The built-in post-midterm assumption in Washington has been, and continues to be, that Democrats will try to make Donald Trump – already the leader in the clubhouse – the first president to be thrice impeached. That’s probably a good bet, though as I noted in this week’s District Club, I think they’ll go after a cabinet secretary or two as well. Could be DOGE, could be ICE, could be measles – imagine the scene of RFK Jr. surrounded by a sea of fiery-eyed MAHA moms in the committee room. The party of law, order, and science can find a way to impeach anyone, and will, if only for the sideshow that plays to their base.

Yet since none of these picks are going to get shoved out the door, what is it really about? The real aim of presidential impeachment for the Democrats at this point involves no realistic plan for removal from office, and following an election cycle they claim is all about jobs and affordability, a Quixotic impeachment quest would be a marked break from why voters gave the Speaker’s gavel to Hakeem Jeffries (or a W.A.R. equivalent Speaker To Be Named Later). The abortive Russiagate/Ukraine phone call impeachment wasn’t a great lead-up to the 2020 election for Democrats, and it’s unlikely to be any better headed into 2028. So what’s really going on?
Washington just tipped its hand this week, and the call came from inside the house – or, well, the Senate. Freshman Republican John Curtis of Utah, who has slid happily into an even squishier-than-Mitt Romney role early on, sent a <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/09/22/congress/curtis-has-questions-01086970">letter</a> to Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley demanding that Donald Trump Jr. be subpoenaed by the committee in connection with a ProPublica <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/donald-trump-jr-wedding-bankrolled-russian-oligarch-umar-kremlev-putin">report</a> laying out a financial relationship with a Russian oligarch. Curtis claims he wants to know more about it, writing in part:
<blockquote>
[Q]uestions have arisen about the relationships of President Trump&#8217;s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., with foreign business figures and the acceptance of significant gifts. These include a lavish wedding afterparty, on a private island, provided by Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, who reportedly traveled to China as part of a delegation accompanying Vladimir Putin shortly before giving the gift. These concerns are compounded by Donald Trump Jr.’s active promotion of family-backed cryptocurrency ventures, his continued pursuit of international real estate deals involving direct meetings with foreign heads of state, and his reported investments in defense contracting. This pattern extends to his significant financial and advisory ties to prediction-market platforms that depend on favorable federal regulatory decisions being considered by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
</blockquote>
Presumably to offset the allegation that he’s just targeting the president’s son, Curtis also called for subpoenaing Hunter Biden for his own history of wheeling and dealing (now that’s good television, by committee standards). None of this is likely to happen, but it’s important that Curtis is indicating his willingness to go along with Democrat efforts to target the Trump family so early – he’s not waiting for the votes to be counted in November. And that indicates where things are headed.
What voters should expect to see after this election isn’t movement on affordability, on housing, on jobs. Maybe they’ll get some desperate flailing at health care costs, because those scare Republicans too. What they should expect to see is Democrats building their case for another go-round of their favorite tactic: sustained, over-the-top, and well-funded lawfare, targeted at Trump associates and the Trump family, where the process is the punishment. The job of Hill Democrats will be to shake loose everything they can through witness depositions and wildly broad subpoenas, any way they can and with the help of the still very real deep state.
Everyone’s going to be on the target list – from the crypto bros to the foreign investment funds to the various slimy (but in a pretty normal swampy kind of way) hangers-on. But the biggest targets will be on Trump’s family and anyone who’s become a business partner since his 2024 victory – including the tech industry, which has moved in his direction.
