House Democrats will introduce five articles of impeachment against Defense Sec Pete Hegseth on Wednesday [View all]

I agree with the article--it has no chance of passing the House--but hope it will bring more attention the White House corruption!! by Trump and his Cabinet--and anyone involved in keeping him of the Oval Office!!
November is LONG way off--but Dems need to keep the pressure on the corruption!!
