BREAKING: SWEET REVENGE! The Navy Admiral who Pete Hegseth fired DEFEATS her MAGA opponent to win a House seat in South Carolina — cementing the blue tsunami with a poetic flourish!
This is just too beautiful...
Democrat Nancy Lacore, a 35-year Navy veteran who rose through the ranks from helicopter pilot to become Chief of Navy Reserve, was fired in August of 2025 amid Hegseth's purging of high-ranking women in the military. While no official reason was given, the deeply misogynistic Hegseth has not been coy about his caveman belief that only testosterone-injecting men should serve.
Lacore has now defeated Republican Jenny Costa Honeycutt to seize a seat that was formerly held by MAGA lunatic Nancy Mace who launched a failed bid for the governor's mansion this year.
Lacore has not been shy about criticizing Hegseth's disastrous mismanagement of the Defense Department, particularly his failed Iran War.
"Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified Secretary of Defense that we have ever had, and he is doing significant damage to our military that it will really take decades to undo," she said, adding that he "needs to go."
The most beautiful irony here? Congresswoman Lacore could soon be voting with the rest of the Democratic majority in the House to impeach Pete Hegseth. We have subpoena power starting in January, so we'll be able to uncover all of the gross negligence and rampant criminality that he's overseen.
Ain't karma grand?
Please ❤️ and share if you support impeaching Pete Hegseth!

For fifteen years, my native state of Indiana has suffered under one-party rule. But today, a new generation of leaders, like J.D. Ford and Beau Bayh, showed us all what's possible when you invest in so-called red states. Finally, Democrats have broken the Republican supermajority that has gripped Indiana for years.
This is just a starting point for what Hoosier Democrats can do when they have the support to win!

In case you're not paying attention:
Two years ago...
• We didn't have internment camps
• We didn't have masked military shooting people in the streets
• We weren't at war in the Middle East
• We funded science
• We funded education
• We weren't handing over public land to oil companies
• We were friends with Canada, Mexico and Europe
• Gas was 1/2 what it is now
• Solar and wind energy was a good thing
• Inflation was going down, not up
• Our food was safer
There is not one single thing better now than 2 years ago.

This Election Day, you have the power to change the direction of this country. But nothing’s going to change if you don’t vote.
So I want you to reach out to everyone you know. Help your family members make a plan to vote. Drive your neighbors to the polls. Text your friends until they show you their “I Voted” sticker. And if anybody gives you any attitude, tell them Michelle told you to vote!
Your community, your state, and our entire country needs every single one of you to cast a ballot on November 3. We’re counting on you!

I’ve been to dozens of communities across America this year, and everywhere I go, people tell me the same thing: they’re sick of how this country is being run and tired of what that has meant for their lives. Tomorrow is our chance to fix that.

Do not let billionaires and oligarchs, like Elon Musk, buy this election and control our government and country. Musk has pumped close to $400 million in the midterms alone. 🤬 Get out and vote tomorrow…your right and civic duty as an American citizen! #VoteBlue #Midterms2026 #VoteBlueForDemocracy #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
