Sunday: Jeffries says he's a "hard yes" on impeaching Hegseth.
Tuesday: no whip, 11 Dems no-show, GOP buries it 211–204.
Every day in the job is an audition for the next one. If you can't find 11 votes in the minority, you don't get the gavel in the majority.

Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. cnn.it/3XkyS4Z
Such a self-serving lie. If Crockett thought her endorsement of Talarico would have hurt Dems’ chances, how much more would her candidacy have hurt them? Why run in the first place?
It’s just a retroactive excuse for bad behavior.
Jasmine Crockett tells me she feels vindicated after she was criticized for her focus on supporting down-ballot candidates following her Senate primary loss to James Talarico:
“I know the demographics of my state. I know who’s voting, who’s not been voting. And frankly, every single thing that I said came to pass, even for the editorial boards that did not go into endorsements or lack thereof because of my platform, experience, but instead focused on the fact that my strategy was to do exactly what happened in Texas, which is that I wasn’t going to go after MAGA.
“And they said that you could never win that way. Well, guess what? Black and brown [people] showed up, and that is why Texas went blue.”

Impeach him after Hegseth.
We are in a constitutional crisis.👇

He couldn’t get Dems to show up for a vote after 58 days on vacation. Even YOU skipped it.
Unacceptable. @WhipKClark should resign her position as whip in disgrace. Coralling votes when margins are small is her only job.
Democrats need a real whip. Someone so mean even their own mother doesn’t like them.

Raskin: Well, AOC and I have a $50 gift ban bill, which has been on the back burner for years under the Republicans.
In Congress, we are all governed by a $50 gift ban. And we can’t accept anything much more than a baseball cap. And most people are scared to do that. We just don’t take gifts.
Meantime, at the Supreme Court, they’re collecting hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in so-called gifts from people who have a tremendous interest in the work of the Supreme Court. They take trips around the world. They take luxury vacations. They get, in Justice Thomas’s case, a $400,000 recreational vehicle, a motor coach.
I think Justice Thomas also picked up private school tuition for a great-nephew. I mean, just outrageous things. Members of Congress would go to jail for any of those things, and they’re just doing it.
So the $50 gift ban applies to Congress. It theoretically applies also to people in the executive branch, and it must apply to people in the judiciary, in the Supreme Court
Pathetic.
I asked Hakeem Jeffries about attendance appearing decisive in the Pete Hegseth vote. (11 House Dems did not vote tonight.)
He told me and reporters: "I haven't had a conversation with anyone on the floor team about what may or may not have happened in terms of the Hegseth resolution, but this is not the end of it. It's just the beginning."

As leader, his job is to be on top of this BEFORE the vote, not to do postmortems after. Democrats should consider other more effective leaders than Jeffries.

What happened last night regarding the impeachment vote on Pete Hegseth was deeply embarrassing.
Eleven House Democrats missed the vote. If they had been there, Hegseth would be impeached right now.
I’m not worried about impeachment itself. That will come in January.
I’m worried about the message this sends to the American people only a week after a seismic mandate was handed to the Democratic Party to get shit done.
I don’t care why these Members were absent or if this was some lowkey procedural strategy.
What I care about is the messaging, and at the moment, the narrative is: “Democrats said they want Hegseth gone, but can’t be bothered to show up to vote for it.”
That is not good.
All it would have taken is a simple message from House leaders: “We want Hegseth gone, but don’t trust current GOP leadership on this matter. We look forward to holding him accountable in January with the new Congress.”
Dem leaders really need to get it together on messaging. Immediately.
Attend a glitzy event for veterans.
OR
Vote to impeach the guy who’s sending them into non-sanctioned wars of aggression.

Most over-hyped, vacuous movie of the year.
It’s the ‘You Can See Everything’ interview you’ve been waiting for.
Nathan Fielder, Lance Oppenheim, and, yes, Amanda Seyfried discuss making — and processing — their top-secret, mind-bending documentary.

Republicans got trounced in the midterms and then decided to promote two of their most extreme figures, Jim Jordan and Stephen Miller.
The tsunami in 2028 is going to be even stronger.
Only a few years away from everyone pretending the never supported Trump.
Ben Shapiro now says he’s always been a moderate, Trump went too far on deportations, has failed on being sufficiently aggressive on Iran, and he’s endorsing Jon Ossoff for 2028.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This post fabricates statements from Ben Shapiro in a parody image labeled "PARODY," mimicking Krystal Ball's post about Alex Karp. Shapiro has not endorsed Jon Ossoff and supports strong U.S. policy on Iran.
