A lot what you say is true, but this was doomed to fail. All Democrats present voted against and all Republicans voted pro (this was to move impeachment articles to judiciary committee effectively killing it), there were also 7 Republicans not present.

If Democrats had the number in quite sure Johnson would wait for the other 7 to show up. How Republicans voted clearly shows us that Hegseth is safe at least until January.

    I mean be realistic. Democrats won big, but until January it is the same environment we had for the past 2 years. Republicans still control everything.

    Until January there's no impeachment of anyone unless some Republicans defect and they showed us they rather double down.

    I didn't like Jefferies as a speaker I don't trust him and I don't think he even has necessary skills, but this specific thing is not his fault.

    I agree Hegseth’s days are numbered and it wasn’t getting through the senate, but it was a very bad look right after the midterms when everyone is watching. I guess it’s irritating to me they aren’t present for their most basic job. It looks like complacency has set in. like they’re accustomed to being the loser party so why try?
