"the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress" Not impeaching him for this, encourages him to keep doing it. Congress must not allow him to be above the law.

I agree! Keep the idea of impeachment, the many many reasons for impeachment, and republicans’ obstruction of impeachment in the news every day. Make each article short and easy to understand. Add new articles to the pile every week. Have pundits analyze the statistics of the pile. Be relentless.

People in elite positions have leaned on Learned Hand’s “when liberty dies in the hearts of the people no constitution, no court, no law can help” quote these last years, but ordinary people are upholding liberty better than most of our institutions.

Fun fact: it takes fewer votes to impeach and remove the president than to override a veto.

Vizier Impeachment is real, y’all.

First of all: thank you. This is necessary and important and good. Second: who tf is not signing on to this because I would like to have a little conversation.

“Democracies do not collapse in one dramatic moment. They erode when institutions refuse to act.” Elizabeth Lee (AZ-05) discusses her commitment to impeachment and constitutional accountability. Her message: It's not about party. It's about the oath. #TeamCourage

"Democrats have campaigned for two years on the claim that this is an emergency. If they win, they should act like it."

So why didn't @adamsmith.house.gov invoke Rule IX and force a vote on impeaching Trump 3 months ago? or 6 months ago? or ever? This is his second video calling for Trump's impeachment, but HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES are literally the only people on earth who can make it happen. DO IT, congressman.

Even with both party establishments arguing vociferously against impeachment, the people of the U.S.A. have been very much in favor of trying to get rid of the corrupt idiot for a long time. Common sense prevails over ivory tower nonsense.

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Muddling through is not good enough. It's kicking the can down the road for the next would-be autocrat to try again and try harder. It can be repudiated as a fundamental discontinuity in legitimacy and its perpetrators punished accordingly or else the democratic death spiral doesn't stop with him.

This administration’s lack of care for the rights of citizens is no accident. Trump’s official position is that citizenship is not a right, but a state of grace.

This. Yes, we all know they’re never going to do it because “separation of parties, not powers” plus the GOP has become a cult of personality. But we must never let them, nor let the people, forget for an instant that they COULD end the madness. They actively choose not to do it.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

It also seems kind of bad that the Justices's book deals are interfering with their ability to hear cases. This isn't just one Justice being recused out; this is the entire Court lacking the quorum to hear the case at all.

The only way to end this war is to remove Donald Trump from office.

imagine if they'd been doing this for the last 11 months #ImpeachConvictRemove

The tell is that there is panic about stock — the capital supposedly locked away — and no panic about flow — or how incomes aren’t even remotely keeping up with costs and can’t sustain all the political instability. www.npr.org/2026/05/28/n...

Unless things have changed substantially, in many jurisdictions unpaid utility bills can be attached as liens on property taxes. People have homes sold from underneath them to settle relatively small debts—often w/o real notice. stateline.org/2019/03/04/w... www.nclc.org/wp-content/u...

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid want Diaspora Jews to elect a “non-voting observer” to the Israeli Knesset, just as Washington DC gets a non-voting observer in Congress. If this passes, Diaspora Jews should refuse to participate. I am not Israeli and their government does not represent me.

her colleagues are really gonna show their asses in the coming days.

It would be nice if elected Democrats start speaking up about the regime seeking to nullify the will of hundreds of thousands of voters in the city where masked armed agents did street executions in front of cameras

Denaturalizing U.S. citizens under Trump I was a fucking outrage. The practice should have been condemned. Giving it the weight of bipartisan support was a catastrophic error. www.asianlawcaucus.org/news-resourc...

let's go

A rogue executive going after the citizenship and thus eligibility of a duly elected member of Congress, an attempt to usurp the House's fundamental constitutional power to decide who its own members are, is dangerous in a way that exceeds even the possibility of bogus trumped up criminal charges.

Hundreds showed up tonight at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis for a rally to support Rep. Ilhan Omar after her DC home was searched by federal agents this morning. The Department of Justice says it was "part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation".

I keep on pointing out that President is acting with a specific animus towards women and Black Women, in particular, is to disrupt a consensual elite view that the way you establish your bona fides to have a “Sister Soulijah” moment: that is by rhetorically attacking Black Woman.

Trump does not accept Congress is the legitimately elected and constitutionally empowered legislative body in this country. He is waging a yearslong, escalating campaign of rebellion, violence, and state terrorism against its authority and will stop at nothing short of its total disempowerment.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

i feel like it is at least worth acknowledging that the Klobuchar statement is so, so much worse than the Jeffries-Clark-Aguilar one because it doesn't even acknowledge the raid as an unequivocally bad thing

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

We expect more than a few angry social media posts if the blue wave materializes. And that's gonna mean Jeffries, Schumer, and the rest of these spineless losers getting off their asses and doing their fucking jobs. Put their feet to the fire. This is the beginning of the work.
