• Hegseth impeachment efforts: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will hold a rare press conference this morning after GOP Rep. Thomas Massie introduced articles of impeachment against him yesterday, in a move Hegseth has brushed off. A vote will have to happen by Wednesday. President Donald Trump has pledged to stand by Hegseth if he is impeached.
• Next GOP leader: Later today, Republicans are scheduled to hold votes for the next leader of their conference in the House and Senate. Reps. Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan are competing to be the GOP minority leader after Speaker Mike Johnson announced he would not seek the post.
