He couldn’t get Dems to show up for a vote after 58 days on vacation. Even YOU skipped it.

For the first time, @SpeakerPelosi. that's a disappointment. I think it's time you get out of the game.

Y’all do know that yesterday’s vote was NOT a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth, right?
It was a procedural vote on whether to REFER the articles of impeachment to the Judiciary Committee.
A YES vote meant sending the articles to committee rather than proceeding immediately with impeachment.
A NO vote meant rejecting that procedural maneuver so the impeachment effort could potentially move forward.
Nobody voted on whether to actually impeach Pete Hegseth yesterday.
And yes, I understand why some of y’all are upset that several Democrats got stuck in traffic and missed the vote. The vote was reportedly open for approximately 23 minutes, and some members arrived after it closed.
But even if those Democrats had made it and defeated the referral motion, that STILL would not have meant Pete Hegseth was impeached. The House would have needed to vote on the actual articles.
We can discuss accountability without misrepresenting what happened.
The misinformation on this app is dangerous, especially when people are repeating things they clearly do not understand.
Learn the difference between a procedural vote and a substantive vote before telling everybody what Congress did.

She has no intent to do the right thing. I feel it is
Important to have party leadership in hands of leaders who really care for people so that people like @SpeakerPelosi and @RepJeffries are not elected ever again.
According to @Rep_Stansbury, the Democrats couldn’t reach the Capitol due to a traffic incident. I just read they were at another event.

Tonight, House Republicans used a procedural motion to kill the impeachment of Pete Hegseth, by referring it to the Judiciary Committee.
Like other Members of Congress, Rep. Stansbury was blocked from entering the Capitol to vote due a traffic incident and a police escort of a bus during the vote. When she reached the chamber the vote had just gaveled out. She immediately filed a report of her vote of “NO” to the motion meant to kill the impeachment articles and refer them to the Judiciary Committee, as documented in the Congressional Record.
Pete Hegseth must be impeached now.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Despite this "traffic incident", 415 other members of the House were able to appear to vote.

The date and time of the procedure was known since November 9th.
