BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Punchbowl News reported on Wednesday that the chair of the US House Homeland Security Committee announced the committee is set to launch its inaugural impeachment hearing concerning Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on January 10.

"Our investigation made clear that this crisis finds its foundation in Secretary Mayorkas’ decision-making and refusal to enforce the laws passed by Congress, and that his failure to fulfill his oath of office demands accountability," said Committee Chair Mark Green in a statement to Punchbowl, referring to the ongoing US-Mexico border crisis.

Green emphasized that the committee's inquiry, which concluded in December, uncovered substantial evidence that justifies the impeachment of the DHS Secretary.

Mayorkas faces serious allegations, including the misappropriation of taxpayer funds and negligence in adhering to border security protocols.

These impeachment proceedings align with a surge in migrant arrivals at the southern US border. The month of December witnessed a record-high 302,000 migrant encounters, as reported by Fox News.

Shortly after the announcement on the impeachment proceedings was made, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre stated on Wednesday that President Joe Biden maintains "full confidence" in Mayorkas. Jean-Pierre deemed the attempts by House Republicans to impeach Mayorkas as groundless and regrettable during a press briefing.

"Absolutely, the president has confidence in the secretary," Jean-Pierre affirmed, adding that there is no time for such endeavors at present.
