FUCKING FINALLY
He's grandstanding because he's got two progressive challengers who are actually left.
This won't go anywhere
You're right. It probably won't go anywhere, but we have to fight.
Maybe won't, but the effects of tariffs didn't hit ordinary people yet. Reports say that it will take about 3 weeks.
All those deep red dollar general towns.....hahahaha eat your cake
House reps should have been doing this practically day one, given all the corruption wafting off this administration. I'm glad Congressman Thanedar pulled the trigger at last. I'm sad it'll be snuffed out long before it matters to anyone, but thrilled to see someone in the Democratic Party seems serious about making noise.
That said "we" isn't you, me, and U.S. Congressman Shri Thanedar. And this isn't materially affecting the Trump Admin's ability to wield unchecked executive power. This is a token act of resistance. All we can really use it for is a litmus test from within the Dem Party, to gauge who is seriously in opposition to Trump and who is treading water until the next election cycle.
As congressional action, its paper thin. As popular action it isn't anything at all.
Its a little hard to do it on day one. Need to give a few weeks to build up the counts.

Al Green from Texas introduced articles of impeachment months ago.
