Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

So trump wants to fire Waltz but can’t because he feels it will look like he did so because of pressure from the media or Dems. So he “promotes” Waltz to UN Ambassador where he may not be confirmed by the Senate. Was this trumps way of firing Waltz but being able to place the blame on GOP Senators?

Why would she ask again if Senator Duckworth is open to voting for him after mentioning he’s in the military? Media creates the presumption of competence when they frame the question like that.

It’s going to be hard to convince ppl of how bad things are with some journalists tackling the issues like this. The question should be what would make anyone think they should trust him with classified information when he flagrantly broke the law.

This is correct, but it's also what the admin wants. They get to claim it's political opposition that fired him, not incompetence that they allowed into high power.

I live in Illinois. I am extremely proud of Tammy Duckworth and JB Pritzker. These are two warriors bringing the fight to the fascists. Thank you, Tammy. Thank you, JB.

Here's a very simple formula. If it's a republican vote NO. If it's a republican bill vote NO. If it's a republican idea vote NO. If a republican asks you out for dinner say NO. Republicans are some of the most non empathetic, crooked, dumbest sons of a bitches on the planet.

Nazis believe whites are superior. A very wise WHITE man said Naziism is an inferior political system. (Churchill). A very wise WHITE man declared war on Nazi Germany (Roosevelt). They “must” be right, according to Trump and Miller! This shows how f**ked up T&M’s logic is.

Everyone on that signal chat app should be fired! None of those ppl are qualified. It scares me to think of this country's vulnerability with clowns from the tRump circus running the show. If anyone does vote to confirm any of these morons, they shouldn't be in a position to vote. Vote THEM OUT!

Ds should not be voting for any of this administration’s nominees. Not even voting for cloture. And if they do, they deserve to be primaried. You can’t be 1/2 in on resisting the lawlessness of this administration. It’s all or nothing

The "optics" referred to is the display of who Democrats are fighting for. If they were fighting for us, and for our nation they would all vote no on every nominee. When the media reports, "the vote was along party lines" that tells use we have strong representation.

We can only hope that Trump appointed the worst first, so if we can block the worst, the next willl have to be that splinter better, and then block that one, and maybe, in time, he would have to appoint a competent person.

He’s failing upwards … is that what he’s doing? I think he’s letting us all understand that national security means nothing to him. Why keep trying to find a place for him in the Trump administration when there are so many other lackeys waiting for their turn

Why in the hell would any Democrat vote to reward and confirm this dangerous, abject failure of the Trump administration to another more prominent position. Don’t sully your intelligence or ours by voting to confirm him‼️👊🏼

Every person who was on the internet chat did share in passing TS information has to be fired. Doing the bare minimum requirement ( if any ) shows an immaturity level of not enough interest in the protection of US Security. That is dangerous, and gross incompetence.

Because they're complicit. They're beholden to Lobbyists and Super PACs. It's really disappointing and discouraging. That speech from Cory Booker was apparently just theater. And they STILL have the nerve to send texts and ads through FB asking for more donations.
