Thomas Massie Is Right To Impeach Pete Hegseth

Four Reason editors discuss Rep. Thomas Massie’s push to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran. They consider whether impeachment could help end the war, argue that President Donald Trump is ultimately responsible for his administration’s actions, and ask whether Congress will reassert its authority over military decisions.

The podcast also covers Trump’s appointment of Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff after a crushing midterm defeat, and whether Democrats are overreading their electoral mandate. Other topics include Bernie Sanders’s call to expand Medicare, Elizabeth Warren’s plans to target major corporations, possible 2028 presidential contenders J.D. Vance and Jon Ossoff, and a listener’s question about pride in free and fair elections.
