20261110 Hegseth’s Impeachment

Impeach the Minister of War

If someone insists on being called the “Minister of War,” then he should get “war” if he places himself above the law. Ro Khanna, a Democratic congressman from Santa Clara, California, calls in his petition for support today for the impeachment of Pete Hegseth; he wrote to us last night:

Congress returns today. And House Democrats have a clear responsibility: hold Pete Hegseth accountable for his abuses of power.

My friend Rep. Thomas Massie has reintroduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth for violating the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution by:

Launching a war against Iran without congressional authorization

Continuing that war in violation of the War Powers Resolution and congressional demands to end it

Dismantling safeguards designed to protect civilians

Carrying out extrajudicial killings

Retaliating against Senator Mark Kelly for exercising his First Amendment rights

Abusing his office to conduct unauthorized military operations around the world (Venezuela, Iran)

I fully support Rep. Massie’s impeachment articles because no defense secretary is above the law. House Democrats must join me.

ADD YOUR NAME: Tell House Democrats to impeach Pete Hegseth. SIGN THE PETITION

Thomas Massie and I introduced the first War Powers Resolution to end the Iran war within its first week. We have continued to work across party lines to end this war because accountability cannot depend on which party is in power.

Our Constitution is not optional. The War Powers Resolution is not optional. No president or defense secretary can take our nation to war indefinitely without the consent of Congress. If Pete Hegseth is allowed to stay in office, he will remain a threat to our democracy and the American people.

With Congress back in session today, House Democrats must decide whether they will uphold their oath to defend the Constitution or let these abuses go unanswered.Add your name and demand that House Democrats vote to impeach Pete Hegseth.
