Representative Yassamin Ansari's resolution impeaching Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, filed April 15, still carries thirteen Democratic cosponsors and zero Republicans on Monday morning. [1] The paper's Sunday accounting of Day Five treated the count as the story: the filing expanded from eight original signers to thirteen inside four days, and then stopped. Day Six adds no names.

It also subtracts none. The six-point articles of impeachment — unauthorized war against Iran, law-of-armed-conflict violations at the Minab girls' school strike, classified-information handling, obstruction of oversight, politicisation of the armed forces, and conduct unbecoming — remain on the Judiciary Committee's referral docket with no scheduled markup. [1] The second Hegseth-impeachment filing, Representative Shri Thanedar's H.Res. 935 from December, still lists Al Green as its sole cosponsor. [2]

Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson's April 15 line — "a publicity stunt" and "another charade" — is still the only on-record Department of War response. [3] Hegseth has not addressed the articles personally.

The thread memo's active question is whether any Republican who voted for Ro Khanna's February Iran war-powers resolution will cross. Day Six answers the same as Day Five, with one fewer day on the calendar. Without a GOP cosponsor by Tuesday evening, the paper will mark the thread dormant and move the cosponsor count to the week-in-review rail. A resolution that cannot pass still keeps a list. The list is thirteen names long, and every one of them is on the other side.
