MARGARET BRENNAN: Secretary Hegseth released a video Thursday arguing that attempts to oust him from office are about his rebuilding of the force Here's a clip.
(BEGIN VC)
PETE HEGSETH (Defense Secretary): Diversity is not our strength. Our unity is. Men and women, they're not the same thing, but in the military they must be held to the same standard. Strong young men who believe in something greater than themselves are admirable.
(END VC)
MARGARET BRENNAN: Went on to call being transgender a mental illness. He dismissed a reference to white rage. He said that seemed to be maybe about renaming military bases and taking confederate general names off of them.
Of all of these initiatives, what do you think the impact has been on the U.S. military?
NANCY LACORE: You know, I've said since I launched this campaign, Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified secretary that this nation has seen. He has caused significant damage to us as a country and put us at risk and really damaged the readiness of our entire military force. He is focused on the wrong things. He should be focused on strategy and readiness instead of these things that are down in the trenches.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, what do you think would be an impeachable offense? Because I know there is an effort underway in this Congress to do so. You've said you hope that gets taken care of before you come to Washington.
NANCY LACORE: Yes, I mean, I think there's probably plenty. And I do believe that this will be handled before I get there. You know, we can talk – we can tie this war as one thing that is extremely damaging to our country. Some of the things that we saw going on down – off Venezuela as well. But really it comes back to, you know, it's all a part of the problem with the corruption and the lack of strategy which is doing nothing but really driving up costs for people. And that's what people really care about. And so, that's what I want to focus on when I get to Congress.
KARL: Well, let me ask you about Pete Hegseth because Thomas Massie, of course a Republican, tells me that he intends to introduce a resolution of impeachment of Hegseth, as defense secretary, as soon as tomorrow? Are you going to support that? Will Democrats vote in favor of that impeachment resolution?
JEFFRIES: I'm a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution. The so-called secretary of defense has abused his power, undermined our national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran, which has skyrocketed prices on the American people and made the country less safe. Pete Hegseth has got to go.
KARL: And you’re confident -- all of the Democrats are going to join you on that?
JEFFRIES: We’ll certainly have that conversation on Tuesday morning when we reconvene for the first time in Washington, D.C. But I believe there will be incredibly strong support for that resolution.
With a vote on his impeachment looming next week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is digging in his heels and vowing to stay at his Pentagon post for the rest of the Trump administration.
Hegseth has reassured his allies that he is not angling for Marsha Blackburn’s Tennessee seat in a Senate that will now be controlled by Democrats, Pentagon officials said.
If his congressional opponents vote to impeach him, Hegseth will seek to use the confrontation as a platform to aggressively defend his agenda, which includes the war with Iran, the ouster of senior military officers and rolling back past diversity policies.
Until Friday, there had been talk that a save face measure might be available. Senator Marsha Blackburn, a Republican, had run for governor of Tennessee and was elected last Tuesday. It was floated that Hegseth wanted to be appointed by her to her spot. The move from Secretary of Defense to US senator was thought to be a face saver for Priss Pot. But on Friday, that opportunity appeared to vanish. Bennito L. Kelty (RAW STORY) adds:
Speculation about Hegseth picked up at the end of September, when he attended a University of Tennessee football game that Trump and Blackburn also went to, the Banner reported. Hegseth also owns a home in Sumner County, Tennessee.
But a source close to Blackburn repeatedly denied that any meeting or conversation about the appointment took place, the outlet reported. The same source told the Banner and other reporters this week that "D.C. won't pick the next senator."
President Donald Trump scurried away from reporters Friday who asked about his new loser status.
[. . .]
Trump quickly departed from the press gaggle, as one reporter shouted after him, “How does it feel to lose?” The president continued to flee and did not respond.
