He shouldn't be taking up the time of Congress or the Senate or anything that he's doing.

There's something wrong with him."Following Massie's articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth, the House of Representatives is expected to hold a vote in two days to decide whether the Defense Secretary should face impeachment.For the latest scoops on your favorite TV shows and movies, follow SoapCentral.
