Obligation. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach. Constitutional Obligation.
It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

Remind me: Did Brett Kavanaugh include having your wedding band cut in pieces among the minor inconveniences of being arrested by ICE as a US citizen?
“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.”
Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

It is fundamental that spending choices reflect the administration's priorities. The trump administration chooses to inflict misery rather than alleviate it.
One way to think of the Trump Admin is as having SHIFTED the $$ we used to spend on curing cancer (and providing care to Veterans and protecting nature and etc) to snatching brown people off the streets.
Amid NIH funding delays, reversals and uncertainty, a scientist at Harvard who studies breast cancer has lost one-third of her lab employees and wonders if she can continue her research experiments. n.pr/4a4N3zD

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

All the renewable energy projects Trump cancelled would be be bringing energy prices down over the next few years, but instead we'll all pay more to keep polluting the planet. And who will benefit? Evil forces like Exxon-Mobile, Russia and the Saudis.
Suozzi: Prices are up. Why? Because of the tariffs. Prices are going up in health insurance because of the cancellation of the premium tax credits. Prices are going up in energy because there’s new demand for energy at the same time they cut supply.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Are the people of the USA eager to go to war in Venezuela? Are we fired up to spend hundreds of billions of our tax dollars in *this* economy to invade Venezuela? Are we excited to throw our youth into torrents of bullets in Venezuela? For WHAT?!!!!!!
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
