Thomas Massie moved to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the Pentagon held its “SECWAR Monthly Christian Prayer & Worship Service.” Though Hegseth did not address the controversies swirling around his actions in the weeks leading up to midterm elections, he did take the time to praise a military rescue segment from Sunday’s “60 Minutes.”
