Several House Democrats landed themselves in hot water for missing the vote to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth — with some of them claiming they got stuck in traffic on the way back from an event hosted by minority whip Katherine Clark’s (D-MA) Elect Democratic Women PAC that was scheduled at the same time.

Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY)  Tuesday evening effort to oust Hegseth was foiled by his fellow House Republicans in a 211-204 vote, which could have ended differently if the 11 Democrats who were absent had showed up on time.

Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Alexander Darchiev, has died suddenly at age 66, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.

The ministry did not disclose the cause of Darchiev’s death. In a statement, it called him an “an outstanding diplomat, experienced leader, kind colleague and mentor,” and a “professional of the highest order and a brilliant expert on American affairs.”

Darchiev had served as Russia’s ambassador to the United States since March 2025.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Darchiev called it a “necessary measure,” The Guardian reported. In December 2025, when the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs held a hearing on Russian abductions of Ukrainian children, the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-.S.C., invited Darchiev to the hearing, but the ambassador did not attend.

The World Bank reports the average life expectancy for a man in Russia is about 68 years.

A report from City Journal accuses California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) of building his multi-million-dollar wine empire using illegal migrant labor — suggesting the potential presidential candidate has held a secretive, vested financial stake in promoting illegal immigration.

The report... reveals that “Newsom’s business has contracted the services of a vineyard management company with a long history of employing illegal labor.”

And as governor, Newsom has leveraged tax dollars to facilitate the presence of illegal immigrants in California, which, in turn, helps prop up the struggling Napa wine industry from which he profits.

Another source told City Journal that “about 80 percent” of the vineyard workers in California’s wine industry are illegal aliens. The management company contracted by Newsom’s business, the source said, is certainly aware that it employs illegal aliens.

For years, supporters of Israel have been warning that American public opinion is turning against the Jewish state. Well, folks, the warning lights aren’t just flashing anymore. They’re practically screaming.

...we’re not talking about a small shift in public opinion; we’re talking about a dramatic change in how Americans view one of America’s closest allies.

Consider this stunning statistic. Back in the 2024 exit polls during the presidential election, 31% of Americans believed the United States was providing too much support to Israel. Fast-forward to 2026, and that number has skyrocketed to 51%. That’s a whopping 20-percentage-point jump in just two years.

Enter U.S. Vice President JD Vance.  Less than 24 hours after Republicans suffered a devastating midterm defeat this week, he took to 𝕏 with a stunning assessment of what went wrong.

Vance blamed the war with Iran and pointed to polling of former Trump voters who had abandoned the Republican Party. According to Vance, those voters identified four things that could bring them back: ending the war, addressing inflation, putting America First and, perhaps most alarmingly for Israel, “Change our relationship to Israel.”
