Thomas Massie is a terrible lawmaker, and I'm glad to see him go, but his articles of impeachment against Hegseth are devastating and self-evident. It is to the current House's great shame that it failed.

Under normal circumstances, even a single one of these charges would result in the secretary's resignation or firing. But under the current president, the only grounds for that are disloyalty (to him). War crimes are just part of the job.
