    Of course the Republicans don't want the horrible shit they want to pass to effect the midterms.

      And they don’t want to let a vote go to the floor about impeaching hegseth, because they would have to essentially vote up or down on the Iran war, and it’s very unpopular even in their core voting groups. That’s exactly why they went to recess early.
