Democratic members of Congress have filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth while nearly 100 congressional Democrats are calling for the president’s removal from office over his threats to Iran.

Rep. John Larson of Connecticut has filed 13 articles of impeachment against Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors, including the president’s “criminal lawlessness” that has “invited blowback against the United States and its citizens risking 9/11 2.0.”

The congressman accuses Trump of a “serial usurpation of the congressional war power” and “commission of murder, war crimes and piracy” with attacks in Iran, Venezuela and in international waters against alleged drug-running boats and elsewhere.

His proposal also accuses the president of illegally militarizing law enforcement and surging immigration officers into U.S. cities to unlawfully detain and deport “citizens or immigrants based significantly on race or ethnicity or political opposition.”

How did we ever get here?

6. Excellent! This is what we need!

Sure! Won’t happen with Trump lackeys in control!! But it puts us on the record of being on the right side of history and shows we are DOING THE WORK OF THE PEOPLE! And any Democrat that doesn’t sign on? That’s on the record too!

[BComplex]

17. Yep! We need to know if there's a democrat that would support trump.

9. My 2 cents: This gives tremendous power to gop congressional leaders to go to Trump and rein in his

worst impulses. Impeachment threat is real now.

Will the gop go along with whatever world war can happen or years of asymmetrical attacks in the US...or...will they use their muscle, finally? I have to think something along these lines has been discussed in the past but we seem to have crossed a serious red line.

10. If that doesn't work, send an even BIGGER message next

This past weekend, the deranged juvenile delinquent currently soiling the Oval Office, Capitol Hill, America’s Constitution and the country itself proved beyond any doubt that he could very soon escalate to NUCLEAR threats– if Iran continues to fight back against his unapproved personal war. Trump must GO. Before impeachment, though, it might be more effective for Democrats to (1) Ask VP Vance and Trump’s Cabinet members to sign a “Formal Intention of 25th-Amendment Removal,” (2) Launch that process if enough people comply, or (3) If too many decline, proceed to impeach-- in a single class action--   “Trump, Vance, and all Cabinet members who refuse to remove Trump despite his proven, overwhelming unfitness to remain in office. To remove those who refuse to do their Constitutionally mandated jobs.”   This would be (adapting Trump's favorite hyperbole)  a shot "unlike anything the world has ever seen” across this corrupt Administration’s bow.   It would, at the very least, strongly remind Capitol Hill that Justice is on the way. Regardless of how many patriotic Americans his criminal Administration jails or how many future elections they try to steal, Justice is coming. [Oh... and release the rest of the Epstein Files. We MUST continue insisting on this.]
