This report sends a really clear signal: Hegseth—who never should have been nominated—needs to resign or be removed.

HUGE UPDATE: The Newport helicopter is back to stay!
Trump is literally playing with fire by undermining wildfire prevention efforts—and it’s our communities that will get burned.
Absolutely despicable. If you had one iota of doubt that Trump’s plan all along was to take food off the tables of vulnerable families, let that doubt be crushed.
This is about causing maximum pain and playing political games with people’s lives.
We’re keeping the pressure on to make sure the Justice Department follows the law and RELEASES THE FILES.
Epstein’s victims deserve accountability and justice.
Scoop: 5 lawmakers are asking AG Pam Bondi for a status update on releasing the Epstein files
Merkley, Murkowski, Lujan, Massie & Khanna want to know if Trump adm is on track to comply with the law's 30-day deadline.
They want a briefing by THIS FRIDAY.

Major Pete Hegseth, in 2016: "... that's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their Commander in Chief. There’s a standard. There’s an ethos.
Me in 2025: "You can refuse illegal orders."
Watch for yourself.
First, Trump conducts extrajudicial murders of boaters in the Caribbean and Pacific suspected of transporting drugs destined for Europe.
Then, Trump pardons the drug kingpin who built the cocaine superhighway to the U.S.
In no way do those decisions put America—or Americans—first.
As Trump rips health care and SNAP away from MILLIONS of Americans, he’s making sure he and his family grow richer and richer.
He will never put the American people ahead of his quest to enrich himself.

Trumpflation is destroying middle America.
Trump’s tariffs are making everything more expensive, including groceries.
Trump's love for fossil fuel is driving up utility prices.
Trump's cuts to health care are doubling insurance costs.
Its families lose and billionaires win.

Trump's crypto memecoin.
Multi-million dinners with CEOs.
Firing independent officials in charge of rooting out corruption.
Giant tax cuts to Trump's billionaire friends.
Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in our nation's history.

Leadership climate is set at the top. So, when President Trump calls for me to be killed and hanged, many people take that as license to call into my office and say even worse. youtube.com/shorts/4rP7Y...
An incredible advancement in the race to save the iconic monarch butterfly!
Trumpflation is putting pressure on small businesses. Burley Design in Eugene is an Oregon gem that has helped folks explore their community by bike for nearly 50 years—I heard from folks there about how chaotic tariffs make it difficult to operate their family-owned business.
Looking Glass Community Services has enriched the lives of folks in the Eugene area since 1970. I learned about their Rural Program and the vital resources it offers homeless youth, creating long-term solutions that improve the quality of their lives. Such important work.
I’m keeping the pressure up until the Epstein Files are released!
A beautiful journey—only recently made possible again by historic dam removals. The Klamath River has rich cultural significance for Tribes who have been stewards of these lands and waters since time immemorial. Amazing to see young people make this trip.
South Lane Clinic in Cottage Grove is doing essential work to connect rural communities with the health services they need in the face of Republican attacks on health care.
Everyone should have access to the care they need—and clinics like this are a key piece of the puzzle.
My heart is with the families, loved ones, and communities of the two National Guard members shot in D.C.
Violence is never the answer and this is a tragedy.
This brings tears to my eyes. Literally.
Thank you everyone who has been advocating for Mohammed's release.
This makes my Thanksgiving.
Let's continue to seek the release of so many around the world unjustly detained.
The Burmese military junta unleashed horrific violence against its own people—killing civilians and crushing dissent.
Ripping TPS away from those who fled that brutality and rebuilt their lives here in the U.S. is morally bankrupt.
