Stunning Republican losses in the midterms could spell the end of Pete Hegseth’s tenure as the secretary of defense. From Vice President JD Vance to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky), Hegseth’s own party is setting him up to take the fall for election losses blamed on the U.S. war with Iran.

Democrats are preparing to investigate President Donald Trump’s brazen regime once they take control of Congress in January — and tellingly, a bunch of conservative influencers seem to think the investigations are warranted.
While gorging myself on right-wing analysis of the midterms last weekend, I noticed a trend of these influencers openly saying that corruption has been rampant among people in Trump’s orbit. Former health official Calley Means has gained attention for his claims about corruption within the Trump administration, but he’s certainly not the only one on the right who is sounding the alarm.

Will they have the discipline to focus on the criminals inside and around the WH, or will they seek the limelight of harassing RFK JR and Elon, which will backfire?— Cernovich (@Cernovich) November 5, 2026
The point here is not that these claims are revelatory or to be taken as fact simply because they’re coming from folks who
The prominent journalist Abed Abu Shehadeh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, has been released from Israeli custody after five days in detention. He was arrested on Wednesday by armed police and Shin Bet agents who conducted a nighttime raid on his home in the Israeli city of Jaffa. Abu Shehadeh’s detention was related to his reporting on the October 27 Israeli election and the role of Palestinian…
