The power of the purse belongs to Congress.

The president doesn't get to make those decisions.

He is not a king.

It is so inexcusable on so many levels how unprepared Congress has been for this administration.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

We believe that even failed impeachment is a good thing because 1) It shows that members are taking their oaths seriously and 2) It puts his crimes, explicitly, into the Congressional record for everyone to see.

Trump hated those first two impeachments with the fire of a billion suns. He fears it.

Lots, of course. However, abolishing the Affordable Care Act is not required by the Constitution. Impeachment for impeachable acts is. Every member of Congress takes the same oath.

Senators can encourage Articles of Impeachment in the House, and the House often looks to the Senate for leadership on issues.

We would love to add Senator Warren to our tracker as being pro-impeachment and removal! It is the Constitutional remedy.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

So true. Most of them get a failing grade immediately on that one.

Citizens' Impeachment @citizensimpeachment.com · 13h

On 10/18, make your demand clear and actionable:

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

We don't have kings in America. The way to remove bad presidents is impeachment.

Message discipline. Message unity.

Thanks! We agree. There should be Articles introduced daily, if only for the sake of the Congressional record and posterity. Goodness knows there's no shortage of material.

The American people deserve to know the depth of his corruption, tyranny, and treason.

CI's proposed Article of Impeachment for treason is great. Skeptics are badly underestimating how powerful it would be for Dems to keep introducing such articles. They could be angry, funny, provocative! Even in "failure," it would be a way of seizing the narrative through quality political theater.

Keira Havens @highcountryrose.bsky.social joined Jessica Denson @jessicadenson07.bsky.social on Lights On last night.

"What we need to do is get message discipline. That the remedy for tyranny and treason is impeachment. Period. Full Stop. That’s all you need. And we can take it from there."

Even if Congress had authorized spending this money for this purpose, there's a limit. Congress is uniquely, on this specific kind of spending, restrained. Appropriations for "armies" expire after two years maximum, by constitutional mandate. Not on the navy, not for anything else. A standing army.

"The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military."

That he's directing the OMB to use R+D funds to pay the military, which Congress has not authorized, seems sketchy. Worth investigating.

The power of the purse belongs to Congress.

“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”
— Article I, section 9, clause 7

Hi rep @quigley.house.gov does this mean you will publicly support the impeachment articles from @citizensimpeachment.com I sent to your press director on Thursday?

Good question!

Maybe a better phrase is 'message unity.'

We just want to see as much impeachment messaging as possible on 10/18!

a man wearing headphones is sitting on a bed with the words just a real head scratcher to me below him

Alt: A man wearing gaming headphones is sitting in a black and red gaming chair and says, "Just a real head scratcher to me." Really, though, there's no confusion about why Trump pardoned the January 6th insurrectionists: they were his supporters acting on his behalf, and he wants to destroy democracy. It's not complicated.
