The Dworkin Report pulled both sets of impeachment articles against Hegseth, the one from September and the one from Monday. I put them side by side and went through them line by line. Almost nothing changed. The charges are the same. One still quotes Hegseth’s own words: “Maximum lethality, not tepid legality.” One number changed that I can’t stop looking at. In September, the articles said Hegseth’s strikes on boats had killed at least 221 people. Monday’s version says at least 243. The strikes went from 63 to 69 and the boats hit from 67 to 73, right alongside it. Republicans left town in September without voting on any of it. Hegseth kept going. The paperwork now counts 22 more dead than it did the first time they ran from this vote. Last night, they ran again. The vote was 211 to 204 to send the charges to a committee they control, where they can sit on them for their last 53 days. Hours earlier, Hegseth stood at the Pentagon and said of the operations in those articles, “I would do it again tomorrow.” Every Republican who voted to hide him owns those numbers now. Impeach.
