Another thing the Democratic leadership needs to implement is the end of multi-week recesses. We sent you there to solve major problems. Take vacations once those problems are solved.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, the bar has been raised
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark told Democrats during this morning’s whip meeting that the 11 members who missed yesterday’s vote on referring the Hegseth impeachment articles to committee had disappointed the American people, per a person in the room.
Clark acknowledged that full attendance wouldn’t have changed the outcome but stressed that members have a responsibility to show up for the people who elected them. She reiterated leadership’s expectation that Democrats be present for votes during the lame-duck session.
A second person told me Clark’s sentiment represented serveral rank-and-file members who were also frustrated by the attention the absences attracted online after the vote.

One of the most meaningful parts of my time as First Lady was spending time with our nation’s remarkable veterans and military families. On Veterans Day, we recognize their extraordinary valor, service, and sacrifice for our nation. Let’s make sure that we show them how much we appreciate everything they do.

House Republicans just jammed through a bill to CUT veterans benefits on Veterans Day. Plenty of money for tax giveaways for billionaires and corporations, but they have no problem slashing veterans’ benefits.
I will keep fighting this betrayal of my fellow veterans and right-wing efforts to gut and privatize the VA.

If you’ve ever been to the spot at Arlington where Hegseth got reprimanded, you know it’s one of the most solemn, heaviest, emotional places in America. Most would never dream of being loud or laughing while we are there. But Hegseth, on Vet’s Day of all days, is a classless ass.

BREAKING: Mike Johnson has just lost his ability to block a House vote on the next Epstein files bill.
A new discharge petition has officially reached 218 signatures, with EVERY House Democrat joining FOUR Republicans: Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, Ralph Norman, and Brian Fitzpatrick.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act II would allow survivors, state attorneys general, and members of Congress to take the DOJ to COURT for unlawfully withholding Epstein records.
The American people deserve transparency. Epstein's survivors deserve answers. And nobody should be above accountability, regardless of how wealthy, powerful, or politically connected they are.
Johnson can no longer block the bill through the usual committee process, although procedural steps remain before a floor vote.

It is not appropriate to laugh outside the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a member of the Army’s Old Guard reminds Hegseth’s group. On Veterans Day.

House floor is frozen right now, after Republicans voice voted a VA bill and no Democrat called for a roll call vote.
Republicans said Democrats simply neglected to ask for a roll-call vote, allowing the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act to immediately move to the Senate.
Rep. Mark Takano of California, the top Democrat on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said he and his staff were “engaged in negotiations” about last-minute changes to the bill — drawing them away from the podium — when the measure was passed. He said no Democrat asked for the recorded tally “because of the treachery and trickery of the majority.”
“While these negotiations are going, they rammed through this vote,” he said.

HOUSE MINORITY WHIP KATHERINE CLARK's office sent out this note to members about the TCAVA vote:
"After publicly announcing a recorded vote on TCAVA, House Republicans asked if RM Takano and Democrats would agree to last minute engrossment corrections. While RM Takano and staff were evaluating these changes away from the podium, House Republicans called the vote up and passed it by voice within minutes — depriving RM Takano of the ability to even evaluate the proposed changes and ask for a recorded vote so Members could vote against the biggest cut to veterans benefits in US history."

Wow. The moment Jake Tapper called the Mississippi Senate race is something to see.
Mississippi was ground zero for civil rights. The most dangerous state for Black people. They kept saying go slow, go slow.
Tonight, Mississippi sends a Black man to the Senate.
Scott Colom

If this happened during the Obama or Biden administrations, it would be the top news for weeks.
A Tomb Guard from the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard” was forced to verbally reprimand Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and loudly talked in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington.
Video of the incident, posted by CNN, shows Hegseth standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver as well as senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh, following a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.

DEM FLIP: Democrat Scott Colom has defeated incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith, flipping Mississippi’s U.S. Senate seat blue.
When he is sworn in, Senator-elect Colom will be the first Democrat in 38 years to represent Mississippi in the Senate.
Congratulations!

Demanding accountability isn't a crime.
Getting answers isn't a crime.
Exposing the corruption that is driving up costs is part of the mandate we have been given.
And we will do it.
