House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the New York Democrat who is poised to become the next Speaker of the House, says his party will push to end the war in Iran and hold Trump administration officials accountable after its midterm victories. But how far Democrats will go remains unclear.
In a live interview with 'Morning Edition' on Friday, Jeffries called the conflict a "war of choice" that "has skyrocketed gas prices, diesel prices and fertilizer prices," raising the cost of everyday goods.
He said Democrats "shouldn't have to wait" for the new Congress to act.
But with majorities in both chambers, Jeffries said Democrats could pass a war powers resolution to try and force President Trump to end the war. If passed, it would present President Trump with the choice to either sign or veto it. Overriding a veto would require two-thirds majorities in both chambers. As of now, Democrats are short of a veto-proof majority in both chambers.
Jeffries stopped short of supporting impeachment proceedings against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky has threatened to force a House vote on eight articles of impeachment unless Hegseth resigns.
Asked directly whether Hegseth should be impeached, Jeffries said, "I don't want to get out ahead of the caucus."
"He's got to go," he added.
Jeffries said the House Judiciary and Oversight committees would investigate alleged wrongdoing by the Trump administration.
Asked about voters calling for new Democratic leadership, including the next House speaker, Jeffries said the decision rests with the House Democratic Caucus. He defended Democrats' record, saying they had "battled Trump on every issue up until this point and then just decisively defeated him a few days ago."

Nighthawks are found all over the United States, but there’s a good chance you’ve never seen one.
“It’s really rare to actually see them in the wild, except for when they’re migrating,” said Sheida Soleimani, founder of Congress of the Birds (@congress.of.the.birds), where two juvenile common nighthawks were recently rehabilitated and released.
The little birds are crepuscular aerial insectivores, meaning they’re mostly active at dawn and dusk and they eat insects while they’re in flight. They also have one of the longest migrations of any North American bird when they head back to South America in the late summer and early fall.
But these birds are struggling. According to the North American Breeding Bird Survey, “In the U.S., Common Nighthawk populations declined by over 1% per year between 1966 and 2019, for a cumulative decline of about 48%.”
“We suspect that there are multiple factors that are playing into common nighthawk decline, both within New England specifically and across their range in general,” said Lindsay Herlihy, New Hampshire Audubon (@nhaudubon) biologist and Coordinator of Project Nighthawk. “One thing that we are particularly concerned with is an overall decline in insect populations, and that’s affecting all species of aerial insectivores, not just common nighthawks. Another factor would be habitat loss.”
Both Soleimani and Herlily say that a good way to help these birds, as well as other aerial insectivores, is to be mindful of the kinds of pesticides you use at home, which may affect the insects common nighthawks eat.

A federal judge has blocked construction on President Trump’s proposed 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington, D.C. — right after a panel had told the administration it could proceed with the project.
The National Capital Planning Commission voted to approve the arch on Thursday night, after a marathon nine-hour meeting with testimony from over 100 concerned citizens. The Trump administration said it could begin construction that same day, despite an ongoing legal challenge by Vietnam War veterans and the governments of Virginia and D.C. They asked District Judge Tanya Chutkan to intervene. She did just shy of midnight, with an order blocking construction for 14 days.

Here’s what the election results mean for healthcare:
➡️ Democrats across the country made reforming the U.S. health system a major part of their message to voters, helping them win control of both the House and Senate.
➡️ Democrats have the chance to challenge President Donald Trump’s health agenda — and maybe even reverse some of it (even though the president still has the veto). They’ll be able to force top health officials to testify in hearings, and in the Senate they can block nominees for key administration posts.
➡️ Voters also weighed in on several health-related ballot measures this week.

The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree that was harvested in North Idaho last month is now making its way to Washington, D.C.
The 76-foot-tall Christmas Tree is encased in the back of a big semitruck, with the top made of wooden beams and glass so people can see the colorful lights and handmade ornaments covering the green spruce branches. The tree has more scheduled whistle-stops throughout Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and the Midwest before arriving at its final destination.

Speculation that President Trump might fire Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran is widespread.
Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has been pushing to impeach Hegseth since before the midterms, arguing Hegseth should be impeached for how he has conducted the war in Iran. In a five-minute video posted on social media Thursday, Hegseth says his efforts will fail and compares himself to Trump:
"A disgruntled, defeated congressman — along with all his Democrat allies — has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly — just like they tried against President Trump, twice. ... Didn't work against President Trump, and it won't work with me."

For Ukraine's Kherson region, a short ceasefire meant a momentary return to normal life.
The truce ended Sunday night. Russia and Ukraine agreed to it in order to help Oleshky, a town across the Dnipro River from Kherson. Russian troops occupied Oleshky in 2022 and mined the land around it. Food and medicine rarely got through. Over the weekend, hundreds of Oleshky residents were evacuated, eventually escorted into northern Ukraine on buses.

About 1 in 20 people in the U.S. have seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. It typically lasts about 40% of the year, according to the American Psychiatric Association.
If you have it, you may feel sluggish or depressed, oversleep, overeat, gain weight and be uninterested in doing things you previously enjoyed, says psychiatrist Dr. Norman Rosenthal (@doctornorm), who published the first research on SAD.
If this sounds like you, here are ways to help combat the syndrome.
Recognizing your symptoms and taking them seriously are critical, because SAD can be debilitating or worse, says Rosenthal.
