#Duckworth owning #Hegseth.

On Monday, the Senate armed services committee approved Pete #Hegseth’s nomination,
But he awaits confirmation by the full chamber.
In a joint statement, Elizabeth #Warren, Tim #Kaine, Mark #Kelly, Mazie #Hirono, Richard #Blumenthal, Tammy #Duckworth, Jeanne #Shaheen and Kirsten #Gillibrand
👉 demand meetings with Pete Hegseth before the full Senate votes on his confirmation:
The senator's joint statement reads:
"In a sworn statement under the penalty of perjury, a new report shows U.S. Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth was ‘erratic and aggressive’ toward his second wife over many years, to the point that she feared for her safety.
The report also details repeated instances of his drinking alcohol in excess, including the need to be dragged out of a strip club while in uniform.
This affidavit is part of a disturbing pattern of behavior that has been documented through numerous public and private reports.
The affidavit also raises additional questions about the thoroughness of his FBI background check during a rushed confirmation process.
Despite repeated requests, Mr. Hegseth has refused to meet with the vast majority of Democratic members of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
We request that Mr. Hegseth meet privately with every interested lawmaker on the committee before the Senate votes on his nomination
so that we can have frank discussions about the new information that has come to light.
It would be irresponsible and contrary to our constitutional duty for the Senate to vote to confirm this nomination before such meetings have occurred."

The recklessness of #MAGA. There is of course depravity and carelessness but #Duckworth gets at another profound problem with this incoming group of losers and fascists.

“The manager of the average Applebee’s has probably managed more people than Pete #Hegseth,” Duckworth said during a press call Friday, referring to Trump’s nominee to head the Pentagon.

Sen Tammy #Duckworth discusses the effort to interfere with DOD/VA healthcare for military women serving in theofascist red states. AL Sen Tommy #Tuberville, one of the dumbest white men in the Congress, is blocking confirmations of military promotions, causing disruption DOD wide. AL is chock full of military personnel & employees who are here because of their jobs and those who vote here won't forget this.

"Senator Kaine championing bill to fund long COVID research"

"Virginia Senator Tim Kaine (D) is championing the Care for Long COVID Act. It is designed to boost research and find long COVID treatments.

Kaine says that about half a million unemployment applications are backed up because of how many people are filing due to long COVID. It’s something he says he wants to mitigate in the long run."
