So, Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the guy Hakeem Jeffries picked to be one of the people to lead any Hegseth impeachment, is QUESTIONING whether we should even actually impeach Hegseth????
👀 @RepAdamSmith, incoming HASC chair, calls for Democrats to "take a minute" on whether to impeach Hegseth next year. Says he believes Hegseth has committed impeachable offense and should be removed, but should weigh "what's our best approach to achieve our broader objectives?"

Senator Blumenthal answered Aaron Reitz’s demand to preserve documents with a preservation demand of his own.
It’s patently absurd to suggest that there’s a criminal predicate here. But even if there were…why exactly would the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas be the one to prosecute it?

This is as good as advertised.
This Mississippi mom talking about what Scott Colom winning means for parents and kids across Mississippi is so powerful and represents what so many parents in “deep red” states feel.

You wouldn’t be shutting down the government. You’d be offering a bill that funds the government but prohibits any funds for the war. If Republicans oppose that, they would be choosing to continue the war *and* shut down the government.
NEW: Senior Dems resist shutdown threat to end Iran war. “I want the war to end. Would shutting down the gov make that more likely, or would it just hand the Republicans a political victory while the war continues?” said Rep. Adam Smith w/ @ahmadihamed_ washingtonsun.com/congress/d…

My father Earvin Johnson Sr. was born in Mississippi. Man, I wish he was alive to see Scott Colom become the first Black senator from the state in over 140 years! 🙌🏾

I’m pretty amazed that this is getting this sort of reaction. Van Hollen has clearly been a darling of the left for at least the last 18 months. Abdul said he wanted him to replace Schumer in July and no one batted an eye

KIROS: This is the wealthiest, most powerful country on Earth. And over 100,000 Americans die every single year because they don’t have access to health care. The number one cause of bankruptcy in this country is medical bankruptcy. Medicare for All is the only answer. Our job is to make sure that we make that case to the American people.

Rep. Correa, and only Rep. Correa, gets a pass on missing the Hegseth vote “I was having open heart surgery” is a valid excuse, “I didn’t realize DC traffic would be bad at 5:30pm on a Tuesday” is not
Thank you to everyone who has reached out with prayers, well wishes, and words of encouragement. Your kindness means a great deal to my family and me. On Tuesday, November 10th, I underwent emergency open-heart surgery. The surgery went well, and I am now recovering. When medically cleared, I’ll return to Washington, D.C., and continue fighting for Orange County. In the meantime, I’ll continue working from the district alongside my team to serve our constituents. To the doctors, surgeons, nurses, and medical staff: Thank you for the extraordinary care you’ve provided and the compassion you've shown my family. Nos vemos pronto.

Btw the guy on DeSantis’ campaign who shared the Sonnenrad video currently works for the State Department as Rubio’s chief speechwriter and deputy director of policy planning
does no one remember that DeSantis launched his presidential campaign in 2024 with a Twitter space and had a dude make him an ad with a Sonnenrad

Yep. Massive electoral overpeformers like James Talarico ran as far away from Bernie’s message as possible — lambasting a rigged economic system that makes it impossible for working people to get by, calling out the greed of billionaires and advocating raising their taxes, focusing on a top-versus-bottom vs. left-versus-right division, raising the minimum wage, getting big money out of politics… HEY WAIT A MINUTE
If the election was a test of whether Americans like Sanders’s message more or less than the standard Democratic message, the answer was clear: They like it less. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…