Democrats aren’t going to be about changing the country, not after this midterm. They’ll be all about getting every scalp they can. And if they can’t get the president himself, they’ll settle for ruining the lives and businesses of the people he loves, and who love and work with him. It’s not about the future. It’s about revenge. If you vote Democrat in November, that’s what you’re voting for – whether you know it or not.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is taking one of his most aggressive shots at the Trump administration since his failed reelection bid, filing eight articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Tuesday and forcing House Republicans to vote on whether to remove the Pentagon chief.
Massie introduced the privileged resolution on the House floor, accusing Hegseth of committing “high crimes and misdemeanors” through his handling of the war in Iran, military operations in Yemen and the Caribbean, the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, and his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hegseth-moves-to-strip-mark-kelly-of-rank-and-pay-over-seditious-military-video">treatment of Sen. Mark Kelly</a> (D-AZ).
Because Massie filed the resolution as privileged, the House must take it up within two legislative days. Republicans control the chamber, meaning GOP leaders could move to table the resolution rather than advance it toward an impeachment trial. The impeachment push represents a remarkable escalation in the long-running feud between Massie and the Trump administration, a conflict that has already cost Massie his congressional seat in an embarrassing primary rout.
Massie <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-machine-topples-thomas-massie">lost the Republican primary for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District</a> in May to Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL backed by President Donald Trump. Hegseth personally traveled to Kentucky the day before the primary to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-pete-hegseth-recreates-trump-pep-talk-word-for-word">campaign for Gallrein</a>, an unusual intervention by a sitting Pentagon chief.
Gallrein defeated Massie 55% to 45%, according to the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s <a href="https://vrsws.sos.ky.gov/liveresults?autorefresh=true&amp;id=2">report</a> on the final vote. Massie is now serving out the remainder of his congressional term. Massie has spent much of the year flailing at the administration; now, his impeachment resolution makes his dispute over the handling of the Iran conflict the centerpiece of its first three articles.
The first article of impeachment alleges that Hegseth initiated the Iran war without a declaration of war, statutory authorization, an attack on the United States, or an imminent threat. The second accuses him of defying congressional directives to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran, while the third alleges that Hegseth continued hostilities after the expiration of the War Powers Resolution’s statutory time limits. Massie’s remaining articles broaden the case considerably. One accuses Hegseth of failing to minimize civilian casualties, and another alleges “extrajudicial killing” in connection with U.S. strikes against suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.
The sixth accuses Hegseth of retaliating against Kelly over a video in which Kelly and other lawmakers told members of the military they had an obligation to refuse illegal orders. Massie characterizes Hegseth’s response as an unconstitutional effort to suppress protected speech.
The seventh article targets Hegseth’s involvement in the January operation that led to Maduro&#8217;s capture and extradition. Massie alleges that the operation lacked constitutional or legal authority. 
The eighth focuses on the administration’s military campaign in Yemen, accusing Hegseth of initiating Operation Rough Rider without congressional authorization or an imminent threat to the United States and of violating war-powers reporting requirements.
“These constitutional violations extend beyond the illegal war in Iran,” Massie said after reading the resolution. He accused Hegseth of “abusing the power of his office” and said Congress must not “turn a blind eye” to what he characterized as unconstitutional and illegal actions. Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson rejected that characterization, telling <a href="https://www.npr.org/2026/09/15/g-s1-143407/massie-impeach-hegseth-iran">NPR</a> that Hegseth has been a “transformative leader” and that &#8220;the entire department is unified behind&#8221; Hegseth&#8217;s leadership.
Massie’s effort is not the first attempt to impeach Hegseth this year; House Democrats <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/04/15/iran-war-pete-hegseth-congress-impeachment-articles-democrats-reflecting-search-interest-order">introduced six articles</a> against the secretary in April, including allegations related to the Iran war and other conduct.

