A vote for an impeachment motion against US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth - initiated, mark you, by Republican Representative Thomas Massie - has failed, blocked by loyal (read "feckless") Republicans. The vote was 211 to 204, and ALL Republicans apart from Massie trod the party line.
This was disappointing, of course. But then I found out that this was the OLD Trump-supporting House of Representatives that was voting. The "Blue Tsunami" of Democrats that was elected earlier this month have not taken their places yet.
Which, of course, begs the question of why Mr. Massie decided to bring forward his impeachment motion now, and not wait until the beginning of January, when he would have had a much more receptive and anti-Trump/Hegseth/war House.
Curiouser and curiouser.
