US News Roundup – November 10, 2026

A week after the midterms, both parties are reshuffling their leadership while Congress returns for a busy lame-duck session. Here are today's major national stories.

House Republicans Pick Jim Jordan to Lead the Party

Jordan beats Scalise. House Republicans voted 106 to 73 on Tuesday to make Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio their leader in the next Congress, choosing him over current Majority Leader Steve Scalise after losing more than 40 seats in last week's midterms. Speaker Mike Johnson is stepping down from leadership. Tom Emmer stays on as whip, Lisa McClain as conference chair, and Rep. Brian Jack of Georgia will run the NRCC.

Massie Files Impeachment Articles Against Hegseth

A Republican-led impeachment push. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday. They accuse him of violating the War Powers Resolution by continuing strikes on Iran after Congress ordered a halt, waging war on Yemen without authorization, and overseeing deadly strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. A House vote is expected Wednesday. President Trump said he would stand by Hegseth.

Pressure Mounts on Schumer

Senate Democrats eye new leadership. Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland signaled he is open to running for Senate majority leader when the new Congress convenes in January. A growing number of Democrats, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, won't commit to backing Chuck Schumer. The Machinists union also called for "a new generation" to lead Senate Democrats.

Supreme Court Lets Big Bend Border Wall Resume

Injunction lifted. The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to resume building a border wall in Big Bend National Park and along more than 500 miles of the Rio Grande in Texas. The ruling lifts a lower court's October injunction while an environmental lawsuit proceeds. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter.

Senate Advances Sweeping Permitting Bill

Faster approvals for energy and data centers. The Senate voted 73 to 25 to take up a major permitting-reform bill meant to speed construction of energy projects, pipelines and large data centers. Nearly every Republican and 22 Democrats voted yes. Environmental groups and some tribal leaders oppose it.

Iran Tensions: U.S. Tankers Leave a Second U.K. Base

Another pullback. The Wall Street Journal reports the Pentagon moved refueling tankers out of RAF Mildenhall in Britain over an alleged Iranian threat, a month after B-1 bombers left RAF Fairford. Iran says more ships are burning near the Strait of Hormuz. After talking with Qatar's prime minister, Trump said there was "positive momentum" toward a deal.
