The most Rep. Thomas Massie will get for his Pete Hegseth impeachment stunt is a gold star for trying, bless his heart.
House blocks Massie’s impeachment effort of Hegseth, bottling it up in cmte. Vote was 211-204 to send it to the Judiciary Cmte, ending Massie’s gambit. No straight up/down vote on impeachment articles

Massie was the only "Republican" to vote with Democrats.
Though this hands him another L on his way out the door, his Democrat allies undoubtedly will be bringing this up again in the next Congress:
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) described himself as a “hard yes on the Hegseth resolution,” teasing that Dems could try to impeach him again.
Defenders of Hegseth insisted that he didn’t commit high crimes or misdemeanors and was merely carrying out Trump’s orders.
“That’s what it is. Policy disagreements, not high crimes, not misdemeanors, not treason, not bribery, not the kinds of offenses the founders intended when they wrote the impeachment clause, the proper remedy for a policy disagreement. It’s legislation. It’s debate,” Hegseth argued.
He's right, but his TDS-afflicted critics on the left are gonna be out for blood in a couple of months. We will, of course, keep you posted on developments.
Editor's Note: The Democrat Party has been infected by socialism, and it's spreading FAST. Democrats are claiming there's nothing to worry about, but we know the truth.
