House Democrats

Five House Democrats introduced impeachment articles targeting Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth before he's even been confirmed.

More than 50 House Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are calling for the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office after his social media threat that "a whole civilization will die tonight" targeting Iran. The push follows Trump's April 8 statements critics describe as threatening genocide, with Rep. Chellie Pingree warning "this man has the nuclear codes." Success remains unlikely as it requires VP Vance and a Cabinet majority to declare Trump unfit—a Cabinet described as "subservient" by analysts.