Congressional Democrats called for impeachment, invoking the 25th Amendment, and accused President Donald Trump of threatening genocide before and after the White House agreed to a two-week ceasefire with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The deal is contingent on the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a move that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/live-updates-iranian-protests-intensify-as-citizens-demand-end-to-ayatollah-rule?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Daily+Wire&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=LIVE+UPDATES%3A+Trump+Says+Peace+Is+Within+Reach+As+U.S.+Vows+Hands-On+Role+In+Strait+Of+Hormuz">pushed down oil prices</a> and lifted stock futures early Wednesday.
&#8220;This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE,&#8221; <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116365796713313030">Trump posted on Truth Social.</a> &#8220;The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.&#8221;
Announced hours before his 8 p.m. Tuesday deadline, the ceasefire followed a morning threat that &#8220;a whole civilization will die&#8221; without an agreement, drawing outrage from Democrats who questioned the president&#8217;s mental fitness and urged the U.S. military to ignore unlawful orders.
&#8220;This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted,&#8221; Congresswoman Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) said.
&#8220;To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.

News of the ceasefire &#8220;changes nothing,&#8221; AOC later said, arguing the president launched a war without congressional authorization and is leveraging the threat of genocide.
&#8220;Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink,&#8221; she said.
Rep. Melania Stansbury (D-NM) urged administration officials to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would allow the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unfit to serve.
&#8220;Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment,&#8221; Stansbury wrote.

NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo called on Democrats to resist the temptation to impeach President Donald Trump if they win control of either the House or the Senate in the fast-approaching 2026 midterm elections.
Cuomo addressed the issue during Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The Chris Cuomo Project,&#8221; saying that however likely it seemed that Democrats might come out ahead, it would be in the country&#8217;s best interest for them to show a little restraint.

&#8220;Where is he in terms of how he should be feeling about the midterms?&#8221; Cuomo asked in reference to the president — and then pantomimed something apparently intending to show nerves or panic.
&#8220;Did you hear what Ted Cruz said to him reportedly, allegedly?&#8221; Cuomo continued. &#8220;‘You’re going to lose House seats and Senate seats and they’re going to impeach you every day.’ Now, I really hope that last part doesn’t happen. Why? You don’t have the votes to remove him.”
&#8220;It is a political process — impeachment. Okay? Removal is a straight up and down vote, you do not have — not up and down, it&#8217;s not 50 plus one,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You do not have the votes you need to remove him. It will not happen. So, why put us through it? And any high-minded idea you give us, I just point you to the last two and see if that helped the country in any way.&#8221;
Cuomo is not the only one talking about impeachment as Democrats ramp up the fight for congressional control.
Rep. Al Green (D-TX) has already filed articles of impeachment, as has Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) — and The Hill ran an <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/5726969-trump-impeachment-restore-constitutional-faith/">opinion piece</a> on Monday calling not only for impeachment, but for Democrats to pack the Supreme Court as well.
Former House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nancy-pelosi-says-democrats-shouldnt-try-to-impeach-trump-again">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) walked a finer line on the issue during a recent interview, cautioning members of her party to make sure that they only proceeded on a possible impeachment if they had good reason to do so. Pelosi did not indicate what constituted a good reason.
&#8220;That’s not an incidental thing you say — ‘We’re going to [impeach].’ No, there has to be cause,” Pelosi said at the time. “There has to be reason.”

A lawmaker in Minnesota has filed articles of impeachment against embattled Democrat Gov. Tim Walz.
Walz has become a national focus in the wake of reports concerning a massive fraud scandal in his state, largely concerning Somali residents. A stunning press conference held by federal prosecutor Joseph Thompson last month confirmed that $9 billion – or potentially more – of taxpayer money could have been stolen during Walz’s tenure.
GOP state Rep. Mike Wiener announced on his Facebook page on Monday that he&#8217;s filed articles of impeachment against Walz  &#8220;I have officially filed Articles of Impeachment against Governor Tim Walz, initiating the impeachment process in the Minnesota House of Representatives,&#8221; he posted.
The articles accuse Walz of committing corrupt conduct and violating his oath of office.
The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=871987045448886&amp;set=pcb.871987308782193">four articles specifically allege</a> that Walz knowingly concealed widespread fraud in the state’s Department of Human Services, despite repeated warnings; interfered with lawful oversight and investigation into the fraud; prioritized political considerations above lawful administration; and failed to execute laws of the state, specifically laws concerning stewardship of public funds.
&#8220;Democrat control of our state has led to 9 billion dollars of fraud that we currently know about,&#8221; Wiener <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/tim-walz-articles-of-impeachment-11356274">told</a> Newsweek.  &#8220;Governor Walz said &#8216;the buck stops with him.&#8217; Since he refused to resign the next step is impeachment. Our taxpayers are demanding this, and if the Democrats don&#8217;t support the impeachment they are complicit with the fraud.&#8221;
The impeachment effort would need to pass the Minnesota House and Senate, where control is split. As noted by Newsweek, both parties have 67 seats each, and Wiener said he would need one Democrat in a committee to vote with him for it to go to the House.
As outlined by Thompson, 14 taxpayer-funded programs in particular were found to be rife with fraud since 2018. Those programs cost $18 billion, and Thompson said it’s possible that half of that, or more, could have been fraudulently claimed.
“I think we’re an outlier in a bad way,” Thompson <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NirLDCHIpr0">said</a> of Minnesota. “You don’t see fraud on this scale in other states. … Every day we look under a rock and find a new $50 million fraud scheme. That shouldn’t be the case in a state of our size. Certainly other states have problems with frauds, but I think our problem is unique.”
Walz, who’s unsurprisingly in the hot seat over the scandal, has contended that Thompson is engaging in “sensationalism” and says there’s “<a href="https://www.startribune.com/walz-says-theres-no-evidence-of-9b-in-fraud-exposing-rift-between-state-and-feds/601549681">no evidence</a>” the scope is $9 billion or more.
Earlier this month, Walz announced that he won&#8217;t seek re-election as governor this year. In a lengthy statement, the Democrat claimed Minnesota has been unfairly targeted by the Trump administration and cited the ongoing fraud scandals that the Justice Department is investigating and prosecuting, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tim-walz-gets-more-bad-news-from-feds-after-massive-fraud-scandal-exposed">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
“Like many Minnesotans, I was glad to turn the page on 2025. It was an extraordinarily difficult year for our state. And it ended on a particularly sour note,” Walz said.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) admitted during a recent interview that she doesn&#8217;t believe her party should be chomping at the bit to impeach President Donald Trump in the next two years.
Pelosi, who presided over the House through two impeachments during Trump&#8217;s first term, argued that in 2019 and 2020, the Democrats had a solid reason for moving ahead with impeachment — and that there was no obvious reason to impeach him based on his actions in his second term.
Pelosi delivered her assessment during an appearance on the USA Today podcast &#8220;The Excerpt&#8221; with Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page, and Page asked whether she would be behind a third impeachment effort if Democrats were to regain control of the House after the 2026 midterm elections.

