Hegseth’s margin 51-50 was the smallest margin for a defense secretary’s confirmation since the position was created in 1947. Such a crap pick for an important position!

These lawmakers need to grow a spine and vote against these unqualified hacks. Keep voting no until qualified picks are presented. Shameful.

Is there a source that publishes how congresspeople voted? I always have a hard time finding it on Google.

Democratic leaders must stop being doormats. Do not compromise, find common ground, or reach across the aisle. Bipartisanship doesn't work with fascists. Fight them at every turn. Sign the petition. Join our cause. Full statement here: www.change.org/WeThePeople-...

Hegseth was Trump's nominee 1) to make a mockery of America's military & 2) to put in an Alpha to bolster Xtian white men while our military is actually controlled by a shadow Sec of Defense team, perhaps influenced by foreign govts.

I hope he's humiliated by that vote, but I'm sure a vodka tonic will dull that for him.

Thank you to unprincipled and self-serving Joni Ernst. Having been raised in a military family with two sons in the military, I have no words for her cowardly act and complicit actions in destroying our country. May you never have another good night’s sleep.

Do you think MAGA cares? Or it makes any difference to the rest of us?

Every Republican Senator who voted for Hegseth is a disgrace and a coward. They are not worthy to be U.S. Senators. Pathetic!

Perhaps the good news is, given the track record of #Trump appointees from 1.0, he’ll probably be gone in a year or less. Just hoping we’re not in WWIII by then
