Hi John,

If you've been watching the news, then you know that chaos continues to unfold at the Pentagon. It's been a month since our country was shocked by the news of a Signal group chat of our nation’s intelligence officials discussing classified U.S. military plans.

Since then, Mike Waltz has been ousted by Trump but there still hasn't been any accountability for Hegseth for putting the lives of American troops at risk. And it just keeps getting worse. New reporting shows that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also used Signal and his personal cell phone to share war plans with his wife, brother, and personal lawyer, among others – can you believe this?

This is so important to me that I introduced legislation that would force Hegseth to step down. I spoke earlier this week on that effort and will keep at it. I’m doing everything in my power to hold him accountable for his reckless and dangerous behavior.

We are all at risk with Pete Hegseth still at the Pentagon, especially our troops. He's a danger to our nation, and he needs to resign immediately.

We can't let this administration continue to hide in hopes that this news cycle will blow over. But I can't do it without you.

Please, will you rush $5 now so I can continue to focus on the important work itself - not the campaign - as we push back on the worst of the offences and position ourselves and our party to return Democrats to power in November?

Subject: Hegseth should resign – you and I can help

Like many of you, I knew Pete Hegseth was unqualified to be our nation’s top military leader. I called for the Senate not to confirm him as Defense Secretary and even asked you to sign a petition to show how much opposition there was to his nomination. We almost did it – Vice President Vance had to break the tie vote.

But even I was shocked by the news of a Signal group chat of our nation’s intelligence officials discussing classified plans for U.S. military action in Yemen. Since then, it’s been one lie after another from the Trump Administration.

I spoke with CNN this morning and will keep pushing on all the news shows that will have me. As an Air Force veteran and a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I understand – to my core – how reckless and dangerous this behavior is.

I’m fighting for an investigation, but we don’t need one to know that people should be fired. After committing a mistake like this, one that put the lives of the men and women carrying out the military strikes at risk, Secretary Hegseth should step down.

Will you help me keep pressure on the administration? Not let them hunker down until this news cycle blows over? Help me hold them accountable? You can use your voice online, in letters to the editor, in marches and rallies, by calling your U.S. Senators, and by calling the White House.
