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.
Wait a moment. I’m not American so I don’t understand. In the house there are 213 democrats, so that means more than half of them is thinking that is perfectly fine and normal having someone like her? It doesn’t seem like “skyrocketing numbers” to me. I understand that an alternate headline is “majority of House Dems are against impeaching noem”
Not exactly.
For context, a bill only needs one sponsor. Most bills have about 2 or 3 cosponsors. Signing a bill as a cosponsor is not the same as voting, which hasn’t happened yet.
Skyrocketing / exploding numbers doesn’t imply a majority.
A number can grow significantly and still be a less than another number.
This sucks to say, it really does - but everything that Democrats say or do right now will not matter. There could be a collective effort of AOC, Bernie, and Ossoff all together with irrefutable video evidence of that horrible orange fuck raping children and it will fall flat.
I am very fucking tired of the “resistance” from the (how do I make air quotes in mark down?) “left”. I just spent all of my savings handing out plate carries (with the respective plates) to 40 POC at my local Must Ministry.
I’m admittedly a coward, but I’ll do whatever I can to help people.
I’m a white woman in Canton, GA. ICE is popping up here hardcore. I am saddened that I feel the need to stand in front of the huge Guatemalan population here.
I bought a GoPro and a helmet thing that lets me film there. Oh, and since GA is an open carry state - I have my Henry 45-70 ready to go.
exploding
Can’t be an actual explosion because then the Dems would actually be doing something useful.
Man, even when they are doing something y’all just shit on them.
Half of house dems have just started to do the bare minimum, let’s celebrate!
As long as impeachment effort remains divided along party lines, this is not a story worth publishing.
Yeah, it is. The straggling Democrats need to be primaried. Noem makes up undeniable lies in front of Congress every time she testifies.
Dems growing a spine is a story worth telling.
Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.
That’s still less than half the Dem caucus on a motion that should be a litmus test for Rules Based Intentional Order liberalism.
I’d say the most damning indictment of impeachment is that it’s not along party lines. 113 House Dems aren’t sponsoring a bill to remove the most corrupt bureaucrat to hold the DHS office.
Dems should be talking about DHS like Republicans talk about the IRS. Not whatever this is.
It is very disheartening that not a single R is supporting this. Or it would be if I had any heart left to dis.
Yes. Let’s not waste any time or money this only creates people hating the dem party even more
No excuse to be below 100%
Greed tho
Could be a strange form of nihilism where you are just looking to salt the earth after the ashes.
I now think Republicans welcome climate change to unlock shipping channels
The excuse that I’ve heard is that it’s the Democrats’ fault for making people throw away their vote.
None of this was necessary.
We tried to warn you that genocide was a losing issue.
You were so devoted to netanyahu that you didn’t care.
But she needed those millions in lobbyist bribes! Who cares if America falls to Trump when money was to be made.
Yes, thank goodness we saved Gaza by keeping those dems out of office.
Do you get that literally has nothing to do with what we are talking about here?
Neom wasn’t voted in. And your comment has nothing to do with the topic anyways.
Noem was selected by who was voted in. You see that, right? Having to impeach her is damage control from letting trump win. That’s on topic AF.
Yes yes
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.
If you sign up to be the mouthpiece you should expect to be one of the first people to get punched in the mouth.
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.
Impeach Trump before he starts a world war for crying out loud.
I believe you mis-spelled ‘depose’, or another more ‘effective’ word… ‘impeach’ has beem proven a synonym for ‘wag a stern finger at, accomplishing nothing’.
Midterms.
Things are going to get really really bad in like August through October. I hope everything goes off normally, but I think most people are expecting the worst we’ve seen so far. Trump and Co. has done too much illegal shit to not risk everything to stay out of prison.
What about them?
Get more the votes to do the things
I really hope so
Racism is a helluva drug. This just goes to show how much hate exists in the government.
The people have no soul anymore. They only represent their own selfish interests and exist to enrich themselves with their position of power.
And half of 435 is 218, which is more than twice 100.
It’s not a vote. I think it was like 7 people who co-sponsered Trump’s first impeachment, and it passed the house.
In the end it will never get through the senate, so it won’t matter though.
That is an embarrassingly low number.
