On today's News Brief: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth calls moves to impeach him over alleged abuse of power in the Iran war a “farce,” Rubio declares Iran sanctions and naval blockade are working well, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform releases investigation on the mishandling of the Epstein Files, and Ohio Rep.

On today's News Brief: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth calls moves to impeach him over alleged abuse of power in the Iran war a "farce," Rubio declares Iran sanctions and naval blockade are working well, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform releases investigation on the mishandling of the Epstein Files, and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan is elected leader of the incoming House minority.

Pete Hegseth has made enemies in Washington. But making enemies is not an impeachable offense. If Hegseth has seriously abused his office, Congress should establish the facts and make its case. If lawmakers disagree with the president's military policies, they can wield the power of the purse and war powers legislation without resorting to impeachment.

Congress is confronting an uncomfortable question: Can America protect its most valuable artificial intelligence technology when the companies that build it have huge financial interests in China?

There's no shortage of takeaways from last Tuesday's shellacking, but one of the most unfortunate is the door the GOP's drubbing opened for radical Islam. In Michigan, which is sounding more like an arm of the Tehran propaganda machine every day, two of the most powerful offices are laying an unnerving groundwork for the nation's next chapter. As Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed openly warned in his victory speech, winning his seat was never the goal. "The goal is to use that seat to transform our politics." And that's what every American should be afraid of.

While perusing 2016 exit poll data for a recent article, I stumbled across a result so jaw-dropping that it deserved its own special treatment. When asked how they felt about the state of the country, the most common response voters gave was anger. That sentiment, perhaps more than any other, explains the depth of defeat Republicans experienced in the midterm election.

The sun still came up Wednesday morning, despite a dark night for the Republican soul. And while the view of Washington, D.C. looks the same from these office windows, the reality is that the landscape of the city has radically changed. By almost biblical proportions, good men and women were sent packing, the collateral damage of America's final judgment on Donald Trump. Both parties have been here before, digging through the rubble of another agonizing chapter of self-reflection. But there were lessons for both sides in Tuesday's verdict. And the question that will shape everything going forward is this: which party learned them?

Exit poll data from tens of thousands of voters allow analysts to investigate narratives surrounding the 2026 election with empirical data. For example, was the Republican collapse due in part to a loss of support from evangelicals? The answer is both no and yes.

Senior Writer, The Washington Stand

Voters on Tuesday delivered a stunning sweeping victory for Democratic incumbents and challengers across America,  giving them substantial majorities in both the Senate and House and presenting President Donald Trump with the prospect of facing a flood of time-consuming subpoenas, hostile congressional inquiries, and impeachment hearings.

Call it a tale of two states. Both Republican-run. Both prosperous. Both heavily populated states that influence the rest of the nation. Yet in the blue tsunami, the results in Texas and Florida were very different. Why was the outcome in Florida so different than in Texas, which Governor Ron DeSantis referred to as Florida's "chief rival, in a healthy sense"?

President Donald Trump may order another round of strikes against Iran after Tuesday's midterm elections. Before he does, the Pentagon owes Americans straight answers about eight months of fighting.
