Impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host with no prior government or military leadership experience, has served as Secretary of Defense since 2025 — and his tenure has been defined by scandal, recklessness, and alleged abuses of power. Most notably, Hegseth compromised national security during the "Signalgate" incident, in which classified military information was leaked through an unsecured messaging channel. His conduct has raised serious alarms among military experts, watchdog organizations, and members of Congress on both sides of the aisle.
Since rebranding himself as the "Secretary of War," Hegseth has taken a series of actions now under investigation as potential war crimes under both domestic and international law. These include reportedly ordering the killing of survivors from an allegedly illegal strike on a Venezuelan vessel, gutting Pentagon oversight offices to stall independent watchdog investigations, and threatening journalists who reported information not pre-approved by the Pentagon. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has received over 200 complaints from across more than 40 military units regarding officials using extremist religious rhetoric — which critics link directly to Hegseth's influence — to justify ongoing military operations.
Beyond the battlefield, Hegseth has used his position to reshape the culture and ideology of the U.S. military. He dissolved the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services, a long-standing body that supported servicewomen, and has moved to reduce accountability for sexual misconduct and war crimes within the ranks. His speeches to military officials have been described as wildly political, promoting what critics characterize as Christian Nationalist ideology within the armed forces.
The Secretary of Defense holds one of the most consequential positions in the U.S. government. When that office is occupied by someone who allegedly encourages lawlessness, suppresses oversight, and prioritizes ideology over the safety of troops and civilians, Congress must act. Call your representatives today and demand the immediate impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
