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.

    Every democrat in congress could sign on as a co-sponsor and it still wouldn’t make it through a single vote. You understand that, right?

      Oh well I guess they shouldn’t do anything and just let the fascists run concentration camps then.

        Tell me what the difference is between “doing nothing” and “doing something guaranteed to be ineffectual”. There are actual things happening constantly that are slowing down the administration and making a difference. This isn’t one of them.
