Trump yields on immigration enforcement. At the core of all this is a longstanding, deep divide over who should be deported. Everyone who is in the US illegally, period? Or only those who are in the US illegally *and* have committed additional crimes? In "60 Minutes" interview, Trump seemed to move from the former to the latter. washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/479…

Reading through Thomas Massie's articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth. There are 8 articles. Articles 1, 2, and 3 all accuse Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution by waging war in Iran. You might ask yourself: Did Pete Hegseth order US forces into action in Iran? I thought President Trump did that. That's a good question; from the very beginning, Hegseth appears to serve as a stand-in for Massie's real desire, which is to impeach Trump.

Article 4 is about the accidental hit on the Iranian school. Article 5 is about the drug boat attacks. Article 6 is about retaliating against Sen. Mark Kelly over the you-can-refuse-an-unlawful-order video. Article 7 is about the Venezuela attack and taking Nicolas Maduro into US custody. And Article 8 is about strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.

In all, Articles 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 are matters of the president's constitutional authority to wage war. If Massie wants to impeach somebody for those actions, the proper official to impeach is the president. Article 4 is about an accident by US forces in Iran. That leaves Article 6, the Mark Kelly matter, as the only issue for which Hegseth appears to bear some direct responsibility.

Massie is clearly pushing these articles because he is racing the clock against his own departure from Congress on January 3, having been defeated in a Republican primary in his home state of Kentucky. There is only so much time left to do damage, and with this BS impeachment, Massie is trying to make the most of it.

Trump yields on immigration enforcement. For the first time since taking office in January 2025, Trump sent a strong message to some illegal immigrants that they will be allowed to stay in the US. That was a stunning change in direction on the administration's signature issue. washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/479…

Are they auditioning for some sort of series?

From NYT: "U.S. Homeless Population Had Record Drop in 2025." And this: "The reasons for the decline are contested, though the trend likely reflects in part the ebbing of a crisis that began in 2022 when a wave of people seeking asylum were bused to Northern cities, where they flooded shelters. Most have since left." nytimes.com/2026/11/06/us/…
