Today, Congressman Shri Thanedar (MI-13) introduced articles of impeachment against Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, citing a sweeping abuse of power, flagrant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny that undermine American democracy and threaten the rule of law.

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

The resolution includes seven articles of impeachment outlining a range of constitutional violations.

    Yes. People need to get out and fucking vote. Anything less than 80% participation in a presidential election is shameful.

    But you need to do some background I think. California 22 might be “only” 3k, but it was 53%-47% in 2024. It’s also voted Republican since 2002 (1) The real headfuck about CA-22 is how it’s 73% Hispanic and reliably red.

    Same shit with CA-3. “Only 24,000 votes” - they won that district by ten bloody points 55%-45%. There were 400,000 votes in the district. Thought it’s a little more purple. (2)

    Also, your numbers are off compared to wiki. Not sure where the discrepancy is but CA-22 and CA-3 were lost by 11,000 and 46,000 respectively.

      The Hispanic people voting R can be explained by “traditional values” and “religion” - I think.

      It blows my mind but I know Hispanic folks who will vote R.