“Congress has been given a mandate by the American people. When we return to Washington, we’ll be ready to answer the call. We’re going to work together to bring down the cost of gas and groceries, ensure everyone has access to quality, affordable health care, reverse Trump’s harmful tariffs, rein in the unauthorized war in Iran, and advance legislation that delivers tangible results for every American, regardless of how they voted. It’s time to build a brighter future for our country, and we’re ready to get to work.”
Last night, Americans sent a clear message:
They are sick of Donald Trump’s bulls**t.
They are tired of him promising one thing in the morning then going back on his word by the afternoon.
They’re done with him putting his self-interest over our national interest.
So we’re here today to let those folks know that we hear them.
That we’re with them.
That we’re just as pissed off as they are.
And that… with Juliana joining our ranks in DC… we’re going to use every seat we gained to fight back against Trump and fight for what American families really need.
The reality is, from utility bills to grocery bills, health care to child care, far too many Americans feel like they’re one bad day… one doctor’s appointment… one stop at the gas pump away from disaster.
Far too many fifth-generation farmers have told me that they can’t sleep at night, because they don’t know if they can hold on long enough to hand the farm to a sixth generation.
Meanwhile, Trump has quite literally said that he doesn’t “give a damn” about inflation so long as he makes a fortune. And every day, his actions show that he means it.
Well, I give a damn. We give a damn.
That’s why you better believe that in this next Congress, we’re going to fight
Where there is corruption, there is Toad Blanche. Pocharapon Neammanee (HUFFINGTON POST) notes:
U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche drew online criticism after jumping in to represent incoming White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, with people reminding him he’s not supposed to be the administration’s personal lawyer.
“I’ll tell you what, Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It’s me. It’s me and the entire Department of Justice,” Blanche told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham Friday night.
[. . .]
[US House Rep Robert] Garcia took another jab at Blanche during an appearance on MS NOW on Saturday, telling the panel, “He’s not the lawyer of the president, even though in his head that’s what he wants to be”
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) told Blanche on X “You did not swear an oath to trump, or to trump’s chief of staff. You swore an oath to the United States Constitution.”
Stephen Miller's promotiong has caught the attention of Congress. Senator Alex Padilla's office issued the following on Stephen Miller:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) released the following statement after President Trump announced Stephen Miller will be the next White House Chief of Staff:
“Five days ago, Americans across the country loudly and clearly rejected Donald Trump’s agenda. Voters demand lower costs, an end to the chaos, and a government that works for them. I know Trump heard them, but sadly and predictably, he’s choosing to double down, handing the keys of the West Wing to the man most responsible for this Administration’s failures and most harmful policies.
“Stephen Miller is the architect of the cruelest immigration policies this country has seen in modern times: family separations, detainment of babies and children, militarized raids, arbitrary arrest quotas, and the horror unleashed in communities across the country. Californians have watched federal agents target their neighborhoods, terrorize families outside our schools and workplaces, and sow fear in communities across the state.
“Trump is doubling down – so will we. We will use every tool at our disposal – oversight, investigations, subpoenas, and our leverage over federal funding – to expose this Administration’s abuse of power and hold those responsible accountable.”
###
Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released the following statement after Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller had been promoted to serve as Trump’s Chief of Staff.
"Just days after the American people rejected his corrupt and lawless presidency, Donald Trump is doubling down. Stephen Miller is the architect of the unconstitutional ICE raids that have terrorized our communities and kidnapped and killed American citizens and immigrant families.
"Oversight Democrats will continue to investigate Miller for his misconduct, and we will fight against his hateful policies in Congress and the courts.
"Stephen Miller should lawyer up," said Ranking Member Robert Garcia.

