@viralsanctuary_: HEGSETH FACES AN IMPEACHMENT VOTE THIS WEEK A Republican congressman just forced the issue. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky went to the House floor on Monday, November 9 and reintroduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of high crimes and misdemeanors. House leadership has two days to act: table it, send it to committee, or allow a floor vote, which could come as early as Wednesday. The charges center on the Iran war. Three articles accuse Hegseth of illegally waging war against Iran in violation of the War Powers Resolution. The others accuse him of ignoring laws meant to minimize civilian casualties, overseeing strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, retaliating against Sen. Mark Kelly, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro without congressional authorization, and illegally waging war against Yemen. These are allegations in Massie's resolution, not findings by a court. President Trump stood by Hegseth in remarks to reporters on Monday, saying "I'll stand by him." Hegseth has dismissed the effort as "sham articles of impeachment" and is set to hold a press conference on Tuesday morning, his first in 180 days, to respond. Massie first filed these articles in September, but Speaker Mike Johnson called an early recess to avoid a vote and the resolution expired, which is why Massie filed it again on Monday. Our take: this is not a Democratic stunt from the minority. It is a Republican forcing his own party to vote, on the record, about a war Congress never authorized, days after voters punished that party over it. Even if the Senate never convicts, the House vote itself will show how much daylight Republicans want between themselves and this war. Should the House vote to impeach Hegseth, or is Massie grandstanding on his way out?
