Impeach the man: Yesterday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.) introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. "Massie has alleged that the war is unconstitutional, because the Trump administration launched the conflict without the approval of lawmakers and has since continued military action despite Congress demanding that the Pentagon cease hostilities," reports The Washington Post. Massie has long opposed executive abuse of warmaking powers and has frequently admonished his colleagues to serve as legitimate checks on the president, specifically when it comes to foreign policy.
The resolution alleges, per NPR: "3 charges for illegally waging war against Iran in violation of the War Powers Resolution; 1 charge for ignoring laws designed to minimize civilian casualties; 1 charge for overseeing 'extrajudicial killings' in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean with strikes on alleged drug boats; 1 charge for suppressing free speech, brought in connection to the effort to punish Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., for a video telling service members they can refuse illegal orders; 1 charge for the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro without congressional authorization; 1 charge for illegally waging war against Yemen in violation of the War Powers Resolution."