BASH: Hello. I'm Dana Bash in Washington, where the state of our union is watching a sea change. It is a new day in Washington, as the scope of the Democrats' extraordinary sweeping election win is becoming clearer and clearer. But, for Republicans, the new reality is just settling in, and there are growing signs this morning that President Trump is digging in. He elevated his most controversial aide, Stephen Miller, to be his chief of staff. And, yesterday, the president ordered his Justice Department to look into Democratic leaders for -- quote -- "threatening to investigate" his administration. You're going to hear from both sides this morning. In moments, I'm going to speak with the Democratic leader who is warning the president's whole orbit to -- quote -- "lawyer up." But, first, let's start with the Attorney General. Here with me now is Attorney General Todd Blanche. Thank you so much for being here this morning, sir. President Trump said -- quote -- "I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act" -- end quote. Are you going to follow that order and investigate Democratic members of Congress? And what is the criminal act you think he's referring to?
TODD BLANCHE, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL: Well, what we have seen over the past several days and even over the past several weeks are outright threats, many -- many by elected members of Congress and some senators against anybody that's conservative and anybody that happens to be a Republican. They have threatened donors. They have threatened individuals who are in college and might want to work for conservative institutions or for a conservative government or for President Trump. And that is extremely troubling, and it should be troubling to everybody in this country.
And over the last several days, we have seen the rhetoric even rise up, to the point where they're already -- before they're even in power, they're already talking about investigations and impeachments, with no basis, no facts, just out there running around. That should be something that President Trump is very concerned about, and certainly I am as well.
These are not "outright threats." There are no threats of violence. This is the wining party announcing that they will exercise oversight -- something that has been missing in Congress for nearly two years now. The administration has been breaking rules -- continues to break rules -- and the incoming Congress is noting that those days are over and that there will be investigations. A threat?
A threat would be, "You do this or we're doing that." There's no threat. There is simply the announcement that this Congress intends to follow the law and, of course, nothing could trouble Toad Blanche more than someone wanting to follow the law.
BASH: Yes, well, they are they are talking about investigation as part of their oversight role that is prescribed by the Constitution, which you know is very well laid out. Is that what you're concerned about?
BLANCHE: Wait. Hold on a second. Sorry.
BASH: Or you're concerned about something else?
BLANCHE: Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no, no, no. They have a very unique role in oversight. I agree. Have you been listening to the rhetoric the past couple days? You honestly think that all they're doing is talking about their oversight obligations when they're talking about going after basically every member of the Cabinet, they're talking about impeachments, they're talking about going after companies, private companies who happen to have made investments in this country over the past couple of years? That is not oversight. I welcome oversight. Oversight is exactly something they should be doing.
No, he doesn't welcome oversight. He's made that obvious in the case journalist Katie Phang has brought against him over the release of The Epstein Files. He has refused to comply repeatedly with the judge's orders in that case. Blanche does not welcome oversight, he instead attempts to elude it.
BASH: So are you saying that you are going to investigate them? And what you just described, is there a crime there?
BLANCHE: Well, what I just -- it depends on what's said. So, yes, there could be. You have free speech in this country. You are you are allowed to be critical of President Trump, of me, of this administration. But when the threats become so vile and so dangerous that you are telling people in college that they better be careful if they want to work in the Trump administration because somebody will come after them, at some point, you have to draw the line. And I'm not saying that -- necessarily that every case is going to be prosecuted, but we have a real problem at this -- in this country if a young person in college is getting threatened by a United States senator that, if they go to work for President Trump, they're going to be subjected to investigations and lawyers. You have an incoming chairman threatening without -- they're not even in charge yet -- saying "Lawyer up" to anybody in particular. So, if that doesn't bother you, if that doesn't bother your viewers, then we really need to kind of wake up in this country, because it certainly bothers me.
BASH: So what Democrats argue is the record that you have so far in the Justice Department is going after some of the president's perceived enemies in court, without success, from James Comey, to Letitia James, even a former Olympian who was accused of vandalism at the Reflecting Pool, which was dismissed. So, how is the way that the DOJ is going after, unsuccessfully, the president's perceived enemies any less sort of egregious, to use the way that you described it, than what they're doing?
BLANCHE: You selectively talked about three cases over the past two years...
