This is why Democrats need to vote no on every Trump cabinet pick: [View all]
Senator warns of national security risks after Elon Musk’s DOGE granted ‘full access’ to sensitive Treasury systemsBessent was confirmed less than a week ago and immediately gave DOGE permission to do whatever the fuck they wanted to with OPM information, servers, and staff. When we scream into the void that Democrats need to do something, blocking all Trump nominations is ground zero of action, and the very least they can do. 16 Democratic senators voted for this tool!
On paper, he doesn’t look particularly extreme. He’s a married gay man and once worked for George Soros. But we need to assume everyone put up for confirmation has sworn loyalty to Trump over country. EVERY ONE.
