Republicans buried Pete Hegseth’s impeachment by seven votes last night, 211 to 204. In January they lose the House. These letters build the to-do list for the new Congress. Each one takes 30 seconds:

Watching veterans take these seats after everything this year feels like the right kind of full circle. Feeling grateful!

Thinking about my father and my two brothers who served in the Marines and Air Force. And thinking about all those Wounded Warriors who can really use our financial support as well.

So grateful for all their service and sacrifice and that of their families.

Impeach, convict, and imprison.

Kay Curry's avatar

Yes. Impeached and charged. Not able to be elected or put into any office.

He is just like 45/47. A disgraceful human being!!

I’m feeling a bit deflated today. I’ve been so thrilled by what we’ve accomplished in this election but last night Hegseth skated out of an impeachment when eleven democrats didn’t show up? What’s that about? Come on folks ya gotta at least show up.

Sandy S's avatar

I hear you Cathy. I'm wondering if those dems didn't expect the vote to happen until a day or 2 later? I'm guessing the rep's saw their chance and ran with it. We need answers on this.

There was an accident that kept at least Stansbury from arriving in time but she voted to send to committee afterwards so why bother?

Every Veterans Day, especially, and many other days I think about my deceased son, Deceased husband, deceased father, 3 uncles and paternal grandfather who ALL serviced in our military. What Hegseth has done and is doing to our Country, and especially our great Military and Veterans is disgusting and cowardly! And criminal in my opinion! He needs to be impeached and barred from any government job or access ever again! As does Trump!

And Trumps “Arch”, which will block views, access and potentially shadow the hallowed grounds of Arlington Cemetery is a disgrace and a slap in the face to all military families! It needs to be stopped cold! Now! Our cities are NOT his to do with as he likes! Please, please stop this disgraceful egotistical man.

Bless you and your family Chrissy! I so agree about Hegseth needing to be brought to justice. And that goes for DJT, too when I think about he and his sons making money off of their military related contracts.

Happy Veterans Day. Thankful for everyone who served. And everyone in this community who has stood by our side through this entire fight. These wins feel personal.

Pete Hegseth will be impeached. People need to have some patience. It took a while to make November happen and in the next two months we will be building the case against him. When we take the house and the Senate - he’s toast.

Thank you, army dad, army granddad and navy granddad.

Thanks Scott for keeping them front and center.

Heroes, all.

Do you have any comments on the Democrats who missed the Hegseth vote yesterday?

Chrissy Davis's avatar

They know the area, they know what traffic is like! They knew how important the vote was and should have scheduled time to be there early! I’m so disappointed and frustrated! We supported them in elections, pay their salaries, at least they could get to work in time to support us!

Kay Curry's avatar

I do. They should have been there definitely. I don't understand why they weren't.

Roger Helbig's avatar

Until you do, then you should be asking why and not just condemning them without evidence,

Jsnetts's avatar

It’s my understanding that the minority party does not get a heads up on when a vote will happen.

Roger Helbig's avatar

They probably avoided impeaching Hegseth when no one knows if we have 67 Senate votes to convict. Massie also wanted a hurry up vote and may have had it on a day when a number of Members would be expected to not be in Washington.

53 days left. Today I'm thinking about my uncle Max, a naturalized citizen originally from a small town in Austria, who joined the Army to fight Nazis. He was injured in combat, during which he showed his heroism while under attack. He received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. We have so much work to do to make sure the new Nazis in our country are defeated, so we have to keep showing up. #MakeChangeHappen

Thank goodness, Loyalty to the constitution prevails among veterans

In a just world Hegseth would be arrested and tried for murder.

Thank you for this article which highlights the veterans who are truly about service. First the service and sacrifice in the military and now the rigors of standing up for the Constitution with strength and discipline and principles in Congress. It's amazing. Also highlighted are the women with long careers of leadership, achievement, sacrifice.Hegseth is and has been an insult to everything they stood for and worked for. Bringing him to accountability is not revenge. It's putting America back on track and better. 👏