&#8220;Just to make sure I understand you, [impeachment] should not be the agenda of Democrats for this last two years,&#8221; Page prompted the California lawmaker.
Pelosi, who just recently announced that she will not seek reelection in 2026, confirmed Page&#8217;s suspicions.

&#8220;No, I mean unless he — if he crosses the border again. But that’s not an incidental thing you say — ‘We’re going to do that.’ No, there has to be cause,&#8221; Pelosi said. &#8220;There has to be reason.&#8221;
&#8220;We had review. This was a very serious historic thing,&#8221; Pelosi continued. &#8220;And our founders knew that there could be a rogue president. And that’s why they put impeachment in the Constitution.&#8221;
Pelosi went on to take potshots at Senate Republicans, blaming them for the fact that neither of Trump&#8217;s impeachments had been able to get across the finish line to conviction in the Senate — or removal from office, which appeared to be the end goal.
&#8220;[The founders] didn’t know there’d be a rogue president at the same time a rogue Senate that didn’t have the courage to do the right thing. It was bipartisan in the Senate, but it wasn’t enough,&#8221; she complained.

&#8220;I promise you, this president is going to — he&#8217;s gonna be brought down,&#8221; Green <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRxJvYddf1c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> on Monday. &#8220;He&#8217;s going to be brought down. He has to be brought down and I don&#8217;t mean physically. I&#8217;m talking about politically. We will bring him down. He will be impeached again.&#8221;

