Jack Reed: “Undermining the very core of our democracy and our elections is not a discrete event.”

It is far past time for President Trump to recognize the lasting harm that Pete Hegseth is inflicting on the Department of Defense.

The President has waged this war without public support or congressional consent, and it is far past time for accountability.

His administration removed Nicolás Maduro from power, threw its weight behind the unelected leadership that replaced Maduro, and is now attempting to use U.S. military assets and taxpayer-backed financing to boost a private oil venture.

While the President and his family accumulate billions of dollars through dubious deals, normal hardworking Americans are struggling just to get by.
