Congresswoman Sarah McBride

Some days in this job are particularly awe-inspiring — like today, when I joined my colleagues at Independence Hall in Philadelphia to celebrate that on this day 250 years ago our predecessors in the Continental Congress voted that our colonies were free and independent states.

Two days later, they would adopt a declaration that would proclaim certain self evident truths. We still have a long way to go before our nation fully realizes the values and rights articulated in the Declaration of Independence — that all of us are created equal. I'm grateful for the opportunity to do my small part in that work each day that I serve Delaware in Congress.

While our efforts to impeach Pete Hegseth fell short tonight, our fight for accountability is far from over. He, alongside President Trump, bears responsibility for starting a new forever war that has raised costs and taken American lives. Whether in this Congress or the next, the House of Representatives will impeach him — and deservedly so.

It is that simple.

Vibes in DC are excellent & my colleagues and I are ready to deliver on an aspirational affordability agenda and aggressive accountability to lower costs, end the war in Iran, and hold the crooks responsible.

Step one: impeaching Pete Hegseth.

Millennial optimism, affordability, and accountability are so back.
