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.

Could be a strange form of nihilism where you are just looking to salt the earth after the ashes.

As long as impeachment effort remains divided along party lines, this is not a story worth publishing.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

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.

They have been on the verge of courage many times and have stated true to cowardliness.
Many voted to fund the current mess. They are responsible.

[-] humanamerican@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 months ago

It is very disheartening that not a single R is supporting this. Or it would be if I had any heart left to dis.

Impeach Trump before he starts a world war for crying out loud.

[-] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

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'.

[-] Zephorah@discuss.online 9 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

If you sign up to be the mouthpiece you should expect to be one of the first people to get punched in the mouth.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] one_step_behind@quokk.au 8 points 3 months ago

exploding

Can't be an actual explosion because then the Dems would actually be doing something useful.

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Man, even when they are doing something y'all just shit on them.

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.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Third time's the charm!

[-] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

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

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.

It will change nothing, but still should be done for our collective conscience and historic record that we didn’t want this

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 3 months ago

That is an embarrassingly low number.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Not only the Dog Murderer, the whole fucking lot needs to GTFO!

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

While I hope for the best, I have low expectations of our timeline.

[-] MuteDog@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Wait, they didn't all want to impeach her after like the first week?

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Only now? Lmao

But the miDtErMs bro

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The people have attention spans measured in microseconds. It's a sad fact that they have to time this shit for maximum impact. Assume if it's not in the news cycle it's been forgotten.

Yes, I am admonishing the vast, VAST majority of the other people who live in the same cursed country as me.

Shouldn't we want to impeach every Republican in any office ever for any reason? It's not like they've ever done anything that want literally being a terrorist.

Stop talking about it and fucking do it. People are dying in the streets every day.
