Reading through Thomas Massie's articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth. There are 8 articles. Articles 1, 2, and 3 all accuse Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution by waging war in Iran. You might ask yourself: Did Pete Hegseth order US forces into action in Iran? I thought President Trump did that. That's a good question; from the very beginning, Hegseth appears to serve as a stand-in for Massie's real desire, which is to impeach Trump.
Article 4 is about the accidental hit on the Iranian school. Article 5 is about the drug boat attacks. Article 6 is about retaliating against Sen. Mark Kelly over the you-can-refuse-an-unlawful-order video. Article 7 is about the Venezuela attack and taking Nicolas Maduro into US custody. And Article 8 is about strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.
In all, Articles 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 are matters of the president's constitutional authority to wage war. If Massie wants to impeach somebody for those actions, the proper official to impeach is the president. Article 4 is about an accident by US forces in Iran. That leaves Article 6, the Mark Kelly matter, as the only issue for which Hegseth appears to bear some direct responsibility.
Massie is clearly pushing these articles because he is racing the clock against his own departure from Congress on January 3, having been defeated in a Republican primary in his home state of Kentucky. There is only so much time left to do damage, and with this BS impeachment, Massie is trying to make the most of it.

Exactly.
.@SECWAR “We didn’t start this war—Iran did—forty-seven years ago, but President Trump is willing to do what no other president would.
He did the tough, right thing—not for politics, but for the safety and security of the American people.
That’s leadership. He did not kick the can—he kicked their teeth in.”

Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.
Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).
The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.
This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.

I’ve just watched the press conference by @SecWar @PeteHegseth, and you simply need to watch it yourselves. It is PHENOMENAL 🔥
Truthfully, he nails it. He is absolutely, categorically, 100% correct with what he said. Almost every word of it. And my respect for him has increased exponentially. He is right. Argue with me or him or whoever you want, however you want. Pete Hegseth is right.
Here is just a portion of the press conference. The full speech is far too large to post. And there was so much more he said that was simply superb in every word.

Iran’s terrorist regime was caught paying hitmen to assassinate Trump and Nikki Haley on US soil.
The IRGC is actively hunting American leaders in our own country, and the media barely whispers a word about it.
They want us dead. Total weakness from our leadership. Wake up!

🚨 BREAKING: Selena Gomez, the Texas-born singer and actress, has reportedly slammed Gina Hinojosa over her recent remarks and proposal to drive Elon Musk and other investors out of Texas through higher taxes.
“I have great respect for Gina Hinojosa, but when it comes to the people of Texas, we must put selfish interests and political differences aside. Chasing Elon Musk out of Texas will do us more harm than good. I understand that you may be following the directives of the Democrats, but the interests of your people should always come first. Politics should never be mixed with business.
Elon Musk has provided countless job opportunities for the people of Texas, and that is something we cannot overlook or take away from him. Instead of fighting with him, find a better way to resolve your differences and work together rather than dancing to the tune of the Democrats. You are not elected to serve the Democrats; you are there to serve the people of Texas.
So many states are competing to attract investors, so why should Texas be chasing away the investors it already has? States like Florida would gladly welcome businesses and investments that Texas risks losing.
Hinojosa should be very careful about the advice she receives because I genuinely don’t believe this is the right decision. Attacking Elon Musk is not a fight the people of Texas want. Take politics out of business. Business is business, and politics is politics. If Elon Musk’s businesses are negatively affected, the people of Texas could suffer the consequences. I therefore advise her not to fight our investors but to make peace with them so that everyone can benefit and Texas can continue to flourish.
I encourage the people of Texas to come out and speak up. Hopefully, our voices will be heard and a better decision will be made by our governor. Let peace reign.”
My advice to Gina Hinojosa: Leadership requires putting the interests of Texans above political differences. Don’t allow political pressure or disagreements to damage Texas’s business environment. Elon Musk is an investor who has created jobs and brought economic activity to the state. Instead of escalating tensions, pursue dialogue, negotiate fairly and create policies that attract businesses rather than scare investors away. Your responsibility is to the people of Texas, not political parties.
My advice to Elon Musk: Don’t allow political disagreements to distract you from your business goals. Keep investing, creating jobs and contributing to Texas’s economy, but remain open to constructive dialogue with the governor. Protect your business interests while looking for common ground. Texas needs investors, and investors need a stable, business-friendly environment.
Ultimately, Texas should not become a battleground for political egos. Cooperation, not confrontation, should be the priority.

