Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) announced Wednesday he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Why it matters: The long-shot effort centers on two scandals currently rocking the Pentagon — a new report about Signalgate and allegations of a follow-up strike against an alleged Venezuelan drug boat.

    Yeah, that was… something. Felt a smidgen of my soul leave my body at that point. Hegseth ordered people killed in cold blood and all you got was “won’t matter anyways?” What is wrong with you, Jefferies?

      Impeachment has lost all meaning. Trump has been impeached multiple times but remains in office. Trump loyalists in congress prevented him from seeing any consequences for those impeachments and block new impeachments. Unless something changes, the only way Hegseth is leaving is if Trump decides to remove him.

      If he’s fine with innocent children being murdered in cold blood by Israel why would he draw the line at innocent fishermen?
