Pete Hegseth’s “anti-woke” purges have nothing to do with strength. He fired highly qualified, decorated officers, who dedicated years to their country, simply because of their identity. He’s the unqualified one. I called this out on MS NOW last week. He said it out loud today.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

When Trump said he was sending troops to Portland, we said no and took him to court. 100 days later, they all went home, and not a single troop was on our streets. Now, one year later, we still stand up to the federal administration every single day.

Rep. Jamie Raskin

@RepRaskin
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.