Elon Musk explains why SpaceX launches from a spot nobody wanted to live
Getting to orbit isn't really about going up.
Gravity at the space station's altitude is almost the same as on the ground.
The station stays up because it's moving around Earth at about 17,000 miles an hour, circling once roughly every 90 minutes.
So reaching orbit is about how fast you're moving parallel to the surface.
That's where Earth's rotation helps.
At the equator, the ground is already moving at about 1,000 miles an hour, eastward.
So you want to launch east, from an east coast, as far south as possible.
The hard part is finding that coastline empty.
Almost all of Florida is houses wall to wall on the beach. The exception is Cape Canaveral, and that's a government base.
One of the few open spots was right by the border with Mexico.
It was a tough place to build homes. A planned development there got wiped out by a hurricane that left some plots underwater.
And it had to be US soil. Rocket technology counts as advanced weapons technology, so export restrictions rule out launching from another country.
The land nobody could build a home on was exactly what a rocket company needed.

The deck was STACKED against Trump — and it trickled down to steal seats across America. Venezuela did MASSIVE damage to our Republic.

The Cybertruck order rate far exceeds our production rate. We will try to make as many as possible before shutting down the line in about 8 months, but will have to return deposits for a lot of people.
This is not a case of Cybertruck being unprofitable, as has been misreported by legacy media, but rather that the opportunity cost of the complexity of Cybertruck is vastly outweighed by the value of incremental Cybercab production.

ABDUL EL SAYED FAILS BACKGROUND CHECK FOR CLASSIFIED SENATE BRIEFINGS
By Jonathan Gregory
Washington, DC - November 8, 2026
Abdul El Sayed has failed the background check required for classified Senate briefings. The denial blocks him from any session that involves sensitive national security information. Officials who conduct the clearances reported that the review did not meet the standards necessary for access to restricted materials. The failure leaves open the question of what specific issues prevented approval.
Senators who receive classified briefings must clear the same process before they can attend. El Sayed’s rejection means he cannot participate in those meetings. The decision places him outside the normal flow of information that other members receive. Americans who expect every senator to qualify for the same briefings now see one individual excluded by the clearance system.
The denial raises direct concerns about what the background check uncovered. Officials have not released the precise reasons but the result itself is public. Voters who supported El Sayed must now consider whether a senator barred from classified sessions can fulfill the full duties of the office. The clearance failure stands as the official record until any appeal produces a different outcome. The standard remains the same for every member of the chamber.
@TrumpNews
ALT THE SENATOR: Abdul El Sayed Who Failed the Background Check Required for Classified Senate Briefings!
ALT THE CLEARANCE: Classified Document Graphic Representing the Restricted Materials El Sayed Is Now Barred From Viewing!
ALT THE CAPITOL: Michigan State Capitol in Lansing Representing the State That Sent El Sayed to the Senate Before the Clearance Failure!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
US Senators do not undergo formal background checks or security clearances for classified briefings; they receive access by virtue of their elected constitutional office. No reports confirm Abdul El-Sayed (elected Nov 2026) failing any such process.

🚨💥 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST DROPPED THE FOOTAGE EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT 💥🚨
Sen. Elizabeth Warren gets AMBUSHED in the hallway and completely MELTS DOWN when hit with hard questions about non-citizen voting and voter ID! 😱🔥
A reporter walks straight up and asks about the New Jersey revelations — at least 400 non-citizens who voted illegally. Warren’s response? Defensive and flustered:
“It is already illegal for someone who’s not an American citizen to vote!”
The reporter fires back: “That’s at least 400 aliens that did. People have violated the law. Do you see anything actually going to happen?”
Warren snaps: “I don’t understand why you want laws that are already there!” — then turns and walks away as the reporter points out the obvious: Democrats said illegals never vote… but they clearly do. 👀📹
This is the exact moment Democrats get cornered on election integrity. No more “no evidence.” Watch her face as reality hits. 🤯
Who else is DONE with the excuses? Drop a 🔥 if you want voter ID and proof of citizenship NOW. Share this before they try to bury it! 🇺🇸🗳️
