Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is unfit to serve. He leaked classified information on Signal, potentially putting military pilots at risk. He then refused to cooperate with the IG. He lied about a war crime, and then threw Admiral Bradley under the bus. Hegseth must resign.

BREAKING NEWS: Pentagon IG says of Hegseth's use of Signal, "The information could have imperiled American troops." If Hegseth values our troops as much as he says he does, he should resign and allow someone more experienced to lead the Department of Defense.

Trump’s economy sucks. 32,000 jobs were lost in the private sector last month. The policies of Trump and rubber stamp Republicans are crushing the American people. And what is Trump focused on? Making his Great Gatsby ballroom even bigger. And sleeping at Cabinet meetings.

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

Killing shipwrecked survivors is a war crime. There must be an investigation and accountability, including for Secretary Hegseth who lied.

AI has made it easier for scammers to take advantage of people. We need to implement sensible guardrails on the ways AI can be used to cause harm. That’s why we introduced the bipartisan AI Fraud Deterrence Act to combat fraud committed with AI.

The bipartisan bill seeks to combat rising AI fraud threat with harsh penalties for wire fraud, money laundering, impersonation.

NEW: The governor of West Virginia says that two members of the state National Guard shot today in DC have died.

Tweet from West Virginia governor Patrick Morrisey:

It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries. These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country. We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues.
Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones, and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability for this horrific act.

Pleased to introduce bipartisan legislation with Rep Dunn to crack down on fraud and scams committed with AI, including deepfakes.

Pleased to introduce the AI Fraud Deterrence Act today with Rep. Dunn which would expand penalties for AI scams and deepfakes, including impersonations of federal officials. Our bipartisan goal is simple: Deter people from using AI to commit fraud.

At the top, a red “exclusive” box is above white text from an NBC headline that reads, “Proposed AI fraud bill seeks to criminalize deepfakes of federal officials,” overlayed a darkened picture of the Capitol. At the bottom is a photo of Rep. Ted Lieu outlined in red with a tweet from Jared Polo that reads, “Exclusive: New proposed AI fraud bill will seek to criminalize deepfakes of federal officials (outside of satire, etc.) The bill, from @RepTedLieu (D-Ca.) and @DrNealDunnFL2 (R-Fl.), would also update definitions and penalties for fraud to account for the rise of AI” and a screenshot from the top of Rep. Lieu's bill.

Want another example of the White House treating Republican Members like garbage? The WH is trying, again, to jam through an unrelated AI moratorium on states after the first try failed 99-1. The White House has largely ignored rank and file Republican Members on AI issues.

Ahead of Thanksgiving and amid frustration among American consumers over affordability, President Trump has recently insisted, often wrongly, that prices and costs were coming down. Here is a fact-check of some of his recent claims.

Southern California has been experiencing severe rainstorms, which is stress testing our region’s critical infrastructure. Pleased to announce I fought for and secured federal funding for Rolling Hills Estates to repair and upgrade stormwater resilience projects.

White and yellow text on a black background read: “CONGRESSMAN LIEU SECURES $750,000 FOR ROLLING HILLS ESTATES” and “This funding will help Rolling Hills Estates repair storm drains and install a dry-well system to divert stormwater from entering the Los Angeles Harbor.” At the bottom is a picture of water drainage.

Unemployment is now the highest it’s been since 2021. Trump and Republicans need to take their heads out of the sand and focus on the economy and affordability.

When your defense is that Trump publicly being a sexist, vulgar old man is better than Trump privately being a sexist, vulgar old man, you are losing. Also for the MAGA folks desperately trying to explain Trump said something else, here is the WH doubling down.

It is abhorrent that the President just threatened death upon members of Congress. We must condemn all threats of political violence, especially when they come from someone who has incited a violent attack on the Capitol.
