House set to vote to impeach Hegseth. And, SCOTUS allows border wall work to proceed

Résumé détaillé

The House could vote to impeach Hegseth, but removing him from office will be tough. And, SCOTUS ruled that a federal judge did not have the authority to halt border wall construction.

The House may vote this week on a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-KY, reintroduced articles of impeachment accusing Hegseth of high crimes and misdemeanors. The eight specific charges include three charges for illegally waging war against Iran, one for ignoring laws to minimize civilian casualties, one for overseeing extrajudicial killings of alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, and one for capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro without congressional authorization. Hegseth has called the articles a sham.
