Rep. Al Green: "It is better to stand alone than not stand at all." 🔥 Meanwhile, Rep. Ted Lieu is reportedly eyeing a caucus leadership spot and sitting out impeachment, hoping to pass bills Trump will sign. We need reps with courage, not reps protecting their careers.

The only reason to investigate is to find evidence of wrongdoing. but there are hundreds of smoking guns lying all around for everyone to see. Cancel your stupid investigations. We demand action. Now. Stop the crime spree by impeaching and removing the criminals from power. #NoMoreExcuses

Not just impeachable. Impeachment, both pres. and agency heads, is the only option. It's impeachment or nothing. Courts won't stop it. Other tools are impotent. Put them on trial the only way you can. Even if you can't get 2/3, use process as punishment. Make it miserable and costly. It can be done.

That's true, but certain symptoms can be fatal, right? If a patient's hemorrhaging, you need to stop the hemorrhage before you can treat the underlying condition, right? So are you gonna address the "worst symptom," stop our body politic from bleeding out, by pushing for impeachment?

No, and that's why I've often called the Trump v. US "ruling" a criminal act in furtherance of a coup, and said that the SCOTUS 6 as well as Trump need to be removed and imprisoned. I don't think it's tenable for Official Politics Knowers to pretend otherwise

Everything described here is massively criminal and nothing is framed as such. In the hands of the NYT's Anatoly Kurmanaev, Tyler Pager, and Rebecca R. Ruiz, the invasion and pillage of a sovereign country becomes "a crystallization of Mr. Trump’s long-held views." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/w...

Not only is waving away impeachment/investigations for Trump's crimes the wrong thing morally and structurally, it is also telling people their opinion doesn't matter. The public hates Trump and is about to elect a bunch of Dems, and Dems are responding, "we aren't going to do anything with this."

Trump's net approval is -22.4%. He's twice as unpopular as he was at this point in his first term, making him the least popular president at this stage in the history of presidential polling. What more would it take for Dems and liberal institutions to stop being accomodationists?

It's straight up appeasement. It's "Don't do anything that might upset the abuser, and we have a chance of getting a tin of beans for lunch." In practice it's letting him murder, pillage, and shred the Constitution with zero consequences.

There's no constitutional basis for the premise that one legislator, backed by a slim majority, can effectively deprive the whole US of a legislature, for no other reason than corrupt self-protection. This is just another form of coup, enabled by everyone who's legitimized the Trump "presidency."

"Democrats actually hold lawful executive power right now" still sounds a little farcical even to many Trump haters. Even many who call Trump illegitimate won't quite say *that*. The problem is that Trump's regime is so obviously a constitutional farce that you really do have to choose.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.
