Donald Trump is still more than two months away from taking office and it's already abundantly clear that Elizabeth Warren is going to have a long four years on the TDS war path.
Warren's already been triggered by Trump, Musk and Ramaswamy's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and this announcement about Trump's Defense Secretary nomination added to Fauxcohantas' headache:
🚨STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

The Left's spin on this is a simple one, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren could be counted on to do some lying by omission with this take on the Hegseth nomination:
A Fox & Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense.

I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our servicemembers.
Donald Trump’s pick will make us less safe and must be rejected. https://t.co/6ADUJSm8x6
"I respect every one of our service members." Well, except Hegseth, apparently.
Shameless gaslighting and egregious lies of omission caused the Democrats to get wiped out in the election last week and they've learned absolutely nothing. Would it help Warren's opinion of Hegseth if Pete claimed he took a DNA test and found out he's part of the Cherokee Nation?
By framing veteran and double bronze-star recipient Pete Hegseth as "weekend co-host," you prove you don't respect everyone one of our servicemembers. pic.twitter.com/AADkjRm7FB

It makes sense when you realize the kinds of people Warren considers "qualified" for their jobs in the current administration:

In other words, it depends on what your definition of "qualified" is. The Democrats have very different ideas of what makes somebody fit for a certain role, and actually being able to do the job isn't at the top of the list of requirements.
Maybe Warren, along with Pelosi and others are really worried about their defense contractor stock value going down. Be on the lookout for some interesting trades on the Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker account in the coming days and weeks!
