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.

    The issue is, I don’t think it’s her so much as Stephen Miller. Even so, there is no shortage of individuals willing to take her role.

    Yes, do it. Congress desperately needs to reclaim some of its power. But don’t expect her to be the last.

      don’t think it’s her so much as Stephen Miller.

      Noem was an outspoken fascist from her days as governor. It’s how she got the job.

      Might as well debate whether Himmler or Goering hated Jews more.