Green made the comments during a press conference in Illinois, where Democratic Texas state lawmakers fled over the weekend to deny the quorum needed to advance a Republican redistricting proposal.
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-republicans-drop-new-congressional-map-that-would-flip-5-democrat-seats-red?author=Nathan+Gay&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Texas+Republicans+Drop+New+Congressional+Map+That+Would+Flip+5+Democrat+Seats+Red">reported</a>, the proposed map would shift Green&#8217;s Ninth Congressional District eastward into territory Trump carried by 15 points. Meanwhile, the 9th District&#8217;s current constituency would be packed into the vacant Democratic-held 18th District, according to Politico.
Trump has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-gop-can-get-five-more-house-seats-redistricting-just-one-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushing</a> Texas and other states to draw their congressional maps with the expectation that Republicans would gain seats. In retaliation, Democrats have rallied for mid-decade redistricting in blue states. Shifting lines could give either party an edge in the 2026 midterm elections.
During his first term, Trump was impeached twice when the Democrats controlled the House. One inquiry dealt with Ukraine, and the other with January 6. Both efforts ended in acquittal by a GOP-led Senate.
The Democrats are currently powerless to secure a new impeachment inquiry because Republicans control both chambers of Congress. But that has not stopped Green, who has accused Trump of &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-democrat-moves-to-impeach-trump-over-dastardly-deeds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dastardly deeds</a>&#8221; and sought to get Trump impeached again multiple times.
Most recently, in June, he put forward an impeachment resolution over Trump ordering strikes on Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities without the consent of Congress. It was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-gop-responds-to-texas-dems-failed-resolution-to-impeach-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defeated</a>, with the help of Democrats, in a 344-79 vote. That followed the House censuring Green in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/10-dems-join-gop-to-censure-rep-al-green-for-heckling-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bipartisan fashion</a> for his outburst during Trump&#8217;s address to a joint session of Congress in March.
The Wall Street Journal just <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/voters-abandon-democrats-support-hits-lowest-level-in-more-than-three-decades-poll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> a poll that found the popularity of the Democratic Party has plunged to its lowest level in at least 35 years. However, if they manage to win back control of the lower chamber, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/congressional-black-caucus-leader-impeachable-trump-los-angeles-deployment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicated</a> last month that impeachment could make a comeback.
&#8220;There will be plenty of time, when [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairwoman] Suzan DelBene guides us to the majority, for us to exercise oversight where we can ask some very difficult questions [about] the policies that the administration is going currently, but right now that isn&#8217;t our focus,&#8221; Aguilar said.

President Trump Delivers First Address To Joint Session Of Congress

Texas Democrat, Faced With Losing His District, Vows Trump Will Be Impeached Again

texas

U.S.

Texas Democratic Representative Al Green filed a resolution Tuesday to impeach President Trump over his ordering a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities without consulting Congress. The resolution was promptly shot down in a 344-79 <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025175">vote</a>.
Green’s <a href="https://algreen.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/algreen.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/final-draft-article-of-impeachment-2.pdf">resolution</a> alleged Trump was violating the separation of powers by disregarding the War Powers Clause of the Constitution by sanctioning a strike on three Iranian nuclear materials enrichment bases on June 21.
While announcing the resolution, Green said, “I take no delight in what I&#8217;m doing. I do this because I love my country. … I do it because I understand that the President of the United States of America has a duty to consult Congress before taking this country to war.”
“I do this because, if I do not, this authoritarian president that we currently have will continue to assume power,” Green added.
Although it was initially reported that Trump did not reach out to Democratic congressmen before the strikes, White House Press Secretary Karoline Levitt <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leavitt-debunks-completely-false-report-that-top-dems-not-given-advanced-notice-of-iran-strikes">confirmed</a> that Trump spoke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and attempted to reach House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) prior to the attack.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) praised Trump’s decisive actions in a <a href="https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1936602051431063760">post</a> on X.
“Leaders in Congress were aware of the urgency of this situation and the Commander-in-Chief evaluated that the imminent danger outweighed the time it would take for Congress to act,” Johnson said.
This is the second resolution Green has introduced since Trump took office for his second term. The <a href="https://algreen.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/algreen.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/h.res_.415-articles-of-impeachment-against-donald-john-trump.pdf">first resolution</a> was filed in May of this year and similarly claimed Trump’s actions were authoritarian.
Within hours of introducing the resolution, the House voted 344-79 to table it. 128 Democrats joined all 216 House Republicans against pushing forward the resolution.
This comes as Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/make-my-day-trump-dares-aoc-to-impeach-him">called out</a> Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in a <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1937510767030600179?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1937510767030600179%7Ctwgr%5E6b8149f37078205de859342cd41e05e4b6e76136%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fmake-my-day-trump-dares-aoc-to-impeach-him">post</a> on Truth Social. Trump urged them to try to impeach him to “MAKE MY DAY.” Both Ocasio-Cortez and Omar voted against tabling the bill.
“Democrats are the real threat to democracy, they&#8217;ll invent any excuse to impeach the president the moment they get power,” the National Republican Congressional Committee said in a statement following the vote. “128 Democrats just hid their beliefs and voted to table impeachment, clearly too scared to be honest and too weak to lead. Here&#8217;s the truth: If Democrats retake the Majority in 2026, out of touch Democrats won&#8217;t focus on the economy, border, or public safety. They&#8217;ll go right back to wasting time on political revenge and impeachment stunts.&#8221;
This is not Green’s first – or even second – attempt at impeaching Trump. In Trump’s first term, Green alone introduced <a href="https://algreen.house.gov/impeachment">three separate resolutions</a> to impeach Trump. Green’s gripes in those resolutions range from bigotry to transphobia.
Green is well-known for his disruptive political behavior. In March, Green was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/10-dems-join-gop-to-censure-rep-al-green-for-heckling-trump">censured</a> for heckling Trump during his address to a joint session of Congress. Following his censure, dozens of Democrats <a href="https://x.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1897674818666868765">flooded</a> the floor while singing “We Shall Overcome.”

