Support among House Democrats for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.
That’s an unprecedented level of support for an impeachment effort during President Trump’s second term, with lawmakers who have bristled at the topic in the past now warming to the idea.
Kelly is urging Republicans to get on board with her efforts — even as no GOP lawmaker has come close to expressing support for Noem’s impeachment.
“As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people’s civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows,” she said.
The issue is, I don’t think it’s her so much as Stephen Miller. Even so, there is no shortage of individuals willing to take her role.
Yes, do it. Congress desperately needs to reclaim some of its power. But don’t expect her to be the last.
If you sign up to be the mouthpiece you should expect to be one of the first people to get punched in the mouth.
Noem was an outspoken fascist from her days as governor. It’s how she got the job.
Might as well debate whether Himmler or Goering hated Jews more.
Fair. My point is ICE will continue as is whomever is charge of it, as long as Miller is there.
But a string of impeachments would prove Congress has some powers left.
Miller could be gone tomorrow and I guarantee there’s a line out the door of like-minded fascists eager to take his place. The entire Trump admin is crawling with these guys. State governments in places like Texas and Missouri and Florida and Utah are crawling with these guys. City governments are crawling with them.
Miller isn’t some kind of Svengali who has tricked the American bureaucracy into behaving this way. He’s as much a product of our fascist socio-economic system as Liz Cheney and Jim Justice and Rudy Giuliani.
I think its fair to say that so long as Republicans control the majority, they’ll be subservient to the Trump admin. But Dems throwing wrenches in the gears by holding up business with impeachment votes would have a two-fold effect of gumming up the horrible business of Congress and spotlighting particularly vile members of the Trump Admin.
Everything you say is true, but he seems to be closest to Trump atm.
What would be nice is an impeachment of Mike Johnson. That would send the Repubs in Congress into infighting disarray.
Honestly, I think we’re completely screwed already. That there’s no gold left in Fort Knox. That they’re compiling a list of everyone who’s voted liberal. And that once this data center crap tanks the country the stock market will toilet. But yes, some final gestures would be nice.
Mike Johnson holds the job precisely because he sucks at it. He’s a threat to nobody. He does what he’s told. He isn’t even good at taking bribes - estimated to be the poorest House Speaker in the last century. Republicans aren’t going to impeach him precisely because he’d be such a bitch to replace.
What’s more disturbing is a future House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, a man who is far more in touch with the K-Street lobbyists and J-Street warmongers. Just like in 2019, we’re going to see conservative Democrats rubber stamp the Trump neoconservative agenda. And that’s going to set the stage for a frightening 2028 election, when fascists start coming out of the woodwork in both major parties.
Jeffries is a limp dishrag of a politician. I’d still like to see Johnson out right now, because they’d have such difficulty replacing him.
The real work of the legislature has been outsourced to the private sector
