Hold this administration accountable. The pattern of reckless, unqualified appointments and lawless behavior has gone unchecked long enough, and I expect you to use every tool available to push back. Pete Hegseth — a former Fox News weekend host with zero defense experience — is running the Department of Defense into the ground. His team ran out of missiles during an active conflict, and when confronted at Camp David, he blamed his deputy rather than take any responsibility. The Pentagon is now demanding defense contractors overhaul years-long production timelines in 21 days. Rushing the manufacture of weapons systems to cover for catastrophic mismanagement is not a plan — it's a disaster waiting to happen. This isn't one bad hire. It's a cabinet full of them. Every department is being run by someone chosen for loyalty and TV presence, not competence. People are getting hurt. Demand hearings, demand oversight, demand consequences. Do your job.