Rep. Al Green (D-TX)

House GOP Responds To Texas Dem’s Failed Resolution To Impeach Trump

President Donald Trump dared Democrats to impeach him in a scathing social media post on Tuesday morning, naming Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) specifically and daring her to “MAKE MY DAY.”
Trump took to his Truth Social platform to post the missive, in which he referenced her recent threats to call for impeachment over his decision to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. He then took direct aim at the New York congresswoman, saying that she and other Democrats in Congress were flailing in recent polls.

“Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before,” Trump began. “The reason for her ‘rantings’ is all of the Victories that the U.S.A. has had under the Trump Administration. The Democrats aren’t used to WINNING, and she can’t stand the concept of our Country being successful again.”
Trump then used Ocasio-Cortez to bash Reps. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), saying that as “unqualified” as he believed Ocasio-Cortez to be, they were worse.
“When we examine her Test Scores, we will find out that she is NOT qualified for office but, nevertheless, far more qualified than Crockett, who is a seriously Low IQ individual, or Ilhan Omar, who does nothing but complain about our Country, yet the Failed Country that she comes from doesn’t have a Government, is drenched in Crime and Poverty, and is rated one of the WORST in the World, if it’s even rated at all.”
“How dare ‘The Mouse’ tells us how to run the United States of America!” Trump continued, pivoting to take a jab at former President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris. “We’re just now coming back from that Radical Left experiment with Sleepy Joe, Kamala, and ‘THE AUTOPEN,’ in charge. What a disaster it was!”
Turning back to Ocasio-Cortez, he added, “AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical. As the Doctor in charge said, ‘President Trump ACED it,’ meaning, I got every answer right. Instead of her constant complaining, Alexandria should go back home to Queens, where I was also brought up, and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime ridden streets, in the District she ‘represents,’ and which she never goes to anymore.”
“She better start worrying about her own Primary, before she thinks about beating our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, whose career is definitely on very thin ice!” Trump concluded, daring her to go ahead and “try” to impeach him. “She and her Democrat friends have just hit the Lowest Poll Numbers in Congressional History, so go ahead and try Impeaching me, again, MAKE MY DAY!”

Republicans are roasting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for suggesting on Saturday evening that President Donald Trump should be impeached for ordering strikes on three facilities in Iran to prevent that country from achieving nuclear weapons.
&#8220;The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,&#8221; the high-profile member of the leftist &#8220;Squad&#8221; declared in a <a href="https://x.com/AOC/status/1936600627221565468" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on X. &#8220;He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.&#8221;
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene quickly shot back at Ocasio-Cortez.
&#8220;Shut up you pathetic little hypocrite,&#8221; Greene <a href="https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1936615639621288028" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;YOU fully supported our military and IC running the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. And you VOTED to fund the Ukraine war under your President with dementia. You don’t get to play anti-war and moral outrage anymore.&#8221;
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) <a href="https://x.com/NRCC/status/1936758140760129890" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contended</a> on Fox News that Democrats did call for impeachment after former President Barack Obama attacked Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and Yemen during his tenure.
&#8220;For my colleagues that are now demanding impeachment, it’s absolutely absurd &#8230; these folks are truly reaching new levels of Trump derangement in the aftermath of yesterday&#8217;s decision,&#8221; he added, alluding to what has become widely known as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/trump-derangement-syndrome" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Trump Derangement Syndrome.&#8221;</a>
Dan Turrentine, who worked for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she was serving as a Senator from New York, agreed that the action was not impeachable — and decried his Democratic colleagues who were asserting that it was.
&#8220;It was too depressing to write this last night, after we got off air, so I went to bed. But, it needs to be said by more Democrats: this was not an impeachable offense, and Trump did not need congressional approval for one precision attack under the circumstances, just as Obama did not when striking Bin Laden,&#8221; he posted early on Sunday. &#8220;Why can’t our Party just say it’s great we achieved the objective and destroyed Iran’s nuclear sites, God bless the soldiers who carried this out and made it home safely, God bless our country, military, allies, and we look forward to a full intel briefing.&#8221; 
&#8220;If one must then assert Congressional authority at the moment, add that any escalation will require congressional approval. And if you must, express concern for where this may go and what might come next. But, for so many in my Party to knee jerk with unhinged calls for impeachment — and sadly omit in their statement support for Iran not having nuclear weapons, which has been a principle of our Party for 40 years — is truly TDS,&#8221; he added.

