Indivisibles,

Pete Hegseth was already the most dangerous nominee for Secretary of
Defense in modern history. But yesterday, we learned of new allegations
against him. In an affidavit sent to senators, [ [link removed] ]his former sister-in-law
revealed disturbing claims that Hegseth’s second wife feared for her
safety because of his behavior.

Hegseth’s former sister-in-law, Danielle Hegseth, came forward at great
personal risk to share her account of his abusive behavior and volatile
temperament. In her sworn affidavit, she revealed that she took this
courageous step despite knowing it would subject her and her family to
public scrutiny, stating, “I am deeply concerned by what Hegseth’s
confirmation would mean for our military and our country.”

If you don’t want an allegedly abusive MAGA extremist to be our next
Secretary of Defense, your senators need to hear from you ASAP.

These allegations are damning on their own -- but here’s the kicker: She
disclosed this information to the FBI weeks ago, and the Trump team failed
to inform senators during Hegseth’s confirmation briefing.

What we already knew about Hegseth should have been enough to disqualify
anyone from this position:

* As recently as November, Hegseth stated his belief that women should
not serve in combat roles, a stance that undermines decades of
progress in the military.
* At a work event, Hegseth reportedly got drunk and shouted, “Kill all
Muslims.”
* He’s faced multiple accusations of sexual assault or misconduct and
was heard drunkenly shouting “no means yes” while leaving a bar. His
own mother called him an “abuser of women.”
* He’s never led a large organization in his life, and he was allegedly
pushed out of the small nonprofits he managed for financial
mismanagement and harassment.
* He’s refused to say whether he’d follow illegal orders, like shooting
unarmed protesters or enabling mass deportations.

Now, with new reports that credible allegations of abuse were buried by
Trump’s team, it’s clear: Pete Hegseth isn’t just unqualified -- he’s
dangerous. And we have no idea what else Trump and his cronies could be
hiding. 

Trump has made it clear he’s ready to deploy the military to crush
dissent. Hegseth -- with his writings on that the left must be
"categorically defeated" and his answers during his confirmation hearing
-- has made it clear he’s ready to use the military to carry out Trump’s
authoritarian aspirations. That’s why Trump picked him. 

Every day that passes, the evidence against Hegseth grows darker.
Hegseth’s nomination has already passed the committee, and the only step
left is a confirmation vote from the full Senate. If we’re going to stop
this dangerous nomination, we have to act now. Every call, every email,
and every bit of pressure counts.

P.S. -- Confirmation hearings for two of Trump's other dangerous nominees
have just been scheduled. Kash Patel (FBI) and RFK Jr. (Department of
Health and Human Services) will have their first hearings on January 29.
