Jasmine Crockett says Trump impeachment inquiry 'absolutely' on the table



Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas has emerged as a front-facing figure in her party following President Donald Trump's sweeping victory in November, and with this newfound prominence, Crockett is looking to take action.

During an interview Sunday, Crockett vowed to launch an inquiry into Trump if she were to become chair of the House Oversight Committee. Crockett is now eyeing the vacancy following the passing of Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia, who previously served as ranking member of the committee.

"I would absolutely at least do an inquiry," Crockett said. "Absolutely. I mean, I think that there's more than enough to inquire about. ... I brought up Elon Musk earlier. We don't understand what all they were doing, what kind of deals were even made for Elon to be given this amount of privilege."

'He likes to violate the law, whether it's criminal or civil.'

"And then the pressure that he's put on various organizations," Crockett added. "We saw that the merger with Verizon was able to take place only once they said no diversity, equity, or inclusion. We know that they have put a ridiculous amount of pressure and seemingly are trying to pull back resources from the likes of Harvard, because Harvard decided that they were gonna push back against his illegality."

Crockett also claimed that Trump, who himself has been the target of lawfare, is honing in on law firms so that he can receive free legal services because "he likes to violate the law."

"We know that he's shaken down so many of these law firms for free legal fees because he's gonna need them," Crockett said. "Because one thing that we know is that he likes to violate the law, whether it's criminal or civil. So these things need to be fleshed out, and we need to fully understand. And in fact, that's the Trump stuff."

"And the reason I bring up the Trump stuff is because there is one committee in the Congress that has the authority to actually do oversight over the president," Crockett added.

For Crockett to become chair, she would have to be elected to ranking member on June 24 and Democrats would have to regain control of the House during the 2026 midterms.

"It's the Oversight Committee," Crockett said. "It is the only one that has that ability. And so I think that we need to make sure that we do it. I think that no matter what happens, history needs to know the truth."

3 Democrats ask to be removed from resolution to impeach Trump



Three Democrats have asked to be removed from a resolution to impeach President Donald Trump, in a sign that the out-of-power party is retreating from the strategy against the president.

Democrats have had to conjure up asymmetric attacks on Trump after a disastrous election in which they lost control of the U.S. Senate and the Oval Office and only slightly dented Republican control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

That leaves Thanedar with only one member supporting his resolution.

Despite some very early efforts to mount a campaign to impeach the president, three Democrats have abandoned the cause for now.

Democrat Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan proposed an impeachment with seven articles that included bribery, corruption, and "tyrannical overreach." Despite existing for only a few days, the impeachment has already lost support from Democrat Reps. Kweisi Mfume of Maryland, Robin Kelly of Illinois, and Jerry Nadler of New York.

On Tuesday they officially requested their names to be taken off the impeachment proposal, and the House clerk granted their request.

A spokesperson for Mfume said he removed his support because of a mistaken assumption about the proposal.

“Congressman Mfume removed himself as a co-sponsor from H. Res. 353 because he was made aware it was not cleared by Democratic leadership and not fully vetted legally — and he preferred to err on the side of caution,” said the spokesperson.

A spokesperson for Kelly had a similar comment.

“The Congresswoman was under the impression that the resolution was drafted and reviewed by both the House Judiciary Committee and leadership when she originally signed on during a vote series on the floor,” read the statement.

That leaves Thanedar with only one member supporting his resolution, Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois.

Thanedar said he would persist nevertheless.

“I cannot speak for the actions of other members. But I am doing this because Trump has blatantly violated the Constitution,” he said in a statement to The Hill.

House Democratic Caucus Chair Rep. Pete Aguilar of California said that Democrats would not back the proposal because there was no support from Republicans.

"We don’t have any confidence that House and Senate Republicans would do their jobs. And so this is not an exercise that we’re willing to undertake," said Aguilar.

Trump celebrated 100 days of his second term on Tuesday.

Democrat plagued by primary challenges announces 7 articles of impeachment against Trump



Democrat Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, though the effort would be a long shot in the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives.

Thanedar is facing numerous primary challenges, partly over his support of Israel. The 70-year-old was first elected to Congress in 2022 and was born in India before immigrating to the U.S. and becoming a citizen in 1988.

'His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service.'

On Monday he said that he would support the impeachment of Trump based on seven articles.

"Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as president and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy," said Rep. Thanedar in a press release.

"His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service," he added. "We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act."

Among the articles were obstruction and abuse of executive power, abuse of trade powers, violations of the First Amendment, bribery, "tyrannical overreach," and corruption.

"This is not about partisanship. It’s about protecting our democracy and ensuring that no one, not even a president, is above the law," he added.

The Democrat is facing two primary challenges in 2026, including from a candidate backed by Justice Democrats, the organization that backed the rise of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). He has been criticized widely for his support of Israel.

