The Secretary of Defense has to be ready to go 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Pete Hegseth has exercised terrible judgement with alcohol, and we cannot trust him with our national security. I hope my Republican colleagues are thinking hard about the choice in front of them.

My fellow South Africans, We have come to the end of another year. It has been a difficult year for many South Africans. Yet, despite the many challenges that our country is facing, we do have cause for hope and optimism. Our hope and our optimism is based on the knowledge that we have faced many hardships in the past and have overcome them. I therefore firmly believe that better days lie ahead. #HappyNewYear

PM Mark Carney calls Pierre Poilievre 'irresponsible' for security clearance refusal after reports of meddling in leadership" I find it beyond baffling, I find it down right irresponsible, that the leader of the Opposition, day after day, month after month, year after year, refuses to obtain his security clearance," he said. "As a normal course, in peacetime, when times are tranquil, that's unacceptable then. But at this point in our history, when we face the greatest threats that we faced in generations in most of our lifetimes, he has to answer for that."

Chris Murphy to Greg Sargent: "If we’re going to sign on to a full year budget, that budget has to have constraints on the corruption and the illegality. We cannot sign onto a full-year budget that basically puts a bipartisan endorsement of the illegality. We’re literally signing our own political death warrants if we do that."

ELON: OUR NATIONAL DEBT IS A DISASTER “What really matters is that government spending is not far in excess of government revenue. That's a fundamental issue that we have where we have a deficit of $2 trillion and we have interest payments that now exceed the entire budget of the military. In fact, that was a big wake-up call for me was when the amount of money that we pay in national debt interest exceeded the Defense Department budget. And the Defense Department budget is very big and interest is higher than that and climbing. That's a disaster.” Source: Town Hall in Wisconsin, March 30, 2025

I appreciate the Democrats' newfound fiscal responsibility, but the vast majority of our debt and deficit comes from entitlements, not defense spending. They're suddenly budget hawks when it comes to national security but silent on the $2+ trillion we spend on social programs and the $500+ billion that is wasted on fraud each year (per GAO).
