[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

I am beyond disappointed in my colleagues on the other side of the aisle for effectively killing Rep. Thomas Massie’s impeachment resolution. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. He was entrusted with the lives and well-being of the brave men and women who serve our country and with national security decisions that carry life-or-death consequences. Our service members have answered their nation’s call with courage, sacrifice, and professionalism. They deserve leadership that takes their safety and well-being as seriously as they take their mission. Instead, Hegseth has repeatedly demonstrated recklessness, incompetence, and arrogance, putting our national security and the lives of our service members at risk.

His conduct represents a profound failure of leadership and a betrayal of the principles our Armed Forces are sworn to defend. From his handling of the war in Iran and deadly strikes on boats in international waters to his sharing of sensitive military operational information on Signal, Hegseth has repeatedly demonstrated a disturbing disregard for the law, congressional oversight, and the responsibilities of his role. These actions raise serious questions about potential violations of federal and international law, including the laws of armed conflict. Congress must thoroughly investigate his misconduct, uncover the full extent of his actions, and hold him accountable. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to hold the executive branch accountable, particularly when the conduct of senior officials threatens our national security and the lives of those who serve.

Impeachment is not a tool to be used lightly, but it is one the Constitution provides for circumstances of grave misconduct. That is why I supported the effort to impeach Secretary Pete Hegseth. Unfortunately, the House voted to block that effort from moving forward. But this vote does not erase his misconduct, nor does it absolve Congress of its responsibility to hold him accountable. Our service members deserve better, the American people deserve answers, and I will continue fighting to ensure that no official entrusted with our nation's security is above accountability.

Jason Crow, Lauren Underwood, and Morgan McGarvey deserve enormous credit for the Democrats’ midterm victories. As the DCCC’s recruitment co-chairs, they helped recruit the candidates who delivered.

They didn't just help win an election. They helped build the team that won it.

Republicans gave ICE $200 billion over the last two years. It’s time for the American people to take it back.

Trump, Hegseth and other conservatives want to bury Black history. When they do that they bury the history of White abolitionists along with it.
They say talking about slavery makes White kids feel bad. Why not teach White kids to be proud of the abolitionists? Can't have it both ways.

Most protein powder is made for 25-year-old gym rats.

Past 60, your body treats protein differently. More scoops of the same stuff won’t change that.

Here’s what’s different about this one:

Steph Curry calls out Nick Young, Gilbert Arenas, and everyone else talking about Ayesha Curry, telling them to keep his wife’s name out of their mouths 😳

There was no such thing as white people in the 1600s.

Europeans didn’t call themselves white.

They called themselves English, Irish, German, Italian.

And they hated each other.

The English despised the Irish.

Northern Italians didn’t even recognize southern Italians as equals.
Germans fought everybody.

There was no “white team.” No shared identity.

Just Europeans killing Europeans over land, religion, and power.

That’s the actual history of Europe. Then suddenly, mid-1600s in the American colonies, something changed. “White” was invented. Why? Because the colonial elite the rich landowners could count.

They looked around and realized they were outnumbered. Badly. African slaves, European indentured servants, poor peasants who had no land and no future. Together, they were a threat.

So the rich did what they’ve always done: they divided them. They created “whiteness” as a concept and gave poor Europeans just enough legal protections, small privileges, the promise that they’d never be at the bottom to make sure they’d never unite with enslaved Africans.

It worked. Poor whites started policing Black people instead of fighting the system exploiting them both. And that’s the con. The whole history of America is rich white men convincing poor white people that their enemies are Black and Brown not the system keeping them all broke.

@mmpadellan Saying the machines are far more important than the voter is likely an indicator of how he got installed for a second term.
