The outgoing congressman included eight charges against Hegseth, largely related to the Iran war.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., on Monday reintroduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the U.S. war with Iran.
A House vote on the articles is expected as soon as this week.
Massie, a longtime Trump critic who’s retiring from Congress at the end of the year, brought eight charges against Hegseth, accusing him of “waging the Iran war despite no declaration of war, statutory authorization, attack on the United States, or imminent threat.”
Because 1/3 of the nation isn’t going to change its worldview overnight, and very few of them a criminals in a way anything can be quickly done about. The GOP isn’t going to just dissolve and go away, America will always have a conservative block. However, damage control RIGHT NOW means a very tentative olive branch to the Congresspersons that have been the least vocal MAGA supporters, certainly including the few like Massie that have, despite towing the Republican line, at least been outspoken about executive overreach.
His objection is the war, good enough for me. Who else can we find with objections? Gather them, use them, let them hope that by cooperating they may get to retain power. Dragging the Overton Window back to the left should be the first objective. Show the American People that the law is The Law, no matter who broke it. Start earning back the working class, enough of them are stupid enough to, in this ideal scenario, completely allow themselves to forget “Better a Russian than a Demoncrat”, and pretend they’ve always been blue.
I wish that weren’t the best I think we should hope for, but in reality a socialist America is still very long way off. And I’d like for trans kids to get to play sports in the interim.
