Tonight, I voted to move forward with articles of impeachment for Pete Hegseth🚨Here's why 👇

He has proven time and time again that he is unfit to serve as Secretary of Defense. His incompetence isn't just embarrassing - it's dangerous.

From the deadly boat strikes in the Caribbean to the military raid in Venezuela to the reckless war in Iran, Hegseth has demonstrated a disturbing disregard for congressional oversight or accountability for his failures.

The American people deserve a Secretary of Defense who respects the Constitution, takes accountability seriously, and understands the consequences of sending our military into conflict.

Pete Hegseth has repeatedly shown us he is not that person.

I’m grateful to my colleagues for the trust they’ve placed in me – I’m ready to get to work 🚨

The @NewDemCoalition will prove who we are and what we are about: results over rhetoric and finding practical solutions to deliver for the people we serve.

Working families across the country are being squeezed by the cost of healthcare, utilities, housing, childcare and groceries. It's clear that we must act now to put money back in people’s pockets, grow the middle class, and root out corruption.

As Chair, I look forward to ensuring that the largest ideological caucus in Congress wields its influence to deliver on this mandate.

Thank you to my friend, Chairman Casar.

I look forward to working together to build on the hard-fought victories of the labor movement, strengthen protections for working people, and deliver the real relief that families across the country need and deserve.

Nikki Budzinski and I both started our careers in the labor movement. In Congress, we’ve become colleagues and friends.

We chair caucuses with different perspectives, but I’m looking forward to working with her to deliver for working families.

Members of Congress need to be accountable to the people – not working to line their pockets. It’s why I’ve introduced legislation to BAN government officials from betting on prediction markets tied to policy outcomes or political events.

It’s common-sense.
