Jeffries Dragged for ‘Serious Leadership Problem’ as Hegseth Impeachment Bid Falls 7 Votes Short With 11 Dem No-Shows

As House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries seeks to become speaker when Democrats retake Congress in January, critics questioned his leadership Tuesday after the Republican-led lower chamber effectively blocked a bid to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by just seven votes—an outcome that may have been averted if more Democrats showed up to vote.

The 211-204 procedural vote effectively torpedoed Congressman Thomas Massie’s attempt to impeach Hegseth by sending the outgoing Kentucky Republican’s resolution to the House Judiciary Committee, where it will likely gather dust during the remainder of the GOP-controlled congressional term.

House GOP leaders kill Hegseth impeachment push

GOP leaders, along with White House officials, worked furiously behind the scenes to kill the impeachment push from anti-Trump crusader, GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, multiple sources told CNN.

On Tuesday night, they succeeded, convincing enough Republicans to show up to the vote despite those big election losses and vote to refer the impeachment measure to a committee and take it out of floor consideration.

House GOP erupts at Stephen Miller as Trump elevates him after midterm massacre: ‚Megalomaniac‘

Several Republican lawmakers are fuming over President Donald Trump’s elevation of Stephen Miller to be his chief of staff.

„Horrible decision,“ Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., told Fox News Digital on Friday after Trump announced his decision.

A Republican lawmaker who was granted anonymity to speak candidly said they were in „utter disbelief.“

Tensions were rising against Miller in the wake of Republicans’ terrible performance in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Multiple House Republicans who spoke with Fox News Digital just moments before his promotion said Miller, who spearheads Trump’s immigration policy, should be fired.

Stephen Miller replaces Susie Wiles as Trump‘s White House chief of staff after GOP‘s midterm defeat

Miller, long a member of Trump‘s tight inner circle, is a key architect of the administration‘s hard-line immigration policies. He is one of Trump‘s longest-serving aides, joining his long-shot 2016 presidential campaign as a speechwriter. He most recently has served as White House deputy chief of staff for policy and oversees a broad portfolio, though he is best known for his role in Trump‘s immigration policy.

Trump’s MAGA Pals Push Sinister Martial Law Plot

Tina Peters, a prominent MAGA election activist, met with Trump in October. She was convicted in 2024 of crimes tied to a breach of election equipment, then freed this year after Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, commuted her sentence. Peters and her attorney, Peter Ticktin, also visited Trump at the White House in late June.

Ticktin, who is Trump’s childhood friend, was among the speakers on a Sept. 30 video call for MAGA election activists streamed on Rumble. They warned of widespread election security breaches they believe will hit in November, and they urgently pushed for remedies.

The Supporters Urging Trump to Declare Martial Law for the Midterms

(September 23, 2026)

The way Ticktin sees it, there are three possible outcomes this fall. The first—a smooth election—won’t happen in his view because, he claims without evidence, Democrats already cheated in the primaries. The second is that Trump takes action before the election to prevent cheating. The last option is that Trump tries to declare martial law on or around November 3. “Either martial law, or step aside,” he told us about Trump’s choices in the last scenario. When we asked about the prospect of riots if Trump tries to overturn the election results, Ticktin said he was not concerned. “Believe me, our armed forces are a lot bigger than they are,” he said.

Gas Prices and the 2026 Midterms

(March 26, 2026)

Few economic indicators hit voters as fast or as visibly as the price of gasoline. Academic research stretching back decades confirms what political operatives have long understood intuitively: when gas prices rise sharply, presidential approval falls, and when approval falls heading into a midterm, the president’s party loses seats. That chain is being tested dramatically right now.

Trumps Drohung: Hände hoch, Diesel her!

(October 1, 2026)

Alles nur, weil Trump seine Umfragewerte mit einem kurzen Militär-Quickie im Iran pushen wollte. Das jedoch löste eine destruktive Kettenreaktion sondergleichen aus, wie ein Elefant, nein, eine Atombombe im Porzellanladen. Diese Ära wird in ein paar Jahren zumindest gute Serien auf Netflix oder HBO erzeugen, und man wird sich fragen, wie zum Teufel ein Mensch wie Trump je an die Macht kommen konnte.

Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Law

President Trump signed an executive order on Friday night exempting Russia from a new sanctions measure that Congress passed last month, offering another economic lifeline to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin as the United States turns to Russia for help in lowering gas prices.

Trump puts new Russia sanctions that he recently signed into law on hold, citing national interest

Trump’s unexpected decision comes a week after he stunningly said the U.S. had agreed to purchase diesel from Russia to try to bring down global energy prices, despite that potentially hurting Ukraine in its war with Russia.

An AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll published Oct. 1 found that Americans disapprove of the president’s handling of the Iran war and blame him for higher prices.

Order to limit Starshield for Ukraine came from inside White House, sources say

The move to temporarily restrict the vital communications system came as President Donald Trump has pressured Kyiv to stop its attacks on Russian refineries, which he has blamed for the ​soaring energy prices that are denting his Republican Party‘s prospects in the November midterm elections.

But experts say that surge in energy costs is mainly the result of the US-Israeli war with Iran, which brought Iranian ​attacks on energy facilities and has largely shut the vital Strait of Hormuz.

With ‘Blood-Soaked War Criminal’ Set to Land in Mamdani’s NYC, Calls Grow to Arrest Netanyahu

In July, a YouGov poll found that 49% of Americans believed the US government should arrest Netanyahu under the warrant, 27% said it should not, and 23% were unsure.

President Donald Trump stated earlier this summer that Netanyahu “will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form” while visiting the US. His administration’s position, as stated in a February 2025 executive order, is that Netanyahu can’t be arrested. The ICC, it says, “has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel” because, unlike most other nations, neither is a party to the Rome Statute, which created the court.

Hold Your Nose And Vote

DeSantis is telling Republicans who are frustrated with their party’s candidates to vote for them anyway lest the DSA take the country “back to before the time of the American Revolution.”

Referring to GOP candidates as less-than-perfect, the governor insisted that the alternative is worse. State Rep. Angie Nixon, a DSA member, secured a major upset victory in August to become the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in November.

(…)

Fox News writer Amanda Macias announced that Democratic Socialists of America are “seeking to reshape some of the most basic features of the U.S. economy.” She then proceeded to lay out DSA’s core platform: universal healthcare, free public universities, student debt cancellation, a 32-hour workweek, and collecting higher taxes from the wealthy.

Macias’s framing of the benefits of socialism reads like the wish list of anyone who is horrified by rising healthcare costs while buried in student debt and working insane hours to keep their head above water. In the end, she asked the same tired question posed by so many critics: who’s going to pay for it all?

A new fleet of F-35s never draws that question.

The Democrats who aren’t criticizing John Fetterman

Sen. John Fetterman has faced a tide of public criticism from fellow Democrats as he stakes out lonely ground as a critic of the far-left wing of his party — and another wave rolled in Wednesday after he made a surprise video appearance at the Republican midterm convention.

So far, however, his Senate colleagues haven’t joined the pile-on.

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman appears in surprise video at GOP midterm convention

In the roughly one-minute video introducing McCormick on stage, Fetterman made clear that he is still a Democrat. But took aim at the rise of “socialism” in his own party – a notable and public rebuke to the Democrats’ left flank.

“Yes, I’m a Democrat. Why am I here talking to you today? Because well, I’m a common sense Democrat. I’m always going to stand with America. I’m always going to reject the extremes and socialism and that anti-American way of life,” Fetterman said in the pre-recorded video.
