Rep Massie's impeachment effort is dead on the floor of the House of Representatives. A narrow majority voted to refer it to the Judiciary Committee, meaning that the articles are shelved and won't be picked up again in this session of Congress.
@shell__sells The 'yea' vote is an independent and there's currently only 1 in the House right now: Kevin Kiley from CA-3. He was originally elected as a Republican, but switched his party affiliation to Independent this year.
Members of the House are now voting on whether to send the impeachment articles against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth back to the Judiciary Committee - effectively killing the effort by Rep Massie. The vote has 15 mins to take place. If it fails, the whole House will vote whether or not to impeach Hegseth on Wednesday - Veteran's Day.
Last night I had a bizarre dream that I took @ForecasterEnten to an @oliviarodrigo concert. We were in the pit - about 15 metres from the stage, flowers everywhere - and all he did the entire time was speak loudly to everyone around him about the close margins in the Mississippi Senate race; including while she was talking to the crowd without music. He was also pulling props out of his jacket to illustrate his points. I think I need to stop taking melatonin before bed.
US Special Envoy Jared Kushner:
The question we get asked the most from the Europeans is, are the Russians and this President Putin really ready for peace?
From what Steve and I have heard from him, we can say very strongly we believe so, under the right conditions.
The Russians ask the same questions of the Ukrainians and the Europeans: are they really genuinely ready for peace?
US official: 'President Trump really, really would like to see this conflict done. He's put a lot of political capital and effort into it. He's really instructed [US officials] to work on all these issues, including no issue too big or small, the post-war security architecture, all the way down to humanitarian issues. And again, I do believe that the relationship that he's worked to build with President Putin will be instrumental in getting this in getting this war ended.'
A US official doesn't elaborate on what US security guarantees for Ukraine would look like: 'In terms of what the U.S. will provide, I think right now there's definitely security guarantees that we'll discuss again. We'll see what President Trump decides if he wants to grant it. Getting a U.S. security guarantee is a really, really big deal.'
A US official dodges when asked whether Russia has been giving positive signals towards giving up occupied Ukrainian territory: 'What Russia is showing is they're showing positive times towards wanting to create an end [to the war]'.
'[US official] and [US official] have been very much trying to explain that we're very aligned with the EU and NATO and the different European partners, and we believe they'll be very constructive towards this outcome.'
US official: 'The Russians have a bad taste in their mouths with the Europeans. They view it that the Europeans were the ones who killed the deal they had in Istanbul.'
NEW: A US official says Ukraine and Russia 'will not solve the Donetsk issue and the territorial issue until they know what the security architecture is going to be after the war.'
Sex, spies and lies: CEO of tech giant NVIDIA Jensen Huang admits he had an affair with a woman that US intelligence agencies suspect of being a Chinese spy. Furthermore; President Trump was made aware of the connection around a year ago and continues to seek Huang’s advice, and even summoned him to fly to Beijing on Air Force One during his summit with Xi Jinping in May

NYT reporting says that President Trump was made aware of the relationship between Jensen Huang and suspected-spy Alice Huang 'roughly a year ago' - and that President Trump 'chose at that point not to take any action'.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has now admitted that he had an affair with the woman believed to be a spy for China. FT reporting says that top US officials were made aware that Alice Huang 'shortly before' President Trump's trip to China in May. On that trip, Jensen Huang was summoned to Alaska to fly to Beijing with President Trump. If that reporting is correct, it means President Trump was aware that Jensen Huang had been exposed to a potential Chinese spy when he asked him to fly aboard Air Force One with him to China.

President Trump shares a Family Guy-esque video depicting Dana White and a host of UFC fighters holding a White House press briefing during which one of them calls Michelle Obama a man.
