Absolutely unacceptable that 11 House Dems just *missed* the vote to proceed with the impeachment of Pete Hegseth. What’s the point of being a Rep if you’re not gonna be there for stuff like this?
Bill Emory retweeted
Then maybe show up to vote for it.
PETE HEGSETH OUT NOW.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
11 house democrats were absent for this vote, and had they not been absent and voted with their caucus Pete Hegseth would have been impeached by the house.
In effect, both the Democrats and Republicans both protected Pete Hegseth. Procedure is weaponized by both sides.

Democrats will have a 56-seat majority in the US Senate. We need to use it. Pass Medicare for All.

Jeffries didn’t even whip the vote. He told people to “vote their conscience,” and 11 members of his caucus didn’t show up. This is why people want a stronger leader.
These Democrats were recorded as “Not Voting.”
Had all 11 voted no, it would have failed 211–215, and the House would have moved toward a vote on impeachment itself.

The Democratic Party needs a new and bold direction. I will not support Chuck Schumer’s reelection as Democratic leader.

Pete Hegseth has grossly abused his position as Secretary of Defense.
He is waging an illegal war in Iran, conducting extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, and continues to put innocent civilians in harm's way.
Accountability is due. It's time to impeach Hegseth.

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

My name is Ahmed Moor and I'm running for United States Senate to unseat John Fetterman.

JD Vance thinks you should have to speak English to receive care at a hospital. Wait until he hears about neonatal intensive care units.
The audacity of those babies expecting care when they don’t even speak the language.

Not true. Hegseth gets his clothes from a company called Book a Tailor, which he confirmed in a Fox News segment. I suspect he got his clothes for free in exchange for this mention on Fox News. The company owner confirmed in an interview that their suits are made in Thailand.
In the time he since promoted this company, three US suit factories have faced closure. Instead of promoting US-made clothing, Hegseth promoted cheap imports that undercut US manufacturers.
You only think they're made in the US because the clothes are plastered with US flags. This is because you are more easily impressed by spectacle than substance, which is why this administration is so exciting for you.

the sharon el-amin for district 2 campaign built their website using jacob frey's 2025 as a template and actually left his content up! this page is even still live now
they also never removed the frey campaign's email from code, only display text, so at first, any emails sent to them went to the frey website. dumb stuff
El-Amin's side outspent Irene's, at least $50,384 to $45,402, and Irene still won. We don't know the full total because El-Amin's campaign isn't in compliance with state law: they haven't filed the Oct. 24 report. If they file it and the next 2 reports, I'll update the numbers.
ALT El-Amin's side outspent Fernando's, but we don't know by how much. El-Amin's campaign is not in compliance with Minnesota Statutes 211A.02. Its pre-general report was due Oct. 24 and, as of Nov. 6, had not been filed with the county. Hennepin County Commissioner District 2 · 2026 · money spent in the race. Fernando's campaign: Jan. 1 to Oct. 19. El-Amin's campaign: its initial and pre-primary reports.

I’m hopping on a plane to DC tomorrow for freshmen orientation tomorrow - so bonkers, it’s all happening! Excited to get to work for us. Between now and January you’ll still see me working at the restaurant in Eau Claire. I got debt and bills to pay! So proud to be a voice to embolden the working class and reclaim rural power in Congress.

"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politi…
