For his own vanity, Pete Hegseth is pulling our military leaders away from their missions around the world— At great cost to American taxpayers and our national security. In every way, this abrupt, unprecedented meeting is too high a price. I’m demanding answers.
Ahead of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s abrupt, needless and wasteful speech to much of our nation’s top military leadership on Tuesday, U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI)—members of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC)—pressed the Secretary in a letter on the serious risks that such a gathering poses to security—on top of the monstrous cost to American taxpayers as Republicans march us toward a government shutdown.

Los Angeles. D.C. Memphis. Portland. Our troops didn't sign up to intimidate their fellow Americans and be pawns in Trump's political theater. Shame on Republicans for being complicit in this abuse of our military.
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.govSep 26(source)
Republicans are marching us toward a shutdown— And the most unqualified SecDef is summoning our top military leaders from around the globe on the taxpayer's dime... So that he, of all people, could lecture them on the warrior ethos. Completely and utterly ridiculous.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a short speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos.”

Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.

Your Big Ugly Bill imposed the largest cuts to health care in U.S. history, including over $900 billion in Medicaid cuts. Rural hospitals are already shutting down and reducing services as a result. Tell Trump to stop hiding behind Truth Social and sit down with Democrats.
Senate Republicans @SenateGOP (https://x.com/SenateGOP)Democrats voted to cut $50B from rural hospitals last week, so we know they don’t actually care about access to health care. They just want to fight the President, even if they shut down the government in the process. Quote Ed Markey @SenMarkey · 3h TACO Tuesday in the Trump White House. Trump refuses to even sit down with Democrats on health care and lowering costs.
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.govSep 23(source)
Health care. We want families to have health care. When Trump rants about how "unreasonable" this is, remember that he decimated Medicaid— To gift-wrap tax cuts for his Mar-a-Lago pals. And instead of helping us fix the crisis he created, Trump is shutting down the government.

Republicans are driving us toward a shutdown and doing nothing to save your ACA tax credits. If these credits expire: — 4 million would lose coverage — 22 million would pay more for insurance — Costs would go up by $700/yr on avg That's not how you make America healthy again.

I’m in full solidarity with Granite City @steelworkers.bsky.social and I’m relieved the plant will stay open and continue receiving slabs. We must continue to make sure these jobs—with full compensation—are protected and U.S. Steel and Nippon keep their promises for the long term.
‘Right thing to do’: Steelworkers rally in Granite City for long-term commitments
“Let’s get back to making American-made steel here in Granite City, Illinois,” a union leader said.

Military morale is on the line. Trump is ripping our National Guardsmen away from their families and jobs not to defend the nation— But to do his political dirty work here in D.C. This is not what our troops signed up for.

Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.govSep 20(source)
When “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ended, we made clear: no one willing to sacrifice for this country should ever be told to hide who they are. Trump and Hegseth’s attacks on LGBTQ+ servicemembers take us back to a dark chapter in history—undermining morale, readiness and security.

ABC is a mega donor to Trump—and fired Jimmy Kimmel because Trump’s FCC said to. Even Ted Cruz agrees that this sets off a slippery slope in censorship. Senate Democrats are urging him to call on the FCC Chair to testify before Congress. Our constitutional rights are at stake.
A letter by Senate Commerce Committee Democrats to Chair Cruz requesting that he call Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr to testify before the Committee following his threats to use the regulatory power of the FCC to compel ABC to fire comedian Jimmy Kimmel.

Tear-gassing Americans exercising their constitutional rights. Cancelling critics and threatening to deploy the military against citizens. With every passing day, Trump is unraveling the freedoms that define American democracy—
 We will not be silenced.

Here’s the thing: Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House. If they pass this dirty bill, they own the health care crisis. If it fails, they own the shutdown. That’s what you get when you go at it alone. Whatever outcome—Republicans will only have themselves to blame.
