“As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic” Fox News’ Sean Hannity makes it pretty clear: Trump comes before everything, even over his religion. It’s a cult.

Jeffries opponents on the left are making a meal of this - members who just ducked out for a pointless post-election reception are getting their AIPAC tracker number shot back at them, accused of secretly supporting the Iran War, etc. Skip the reception, go to work! Simple as.

This'll be in the rearview in Jan, when they have a Senate majority that could actually take up impeachment. But there are clearly some members who should cool it on the receptions and media hits that keep pulling them off the Hill.

Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote. Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment. Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.

Republicans just blocked the House from impeaching Pete Hegseth. They are protecting an unqualified, incompetent man over our servicemembers. What a disgrace.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House Dems say Republicans protected Hegseth. 211-204 vote sent Massie’s resolution to committee, killing it. Massie was sole R voting to advance. All present Dems voted to advance, but 11 Dems (incl. Pelosi) were absent—their votes would have defeated the motion. politico.com/news/2026/11/1… usatoday.com/story/news/pol… theintercept.com/2026/11/10/heg… x.com/GenXGirl1994/s… x.com/DropSiteNews/s…

Calling @RepJudyChu tomorrow and asking if she's really going to vote for @RepJeffries if he can't get his act together on something that would have tied up the Republicans for weeks during the fucking trifecta lame duck session.

11 Dems, including Pelosi who has been making the rounds on the Hill today to talk to press, didn’t vote to advance Pete Hegseth’s impeachment. Because of those Dem absences, Republicans successfully sent it to Judiciary Committee, where it will collect dust.

House Democrats are having attendance issues again. If the caucus actually showed up to vote tonight, Hegseth would be impeached. This is a serious leadership problem.

Trump calls the blocking of Hegseth’s impeachment an “exoneration” and says: The Democrats continue to weaponize and abuse the United States of America. They must be stopped!

UnitedHealth made over $6 billion in profit in just 3 months. Reportedly denying about 1 in 3 claims. You paid your premium. They denied your claim. They kept your money. Then they called it a "record quarter." And it's all legal.

Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.   This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️

Tomorrow, the Senate will take a key vote on the $1.1 TRILLION defense bill. It not only fails to rein in Trump’s Iran war, it also has a provision touted by PM Netanyahu to MANDATE more U.S. defense cooperation with Israel. None of this is in our national security interests. I will vote NO.

Conservative spitballs a hypothetical asking if Democrats would go for something and hits a brick wall of his own side being racist as fuck in the comments.

Spitballing a hypothetical. Republicans - would you be open to an immigration deal that would legalize Dreamers & give protections to longtime illegal immigrants w/ no criminal record if they came forward & paid a fee/back taxes in exchange national voter ID requirements, a nationwide federal ban on sanctuary cities (ICE detainers must be honored at jails for criminal aliens) and a strict overhaul on the asylum system to prevent fraudulent claims overwhelming the system? Would Dems have any appetite for such a deal?

I defend Democrats from the haters. I welcome defending them from haters on the right. But I will defend them from haters on the left. My simple view is that in our two party system, weakening the Democratic party is helping Trump. And strengthening the Dem party weakens Trump - as we saw in these huge elections on Tuesday. Glad I could clarify.

Congratulations to the new Chief of Staff, @StephenM. Double down on the agenda. Too many people are demanding a change to tough policies because they were unpopular in the midterms. That’s foolish and cowardly. The short term unpopularity of a policy does not make the policy wrong. The President’s priority should be long term benefits (like an Iran without a nuke), not short term popularity.
