Then maybe show up to vote for it.
PETE HEGSETH OUT NOW.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
11 house democrats were absent for this vote, and had they not been absent and voted with their caucus Pete Hegseth would have been impeached by the house.
In effect, both the Democrats and Republicans both protected Pete Hegseth. Procedure is weaponized by both sides.

The letter — which Trump wrote by hand using his signature black Sharpie — is printed in Biden’s forthcoming presidential memoir.

There are other points to explain this perceived underperformance including the racist attacks against Abdul and Jackson’s late entrance into the race. Further, recent polling confirms that Americans have lost support for Israel due to their Gaza campaign.
Listen to the Crooked Con panelist from J Street say that Abdul and Troy Jackson didn’t perform “as well as others” because they described Gaza as a genocide and then the speaker gets booed by the crowd and says “Boo if you want, I’m right”

Y’all we have less than two months left in the current Congress. She has ruined her reputation. We have bigger fish to fry.
Nancy Pelosi on Kicking Haley Stevens Out of the Caucus:
We have a few more weeks of being in Congress, so I don’t think we should start making judgments about anybody in the caucus at this point.
I was disappointed. I conveyed that to her. I want to be helpful to her in terms of how she deals with this, but I’m not supporting kicking her out.
Let’s focus on the very positive

Dems, do not squander this. They’ve only people want you to start playing hard ball.
1. Implement progressive policies
2. Foolproof your majorities and your policies from GOP sabotage
2. Win the next election
Today's update:
Democrats have gained 545 seats in state legislatures this year. They've officially gained more seats than in 1964, when Lyndon Johnson won by a landslide.

Such a massive slap in the face to credit Momdani for the blue wave when you have Black women working tirelessly to make sure EVERY VOTE IS COUNTED.
Young Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. My story (gift link) on the phenomenon: wapo.st/4AbqTpg
