Rep. Shri Thanedar Files Articles of Impeachment Against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Over Controversial Comments and Orders.
U.S. Representative Shri Thanedar has filed articles of impeachment against U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, citing his involvement in issuing orders that put lives at risk and mishandling classified information. The move comes after Hegseth allegedly directed the killing of everyone on a Venezuelan drug smuggling boat in September and discussed potential attacks on Yemen in a group chat in March.
Thanedar described Hegseth as "uniquely unqualified" to serve as Secretary of Defense, stating that his actions put American servicemembers and their families in danger every day. He also accused Hegseth of violating the Defense Department's Law of War Manual by giving direct, unlawful orders on civilian boats, resulting in potential loss of life.
Moreover, Thanedar alleged that Hegseth mishandled classified information by leaking sensitive operations details, including target systems and attack times, through a Signal chat. This, according to Thanedar, put American lives at risk and made it clear that Hegseth cannot be trusted with the nation's defense secrets.
Thaneder announced the articles of impeachment during a rally in Washington D.C. last Thursday. The move is seen as an attempt to hold Hegseth accountable for his actions and ensure that he no longer poses a threat to American lives.
This is not the first time Thanedar has taken aim at a Trump administration official. In April, he filed seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, accusing him of corruption, freedom of speech violations, obstruction of justice, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.

OMG, can you even believe this?! So Pete Hegseth is being sued by Shri Thanedar for all these crazy stuff he's done! Like, allegedly ordering the killing of a whole bunch of people on a boat? That's insane! And sharing classified info like it's no big deal? 
I mean, what's next? Having a game night with top-secret intel? 
what if one of those orders ends up costing americans a life? that's not leadership, that's reckless. Thanedar for the win 
at least someone's holding him accountable 
can't let people in power get away with this kinda stuff
I mean, the dude allegedly gave orders to kill people on a boat in Venezuela?! That's some crazy stuff right there 
And now he's accused of leaking classified info and putting American lives at risk 
The fact that Hegseth is still serving as SecDef is just wild to me 
Anyway, this whole thing is giving me major "House of Cards"-vibes 
Rep Thanedar's actions are definitely a bold move, but I'm all for accountability 
i just can't believe someone in such a powerful position would order the killing of innocent ppl on a boat 
i guess u can say Pete Hegseth has made it clear he's not qualified for his job 
This just smells like more of the same reckless behavior that got us into so many problems in the first place. 
! So like, Pete Hegseth is being sued by Rep. Shri Thanedar for allegedly ordering the killing of people on a boat... what?! 
That's like something straight out of a movie, you know? And to make matters worse, he's accused of spilling classified info all over the place 
! I mean, how could someone so carelessly put lives at risk? 
It's crazy that Rep. Thanedar is trying to hold him accountable, and I'm kinda rooting for him 
. Can't believe this happened under Trump admin... what else have we gotten ourselves into?! 
how can someone be handling classified info like that? it's just unacceptable! 
Rep Thanedar r a total boss for taking on this task & I hope he sees justice done! 
. Thanedar seems to be saying that Hegseth is uniquely unqualified for the job, and I gotta agree with him 
. How could someone so "uniquely unqualified" hold such an important position? And what's up with all these shady dealings and leaks? 
I'm not saying Hegseth's guilty or anything (yet), but this whole thing reeks of cover-up. Can't wait to see how this plays out! 
I feel bad for the soldiers and their families, they deserve better leaders. Shri Thanedar is right, Hegseth doesn't seem to know what he's doing as SecDef. it's not just about being "uniquely unqualified" though, it's about putting lives at risk every day 
hope he gets held accountable for his actions.
Like, are we just making one bad situation after another? And what about the whistleblower, did they really have to take a risk by coming forward with that Signal chat thingy? 
This doesn't sit right with me...
. I don't get how you're supposed to protect the nation when you can't even keep your own secrets safe 
. This whole thing is just crazy... what's next? 
maybe thaneder just needs 2 chill out & talk 2 him 1 on 1 
can't let people just get away with putting our service members' lives in danger
