found. 👇🏻
Rep.-Elect Bennett: People would always ask me what it was like to be a helicopter pilot as a woman. And I would always say, “The helicopter doesn’t know what gender it is. You just got to get the job done.”
And I’m very proud to have been part of a small group of women. When I was in the military, only 6% of women were naval aviators, and I was also the 18th woman to be a Navy test pilot.
And so, ultimately, we should be recruiting our best and brightest from every background and every walk of life. And that’s part of the beauty of the military, is that we’re a melting pot of the entire country.
And the fact that we are seeing Pete Hegseth single-handedly target women and people of color, again, is making our military less effective, and it is harming our national security.
I’ve got a bill to increase the minimum wage to $20/hr and peg it to inflation so it doesn’t fall behind again.
When Democrats finally take back power, the American people expect us to wield it.
So, let’s wield it.
