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.

It seems a little silly to me that they are talking about impeaching her, but not also Trump. Like who do they think she will be replaced with? My bet is someone worse. If Trump didn't want what ICE is doing they wouldn't be doing it.

Third time's the charm!

That's simply because impeaching trump is a lot harder. They are in fact talking about it too tho

It's all performance.

If the Democrats didn't want ICE and domestic chaos that will pave the way for more corporate involvement in all our lives, it wouldn't have happened.

We have one party with two narrative faces. They all have the same donors, they all serve the same masters. The rest is just WWE theatrics.

"if Democrats didn't want ICE and domestic chaos it wouldn't have happened"

This is absolute bullshit. When democrats controlled the white house and Senate this didn't happen. The parties are not the same and the constant refrain that they are is a malicious lie. The only beneficiaries of this kind of both sides FUD are the nazis.

There were more deportations under Dems, the difference between the parties is how they present themselves and what methods they go about plunging the nation into neo-liberalism. I implore you not to be naive about this very, very well-established system for manipulating the attitudes and feelings of a half billion people.

I am not saying don't empower Democrats, the DNC is just a container, we vote out the previous contents of that container and put new contents in. It has worked before and we need to do it again.

Unless you actually, truly, in your heart believe that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and their contemporaries are looking out for you. If you do, I can't help you, but I'm sure they will hear your support when you're in the camps.

Did I say anything good about Chuck schumer or Jeffries?

I think I said Schumer was a corporate shill that needs to be primaried. They are both genocide enablers and should be run out of Congress.
