I don’t remember if Lindsey Graham or Brett Kavanaugh melted down first, but their back-to-back, angry outbursts are part of the reason Donald Trump didn’t pull the nomination after Christine Blasey Ford came forward.

Right now, in the middle of Trump's war with Iran, Senate Republicans are keeping us here all night to vote on the most pressing issue they can think of: Giving $70 BILLION more to ICE and CBP. I'm going to fight them every step of the way.

321 days. That's how long it's been since Rep. Shri Thanedar filed H.Res 353 — seven whole articles of impeachment covering obstruction, corruption, bribery, tyranny, and a partridge in a pear tree. And since then? Crickets. No vote. No pressure. No follow-through.

Beneath that is a picture of Representative Shri Thaneder at a podium speaking. Beneath that is a torn sheet of spiral notebook paper which reads "Shri Thanedar filed H.Res 353 on 04/25/2025 with 7 Articles of Impeachment for: Obstruction and Due Process Violations / Usurping congress' spending power / trade abuse & aggression / unlawful office creation / corruption & bribary / tyranny. Next to it is a text bubble which reads "No action was taken, along with 5 others that went to die in committee."
