Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Literally 10 days apart. Reality Winner got 5+ years in prison Edward Snowden is exiled to Russia When does Hegseth face prosecution?

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

ICYMI: Illinois was ranked seventh in the nation to raise a family. The investments we've made from education to parks in our state have made us an example of what it is to put Illinoisans at the forefront. I won't stop fighting until we're number one.

Corporations are hiking up prices to drive profits, while everyday Illinoisans are stuck with the bill. It's not right — and we're calling them out and doing something about them in our state. We’re taking more steps to increase access to health care and lower the costs.

Donald Trump's administration with a Republican Congress and Elon Musk intends to take our essential programs away. Let me be clear, that's going to affect your daily lives. Our state budget can't make up for the damage that's done if they succeed.

JUST SO WE’RE CRYSTAL CLEAR…👇 Any Questions?!
