House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries told viewers on Sunday he is a “hard yes” to the impeachment resolution targeting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He said the secretary has abused his power. Jeffries, who is expected to become the next majority leader, voiced his support during an appearance on a Sunday news program.

Republican Representative French Hill said he wants to hear the debate before deciding whether impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is warranted or if another disciplinary step is more appropriate. His comment comes as fellow Republican Thomas Massie plans to force a House vote on the impeachment resolution.

President Trump claimed the United States has taken a “giant step back” in the recent elections and signaled he will push a harsher immigration approach while refusing concessions to the new Democratic majority in Congress. His hard‑line aide Stephen Miller will begin as White House chief of staff on Monday.

Here's Theo with business and the markets.
