In today's episode, we're breaking down the 211–204 House vote on Hegseth's impeachment, why several Democrats missed it, and what could happen when Democrats take control of Congress in January.
We're also diving into the new 137-page Republican-led House Oversight Committee report on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. PLUS, the White House is warning Democrats that some of their planned congressional investigations could cross the line into criminal conduct. We explain what the Constitution actually allows Congress to investigate, what qualifies as a legitimate legislative purpose, and why an investigation being politically motivated doesn't automatically make it illegal.
Also in today's episode:
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang resigns following reports of affairs, including one involving a woman suspected of ties to Chinese intelligence.
Democrat Scott Colom wins Mississippi's closely contested Senate race, while Alaska's Senate race remains unresolved.
The Trump administration proposes changes to SNAP eligibility.
The Supreme Court allows border barrier construction to resume in West Texas.
Rumor Has It: Is the Trump administration rolling back pregnancy-related workplace protections? And did Trump confuse two people named Dana White?
We finish with Critical Thinking questions about congressional oversight, political motivations, and how the public should evaluate competing partisan investigations.
