I served two combat tours in Iraq. I know how these operations are supposed to go.

Top takeaways: 

1) Hegseth definitively exposed CLASSIFIED war plans.

2) Hegseth must resign. IMMEDIATELY.

3) This is a cover-up at the highest levels of government.

Let me explain. 

🧵 This level of operational detail— timing, strike package, battle damage assessment, and more — is 100% definitively, unequivocally CLASSIFIED information.

Sharing that on an unsecured network, EVEN WITHOUT A REPORTER, is a crime and put the lives of service members at risk.

Trump’s first week was great if you’re a mega-billionaire or Oath Keeper. 

It wasn’t so great for the rest of us. 

I know a lot of folks are feeling down right now, & trust me, I get it. 

But the battle lines were drawn. And here’s why I'm confident we can win this fight. 

🧵 First, some important context. 

Democrats got our butts kicked in November. No two ways about it. 

We stopped meeting people where they were. We became the party of the elites, and folks felt that.  

I know that doesn’t sound like good news.

Tomorrow’s hearing with Pete Hegseth is a HUGE deal. 

I believe every American should care deeply about the person who holds the lives of our men and women in uniform in their hands. 

Here’s 10 questions we need answers to – and yes, I'm going to be pretty damn blunt:

🧵 You bankrupted an organization of 10 people with a budget of under $10 million. 

How the f*ck can the American people trust you to run an organization of nearly 3.4 million people, with a budget of nearly $850 billion?!

It’s going to take time to sort through what happened Tuesday. But I've read a lot of takes the past few days (some good, many bad), and I've had a lot of people ask how I won one of the toughest districts in the country by over 13%.

Here are some thoughts: 🧵 First and foremost, if you're using the words "moderate" or "progressive," you're missing the whole f***ing point. 

It's not ideological. It's about who fights for the people vs. who further empowers and enables the elites.

What Trump did at Arlington is a disgrace. 

I served two combat tours in Iraq. I have friends & fellow soldiers – heroes who gave their lives to protect our country – buried in Section 60. 

This is sacred ground. We must not allow anyone to sully it with campaign theatrics. 🧵 Arlington Cemetery is the resting place for nearly 400,000 of our nation’s heroes, going all the way back to the Civil War. 

That includes men and women we lost in Iraq and Afghanistan, whose final resting place is Section 60.