BASH: Those are just examples.
BLANCHE: ... as opposed to the -- as opposed to the thousands and thousands of cases this Department of Justice has brought over the past two years. There's a reason why crime is at historic lows. And while you can spend your time on Sunday morning talking about two investigations and two cases, one of which is ongoing, by the way, and cases where, by the way, this Department of Justice dismissed the charges against that Olympian -- so after there was charges brought and new information came to light...
BASH: Yes. Yes.
BLANCHE: ... the charges were dismissed.
BASH: A judge also said that he would dismiss it also.
BLANCHE: So while it's easy for -- while it's easy for you to talk about -- while it's easy for you to talk about...
BASH: But I'm talking about the -- in terms of politics and perceived political enemies, which is what you're bringing up here. But I do want to ask you about another thing that the president said. He said that the Democratic lawmakers are extortionists and they should be imprisoned. Is that a possibility?
BLANCHE: Well, it depends on what the -- what the crime is and what they have done. But, listen, what President Trump is talking about -- and it's easy -- it's easy to sit here and talk about the president's TRUTHS without actually talking about what he's responding to -- is you have members of Congress who after Tuesday have done nothing but threaten everything that's happening in this administration.
That is not governing. That is not leading. That is not oversight. I mean, you have Stephen Miller getting promoted to chief of staff, and, within moments, within moments, the leaders of the Senate and the Congress start threatening him, OK? That's not oversight. That's not governing. That's not leading. That's actually a disappointment. And it's sad. And the president has every right...
Yes, real accountability is sad for a crook like Toad who doesn't respect the law or his position as Attorney General. He's either too stupid or too crooked to grasp what his role is supposed to be -- probably a combination of too stupid and too crooked. What he is doing is threatening Congress. It's not going to work because Congress has the law and the Constitution on their side. But he thinks he can threaten and bully and scare because that's how he and Chump and the rest of the administration have behaved for nearly two years now.
Lawmakers amplify concerns raised by state student loan ombudspersons in 7 states and D.C.
“Failures in federal student loan servicing have repeatedly posed severe and costly problems for American families”
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) led 31 colleagues on a letter to Department of Education (ED) Secretary Linda McMahon highlighting serious concerns regarding the federal student loan servicing system that were recently raised by a coalition of eight state Student Loan Ombudspersons.
“Failures in federal student loan servicing have repeatedly posed severe and costly problems for American families. . . . Rather than tackle these servicing failures, the Trump administration has enabled more to occur,” wrote the lawmakers.
In September 2026, the Student Loan Ombudspersons in Massachusetts, Washington, California, Oregon, Nevada, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, and Illinois sent a letter to Secretary McMahon highlighting “recurring systemic problems involving income-driven repayment (IDR) plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) that materially affect borrowers’ payment obligations, loan balances, and access to forgiveness.” The Ombudspersons raised a host of specific issues, including inaccurate calculations of monthly payments, loan balances, and IDR payment counts, and severe delays in the processing of IDR applications.
“The scale and severity of the errors documented by the Student Loan Ombudspersons—and their recommended solutions—demand immediate consideration and a meaningful response,” concluded the lawmakers.
Federal representatives from all eight jurisdictions represented by the Ombudspersons signed the letter. In addition to Senator Warren and Representative Pressley, the letter was signed by U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), along with U.S. Representatives Julia Brownley (D-Calif.), Judy Chu (D-Calif.), Lou Correa (D-Calif.), Jim Costa (D-Calif.), John Garamendi (D-Calif.), Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.), Mark Takano (D-Calif.), Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Joe Courtney (D-Conn.), Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), Danny Davis (D-Ill.), Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.), Bill Keating (D-Mass.), Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), Lori Trahan (D-Mass.), Dina Titus (D-Nev.), Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.), Val Hoyle (D-Ore.), Emily Randall (D-Wash.), and Kim Schrier (D-Wash).
