If they impeach Hegseth in the next Congress, it would force Senate Dems to have to deal with an impeachment trial and take eyes off their legislative agenda

@MariannaReportsNov 10
House Republicans managed to prevent Sec. Hegseth from getting impeached this week, in part because 11 Democrats did not vote. Leader Jeffries told me he'll talk to relevant chairmen about how to approach Hegseth in the majority, but noted, "This is not the end of it, it's just the beginning."

Van Hollen criticized Schumer & DSCC in interview with @alivitali today: “We have two members in that room, newly elected senators, who would not be there if Schumer and the DSCC had had their way. And, you know, Schumer and the DSCC sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC against these candidates.”

So the anti-Schumer wing’s hopes now seem to rest on Van Hollen, who is simultaneously …not shutting the door, in listening mode, and kicking the tires on 2028, in one of the craziest mixed metaphors ever.

Gallego on why he’s backing Schumer: “Chuck and I have had our differences. I am in his office a lot more, I think, than he wants me to be in his office….At the end of the day, these are historic numbers. It's time for us to unify.”