In 2023, Thanedar renounced his membership in the Democrat Socialists of America over their support of the Hamas terrorists who attacked Israel.

"After the brutal terrorist attacks on Israel, which included the indiscriminate murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocent men, women, and children, I can no longer associate with an organization unwilling to call out terrorism in all its forms," he said at the time.

In February, Democrat Rep. Al Green of Texas called for Trump's impeachment only 16 days after the president got back into office.

Democrat congressman already submitting articles of impeachment against Trump. Again.



A Democratic congressman has submitted new articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump only 16 days into his second term.

Rep. Al Green of Texas claimed that Trump advocated for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip when he offered his plan to solve the conflict between Israel and those residing in the region.

'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and injustice in Gaza is a threat to justice in the United States of America.'

"Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke," said Green on Wednesday. "Especially when it emanates from the president of the United States, the most powerful person in the world, when he has the ability to perfect what he says."

Trump has said that the U.S. could take over the Gaza Strip, relocate the Palestinians to other states, and then rebuild the region so that they could have a better life. Critics called the plan ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

Green went on to berate Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for standing next to Trump as he made the announcement about Gaza.

"The prime minister of Israel should be ashamed. Knowing the history of his people, to stand there and allow such things to be said. Ethnic cleansing has been a crime against humanity," he added. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and injustice in Gaza is a threat to justice in the United States of America."

Other Democrats have excoriated Trump over the Gaza solution. Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan was especially strident in her condemnation of the president.

"Palestinians aren’t going anywhere," she said on social media. "This president can only spew this fanatical bulls**t because of bipartisan support in Congress for funding genocide and ethnic cleansing."

Trump has been impeached twice, once for his alleged involvement in the rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and again for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Virginia Democrat Candidate Eugene Vindman Ducks Debate Against Republican Opponent

Sister-In-Law Of Virginia Democrat Candidate Mocks New Trump Assassination Attempt: ‘Carry On’

The sister-in-law of a Virginia candidate for Congress doubled down on remarks Sunday dismissing the assassination attempt.

Could new Senate bill doom a Trump presidency?



The Senate has passed a $95 billion “national security bill,” but Glenn Beck believes it should actually be called a foreign war bill, as it does less for the border than it does for foreign countries.

However, that’s not the end of it.

Senator J.D. Vance is under the impression that this bill could give Democrats a powerful tool if Donald Trump were to win the 2024 presidential election — as there is a hidden clause within it.

The hidden clause would give Democrats the ability to impeach Trump if he tried to stop funding Ukraine.

“Using a weird archaic rule from the Impound Control Act, the Democrats argued in 2019 that because money had been appropriated to Ukraine,” Vance explains to Glenn, “and because Trump had refused to spend the money as appropriated, he had actually violated the law.”

Vance goes on to tell Glenn that what the Democrats have done with this law is appropriate money not just through the end of 2024, but into 2025 and 2026.

“So if Trump again refused to give the money that was appropriated to Ukraine in exactly the manner prescribed, they would not have just a similar but the exact same argument for impeaching him in 2025,” he says.

“It would be absurd and spurious, and we would hopefully defeat it, but we shouldn’t give the Democrats weapons, because they might stupidly use them,” Vance warns.

Glenn isn’t pleased with this hidden clause nor the bill itself.

“This is a wrong-headed bill,” he says. “It will be discovered at some point: Who enriched themselves? What NGOs enriched themselves, what politicians enriched themselves, where did all this money go?”

“It will be revealed; it’s just a matter of time,” he adds.

Former Rep. Justin Amash considers US Senate bid



Former Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump in 2019, announced that he is thinking about jumping into the 2024 Michigan U.S. Senate GOP primary.

"Today I'm launching the Justin Amash for Senate Exploratory Committee as I consider entering the race," Amash tweeted. "We need a principled, consistent constitutional conservative in the Senate—someone with a record of taking on the bipartisan oligarchy, defending sound money and free speech, fighting the surveillance state and military-industrial complex, and protecting all our rights. The stakes are high: freedom, social cooperation, and human progress itself."

— (@)

Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan announced last year that she will depart the Senate when her term ends in early 2025.

If Amash throws his hat into the ring, he will join a Republican primary field that already includes figures such as former Rep. Peter Meijer, former Rep. Mike Rogers, and former Detroit Police Chief James Craig.

Amash served as a House lawmaker from early 2011 until early 2021. While he served as a Republican throughout most of his tenure, he dumped the GOP in 2019 and became an independent, and then switched to be a libertarian in 2020.

In 2020, he announced an exploratory committee to pursue the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination, but less than a month later, said he would not run. "I've concluded that circumstances don't lend themselves to my success as a candidate for president this year, and therefore I will not be a candidate," he tweeted.

Amash, who currently describes himself on X as a libertarian, has advocated for ending the Federal Reserve. "Not just no central bank digital currency. No central bank. End the Fed," he tweeted.
