Congress returns to Washington after weeks away and a stunning reversal of fortune for Republicans in last week’s midterm election.

Senate Republicans, in particular, are furious with President Trump, whom they blame for the loss of both chambers of Congress. And the to-do list for the GOP is potentially massive, including funding the government by Dec. 11, pulling together a reconciliation package to fund the Pentagon and other Trump priorities, as well as confirmations of several White House judicial nominees.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) followed through on his promise to bring articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, reading them aloud on the House floor shortly after 2 p.m. Hegseth earlier in the day said he wasn’t “worried” about the effort and announced he’d hold a press conference Tuesday morning on the matter.

Trump acknowledged on Sunday evening in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” that his immigration policy “ might be too tough ” and expressed interest in working across the aisle, following the GOP’s historic midterm defeat.

Trump on Monday was to meet with the prime minister of Qatar, among several policy meetings. Follow live below.
