This is former USN Admiral Eileen Laubacher, I say former because in his purge of senior military ( mostly female) Hegseth fired her. Yesterday she beat Lauren Boebert in the election and is now in the congress. She will be on the select committee to interrogate him

We did it! Jessica Killin has made history! The first Democrat & woman elected 2 represent CO-5! El Paso County voters made it clear! Rubber-stamping Trump's agenda over their needs comes with consequences, sending Jeff Crank packing. Congratulations, Jessica! On to Washington!

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face. These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first. We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy. While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.

BREAKING: SWEET REVENGE! The Navy Admiral who Pete Hegseth fired DEFEATS her MAGA opponent to win a House seat in South Carolina — cementing the blue tsunami with a poetic flourish! This is just too beautiful... Democrat Nancy Lacore, a 35-year Navy veteran who rose through the ranks from helicopter pilot to become Chief of Navy Reserve, was fired in August of 2025 amid Hegseth's purging of high-ranking women in the military. While no official reason was given, the deeply misogynistic Hegseth has not been coy about his caveman belief that only testosterone-injecting men should serve. Lacore has now defeated Republican Jenny Costa Honeycutt to seize a seat that was formerly held by MAGA lunatic Nancy Mace who launched a failed bid for the governor's mansion this year. Lacore has not been shy about criticizing Hegseth's disastrous mismanagement of the Defense Department, particularly his failed Iran War. "Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified Secretary of Defense that we have ever had, and he is doing significant damage to our military that it will really take decades to undo," she said, adding that he "needs to go." The most beautiful irony here? Congresswoman Lacore could soon be voting with the rest of the Democratic majority in the House to impeach Pete Hegseth. We have subpoena power starting in January, so we'll be able to uncover all of the gross negligence and rampant criminality that he's overseen. Ain't karma grand? Please ❤️ and share if you support impeaching Pete Hegseth!

Thank you, Donald, for all of your hard work (i.e., incompetence, corruption, treason, and betrayal of the American people) in ensuring Democrats win in a way that will make your life miserable for the next two years--and make our lives better.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Republicans are just mad they didn’t find another Mary Peltola to put on Alaska’s ballot. If they had, their response would be “Cry harder, libs.” So, in the spirit of taking your own advice: cry harder, Republicans.

If your church is telling you to vote for a political party that protects pedophiles and serial rapists, find a new church.

Answer: No one except Big Tech and data center developers. Read more about how the data center industry’s “community benefit agreements” are really just an attempt to help mega-corporations escape accountability ⬇️ foodandwaterwatch.org/news/2…

Big Tech wants us to believe that data centers are inevitable, but these facilities’ massive energy and water needs are unrealistic. Hear more from @foodandwater's Ginny Marcille-Kerslake, who’s been on the front lines of fighting data centers in PA. tiktok.com/@foodandwaterwatc…

Dolores Huerta was a hero of mine. When she co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962, people thought Dolores was crazy. “How are you going to organize farm workers,” she remembered being asked. "They are poor, powerless immigrants.” But that’s exactly what she did, helping thousands of migrant laborers working in brutal conditions make their voices heard, and demand something better. Dolores spent the rest of her life fighting for marginalized communities, even as she herself faced sexism and abuse — including, as she revealed earlier this year, from Cesar Chavez and others within her own movement. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede” — Yes, we can — that I too often get credit for. But as usual, Dolores got there first. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolores’s family, the people whose lives she changed, and everyone who drew inspiration from her example. Photo credit: National Archives, Obama Presidential Library

It's been a long road to get to Election Day, and we're almost there. As your congresswoman, I promise to never forget where I came from or who I'm working for– you.

Just a casual reminder that Germans who “didn’t bother to vote” in 1932 didn’t get a chance again until 1946, after Hitler’s death. — There’s a lesson there.

At some point we have to talk about how Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for far less than what Donald Trump did and is still actively doing.
