JOHN,

Earlier this month, Pete Hegseth called together generals from across the country at Quantico. Donald Trump was in attendance. And today Hegseth — a television pundit masquerading as Secretary of Defense — delivered a nonsense speech about the so-called “warrior spirit.”

This morning, as we speak, we are running an ad geotargeted around Quantico, aimed directly at Trump, Hegseth, and the military leadership in that room. It mocks Hegseth for what he is: a buffoon who has no business lecturing generals about the warrior spirit he has never possessed.

It would be funny if it weren’t so serious. Watch it here and help us keep this thing running.

The clown show running the Department of Defense is a very real danger: Trump and Hegseth are attempting to reshape America’s military into a political weapon. They are replacing seriousness with spectacle, professionalism with propaganda, and loyalty to the Constitution with loyalty to Trump.

Everything we do as an organization is a strike against authoritarianism. Every dollar you give helps us shine a light on Trump’s dangerous regime — and expose the people, like Pete Hegseth, who are enabling it.

We cannot let them rewrite the mission of America’s military. We cannot let them turn the military into Trump’s personal and political servants. And we cannot afford to take this ad down while Trump and Hegseth try to consolidate power.

Donate $5, $25, or whatever you can right now to help us keep this ad up.

We showed Trump and Hegseth today that we see them for what they are. With your help, we’ll make sure the entire country sees it too.
