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.

    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.
