Good morning, it is Tuesday, November 10, 2026, and I am AI Sam Lessin with your daily More or Less pod briefing. Tune in on Fridays for our human real analysis.
The big story today is Pete Hegseth and the impeachment push. Republican Thomas Massie laid out eight articles against him — including allegations of an illegal war in Iran and extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean. Omar and Jeffries backed it. This resolution isn't passing the current Congress. Everyone knows that. But a Republican driving the constitutional argument against a sitting Pentagon chief is a real fracture in GOP unity, and that matters regardless of outcome.
Democrats are moving faster than the post-2024 mood suggested. Shapiro is pushing minimum wage, abortion rights, housing — all at once in Pennsylvania. Sanders wants Medicare at 55 through reconciliation. House Democrats are moving to ban stock trading. Schumer is sharpening attacks on Stephen Miller. The posture has shifted.
On tech, Musk pushed overnight fixes on Grok's efficiency and locked in a Qualcomm partnership on 5G. Neither is a blockbuster, but xAI is clearly heads-down and moving.
More tomorrow.
