Rep. Thomas Massie moved Monday to force a vote to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, putting pressure on his fellow Republicans to decide whether to remove one of the Trump administration’s most prominent figures after the GOP’s sweeping midterm election losses.
Friends…
READY YOUR POPCORN.
Seems like it would just be better for hegseth if they pushed this through before the new reps are seated.
Probably. Personally I wish they’d hold off on any of this until 2028 and just laser focus on affordability.
To reuse my own comment…
They can and must do both. They are full time public servants and they all have staffers to help them research and write legislation.
Saying ‘don’t do this until later’ is a coded way of saying it isn’t going to get done.
Respectfully, I don’t know that we’ve seen Democrats multi-task since the 1960’s.
I don’t think they can focus on more than one issue, at least not effectively, which is why affordability has to be the priority. A majority of people can’t afford food and rent, and we’ve seen a few states banning surveillance pricing to help with that, but it needs to happen at the federal level.
The upside is that, assuming they do focus on affordability, they’ll have more power in 2028 and that will make it more likely that any attempt to hold this regime accountable actually sticks.
Rather the people in charge now went to jail for treason. Destroying the country from the inside working with Russia and Iran.
It’s a nice thought, but we’ve seen all this before. I fully expect Democrats to run sham hearings for the next two years and get nothing meaningful done, but I hope I’m wrong.
Meh, I’ll hold my breath (obv. sarcastically) until money is dropped out of a collective recognition of the true lack of necessity, as it literally just maintains an imagination with an Earthbound/Mooby/gold horned bull statue, it will never be real.
