Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky has filed a resolution in the House of Representatives to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The swift action as soon as the House opened Monday, following the midterm elections, sets the stage for a dramatic vote on whether to remove one of the Trump’s administration’s most prominent figures following sweeping election losses. The resolution largely focuses on the war in Iran but also includes references to Hegseth’s role in carrying out military actions in Yemen and Venezuela. Massie said the secretary’s actions amount to “high crimes and misdemeanors.” A vote in the House could come by mid-week, putting pressure on Republicans — many of whom blamed their election wipeout on the Iran war.
Democrats in Congress are gearing up to challenge President Donald Trump's education policies, including the dismantling of the U.S. Education Department. With upcoming majorities in both houses of Congress, Democrats plan to use their oversight and appropriations powers to push back. However, Trump's veto power could limit their efforts to launching investigations and leveraging federal funding. Democrats on the Senate Appropriations Committee are considering adding conditions to spending bills to curb Trump's education agenda. Despite their new power, there's little optimism they can override Trump's veto on major education bills.

President Donald Trump said he ‘might have been too tough for voters’ on deportations and that he thinks he can work with Democrats on an immigration deal. But Trump and his Department of Justice are taking a combative stance toward congressional investigations after losing control of the House and Senate. Trump said the Democrats' requests for information from his administration are “extortion at the highest level." Speaking on his way to a Group of 7 foreign ministers meeting in Paris, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the war against Iran wasn't “necessarily popular” but Trump had to launch it to safeguard the world from Iran's nuclear ambitions.
The White House aims to use talks with Ukrainian and Russian officials to persuade Moscow to agree to broader negotiations involving European officials. U.S. officials said Monday that President Donald Trump’s envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, plan to meet with counterparts from Germany, France, Britain, Italy, NATO and the European Union. That meeting comes before trilateral negotiations with Russian and Ukrainian officials. Those talks are scheduled Tuesday and Wednesday. Russia has resisted European participation in peace talks. But a U.S. official said the White House believes Europe must be involved in finding an endgame to the war.
