## Key points

- The House blocked an impeachment effort against Pete Hegseth.
- Thomas Massie accused him of breaking laws and the Constitution.
- Tom Morello discussed music and resistance to authoritarianism.

## Summary

The House voted 211 to 204 to send impeachment articles against Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, effectively stopping the effort for now. Republican Thomas Massie accused Hegseth of illegally waging war in Iran and Yemen and overseeing extrajudicial killings; the vote leaves Hegseth in office while Democrats prepare to take control of both chambers in January.

The article also reports comments from congressman-elect Richard Ojeda, who says he intends to pursue impeachment and criminal charges. National security reporter Nick Turse argues Hegseth still has much to answer for, while musician Tom Morello discusses his new album and describes art and speaking truth as forms of resistance to war and authoritarianism.
