On Monday, the Senate armed services committee approved Pete #Hegseth’s nomination,
But he awaits confirmation by the full chamber.
In a joint statement, Elizabeth #Warren, Tim #Kaine, Mark #Kelly, Mazie #Hirono, Richard #Blumenthal, Tammy #Duckworth, Jeanne #Shaheen and Kirsten #Gillibrand
👉 demand meetings with Pete Hegseth before the full Senate votes on his confirmation:
The senator's joint statement reads:
"In a sworn statement under the penalty of perjury, a new report shows U.S. Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth was ‘erratic and aggressive’ toward his second wife over many years, to the point that she feared for her safety.
The report also details repeated instances of his drinking alcohol in excess, including the need to be dragged out of a strip club while in uniform.
This affidavit is part of a disturbing pattern of behavior that has been documented through numerous public and private reports.
The affidavit also raises additional questions about the thoroughness of his FBI background check during a rushed confirmation process.
Despite repeated requests, Mr. Hegseth has refused to meet with the vast majority of Democratic members of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
We request that Mr. Hegseth meet privately with every interested lawmaker on the committee before the Senate votes on his nomination
so that we can have frank discussions about the new information that has come to light.
It would be irresponsible and contrary to our constitutional duty for the Senate to vote to confirm this nomination before such meetings have occurred."

Okay, #NewYork voters, especially #democrat voters, it’s time to talk.

Early go-to-polls voting starts tomorrow. We all know what’s at stake in the general election, but there’s more than the presidency at risk.

First, be sure to vote down ballot. #Harris needs some votes for sure, but keep in mind that Sen. #Gillibrand and a slew of #USHouse candidates need your support as well.

Second, abortion is on the ballot in New York as #proposition1 . #prop1 is designed to protect the rights of groups that Republicans seem to like to target. A Yes vote enshrines abortion rights in the state constitution, and protects the rights of women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ folk.

This needs your help. Conservatives have been using the “protect women’s sports” transphobic dog-whistle to try to attack Prop 1. It needs your help, it needs your support, and it needs your yes vote.

More information on Prop 1 here: nyclu.org/commentary/why-new-y

Thanks for reading, and don’t forget to vote!

I had emailed Senator #Gillibrand asking her to call for a ceasefire, and wound up on her email list.

Just got a newsletter from Gillibrand's office. 2 mentions of support for Israelis/ Jewish constituents. How many mentions of humanitarian concerns in #Palestine?

None whatsoever.

Fuck Gillibrand. No votes coming her way from me ever again.

Guess the last of only 6 newsletter items? A dog in a vest.

For NY Senators, #Palestinian life is worth less mention than a dog in a fucking vest.

An image of the Cornell clock tower, as part of a screenshot from an email item that reads: 1. Protecting the Jewish community Gillibrand urges FBI, DHS to ensure safety of Jewish communities following increase in antisemitism
An image of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand taken with three people to her right and two people to her left. The text from the screenshot reads: 3. Meeting with hostage families Kristen met with families whose loved ones are being held hostage by Hamas to listen to their stories and express her determination to get them home.
Screenshot from an image that reads: Spooky season And finally - Happy Halloween from Maple. This is accompanied by a picture of a dog in a shiny vest. This dog in a stupid vest is more important to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand than the 9000 Palestinians who have been killed, who received no mention.
