[Republican] Party leaders had also been concerned that low attendance by their members could doom their chances of saving Mr. Hegseth. In the end, though, more Democrats than Republicans missed the vote.
The 11 Democrats who did not vote were Representatives Julia Brownley, Lou Correa and Nancy Pelosi, all of California; Laura Gillen of New York; Steven Horsford of Nevada; Jonathan L. Jackson of Illinois; Brittany Pettersen of Colorado; Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico; Haley Stevens of Michigan; Marilyn Strickland of Washington; and Frederica Wilson of Florida.
The Republicans who did not record a position were Representatives Monica De La Cruz of Texas; Neal Dunn of Florida; Russell Fry of South Carolina; Julia Letlow of Louisiana; Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden, both of Wisconsin; and Rudy Yakym III of Indiana."
Thanks to the Democrats who participated — albeit passively — in saving us from the misguided impeachment ordeal. You won the big election. Do something constructive with it. Something sane.

"Something sane." That's pretty funny for so early in the morning. The D's are hell-bent on destruction.
Yeah, the odds against "something sane" seem pretty high at the moment. I'm hoping against hope for "something not foolishly destructive to the economy and society as a whole".
Massie is an anti-semite. nothing more.
“You won the big election. Do something constructive with it. Something sane.”
@Athluse, expecting sanity from Democrsts? You must be insane.
Trump lives rent-free in the heads of the TDS-addled 24/7 but it's the rest of us that have a problem. Riiiiigggghhtt.
I can understand why a lot of people have a giant hard-on for Pete Hegseth. He's extremely provocative and at times supercilious. Also he's not the one deciding when or when not to pull the trigger using the great powers of the military forces of the United States of America. That's the responsibility of Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump.
It's quite obvious that once the new Congress is sworn in, they will absolutely impeach him.
