211-204: Rep. Massie’s effort to impeach Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth has failed in the U.S. House — after 11 Democrats missed the vote. Republicans voted in favor of sending the impeachment measure to committee, potentially punting it to the next Congress.

Trump was warned about Jensen Huang’s suspected honeypot in October 2025. He did nothing. That same month, Nvidia donated $25 million to Trump’s ballroom. Huang now has a 22% chance of exiting Nvidia before the end of the year, per Polymarket’s odds:

JUST IN: Inflation in October came in hotter than expected. A 0.4% increase (vs 0.3% expected). This implies about a ~4% inflation rate for the past year. There was a big jump in grocery prices. Eating out, electricity, transportation (esp. airfares), rent and medical services (esp. hospitals) all seeing sizable monthly price increases. Core CPI (which excludes food and energy) rose 0.3%. That was also hotter than expected. NOTE: The gov't didn't publish the y/y rate for October because they weren't able to collect data in Oct. '25 due to the gov't shutdown.

“We gotta send legislation to [Trump] to try to fix this. And then he needs to sign it. I would suggest he do that.”

Trump says he’ll “stand by” Pete Hegseth, even if he’s impeached. Asked about Rep. Thomas Massie’s impeachment effort, he takes a dig at @kaitlancollins: “Massie’s a loser, just like you’re a loser at CNN.”

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie reignites his effort to impeach Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth, claiming he “knowingly executed” unlawful orders in the Iran war and “remains a threat to the Constitution.” Only 3 Republicans would have to join all Democrats to impeach Hegseth.

Ashley St. Clair thinks Democrats should try to overturn Citizens United: "There is a minority to worry about, and it's billionaires, and the elites, and the corporations who have gone to the courts and said that their money is free speech."

Anyone in Shreveport need their lawn mowed? GOP House Speaker Johnson says he will not seek the House Minority Leader role after Republicans' midterm wipeout, setting up a leadership fight between Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise, and anyone else who wants to inherit this situation.