During his first term, Trump was impeached twice when the Democrats commanded the House. One inquiry dealt with Ukraine, and the other with January 6. Both efforts ended in acquittal by a GOP-led Senate.
Some Democrats have already been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/congressional-black-caucus-leader-impeachable-trump-los-angeles-deployment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushing</a> for Trump to be impeached in his second administration, including for &#8220;dastardly deeds,&#8221; but they are powerless to press ahead because Republicans control both chambers of Congress. However, that could change after next year&#8217;s midterm elections, as noted by Sen. James Lankford (R-LA) during an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHXweWk6SNQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; with anchor Shannon Bream.
&#8220;If Democrats get control of Congress, we are most certainly headed towards impeachment again. That has been the playbook that they&#8217;ve played twice on President Trump. So, certainly, if they get control of Congress in this next election, they will work towards impeachment. That&#8217;s their favorite play to be able to do,&#8221; Lankford said.

Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said on Tuesday that she believes President Donald Trump&#8217;s troop <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-sends-another-2000-national-guard-troops-to-l-a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deployment</a> in response to the violent anti-ICE protests around Los Angeles is worthy of impeachment.
In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3VMJlLi9nw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> on Capitol Hill, a reporter asked whether the descriptors that Democrats have applied to Trump&#8217;s actions — specifically: &#8220;lawlessness, and unconstitutional, and a violation of human rights&#8221; — would &#8220;rise to the level of impeachment&#8221; and whether they are &#8220;impeachable offenses.&#8221;
Clarke responded in the affirmative.
&#8220;Well, you know, I believe it is. I definitely believe it is,&#8221; the influential Democrat said, &#8220;but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.&#8221;
The president invoked the ire of Democrats for sending National Guardsmen and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles amid violent anti-ICE protests, leading to a legal standoff with California Governor Gavin Newsom, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-sues-trump-over-national-guard-deployment-says-president-manufactured-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued</a> the Trump administration and is trying to <a href="https://x.com/yashar/status/1932506908461838759" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stop</a> the deployment.
&#8220;Look, if we didn’t get involved, right now, Los Angeles would be burning &#8230; Los Angeles right now would be on fire. And we have it in great shape. I am not playing around,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1932477437549425074" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.

When asked about Clarke&#8217;s view on impeachment, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) indicated his party is not ready to go there.
“I&#8217;ve said before, from this podium, that House Democrats aren’t focused on impeachment today,” Aguilar <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59sURASZvos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during another press conference. &#8220;We are focused on holding the president and House Republicans accountable for the policies that attack the basic needs, like health care and food assistance.&#8221;
Some Democrats have tried <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rejected-by-his-own-party-democrat-backs-down-on-forcing-trump-impeachment-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushing impeachment</a> during this session of Congress, accusing Trump of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-democrat-moves-to-impeach-trump-over-dastardly-deeds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;dastardly deeds&#8221;</a> and other alleged offenses, but they have all fizzled out as the Republicans who are largely aligned with the president control the House.
But Aguilar went on to suggest an inquiry could be a consideration in the future — if Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairwoman Suzan DelBene (D-WA) leads her party to seize back the House with the midterm elections in 2026.
&#8220;There will be plenty of time, when Suzan DelBene guides us to the majority, for us to exercise oversight where we can ask some very difficult questions [about] the policies that the administration is going currently, but right now that isn&#8217;t our focus,&#8221; Aguilar said.
