I voted for Mattis. I voted for Esper. But Hegseth has never led thousands of people, like Mattis had. He never ran the entire Army, like Esper did. No, the only things Hegseth has ever run, he’s run into the ground. For these reasons and more, I will vote no.

Arlington Cemetery is hallowed ground. A final resting place for our fallen heroes who were brave enough to serve. How dare this five-time draft dodger dishonor them by trying to erect a monument to his own vanity? Veterans will not let him get away with it.

Anyone who can’t admit that Russia attacked Ukraine should not be helping make decisions about our national security.

Pete Hegseth never commanded a unit or a company—let alone battalions, brigades or whole armies. He does not have the experience to run a Department that includes 3 million servicemembers and civilians along with a budget of over $900 billion. He is unqualified and dangerous.

We're going to find out what happened. And we’re going to do everything we can to prevent this horrific tragedy from happening again. But to immediately question the aircrew as if they didn't earn their place in that cockpit is disgusting. Shame on Donald Trump.

There’s no other way to spin it. The strikes are murder. They’re illegal. And they put our troops at greater risk.

Every day, our servicemembers live by the Soldier’s Creed—the words displayed behind me. How can we ask our troops to train to the highest standard if we confirm a guy who wants us to lower the standard to make him Secretary of Defense? Pete Hegseth must step aside.

Today, I voted in support of a resolution that would force Trump to get congressional approval before using military force against Venezuela. Senate Republicans blocked it—ceding their constitutional authority to Trump. Once again, they bent the knee to a wanna-be king.

Our troops and our country deserve better than Pete Hegseth.

Trump should be honoring the families of our servicemembers, not rounding them up for deportation. Enough is enough.

I want a democratic Iran. And I won’t shed a tear for the Ayatollah’s death. But my first concern will always be the national security of the United States. Trump is putting our troops and all Americans in danger without any real reason he can explain.

Pete Hegseth proved again and again that he does not have the qualifications, the breadth of knowledge or the moral fiber to lead the greatest military on the face of the earth. Nearly every single Republican voted to confirm him anyway. Our nation deserves better.

If it was really about celebrating military families, we could put $30 million toward helping them offset the cost of their child care, food assistance and tuition… But it isn't. Trump is throwing himself a $30 million birthday parade just to stroke his own ego.
