An impeachment effort against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem will “move forward,” members of Congress are promising, after the effort was announced last week in the wake of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shooting a United States citizen in Minneapolis.

“We’re gonna move forward to impeach Kristi Noem,” Representative Angie Craig, a Minnesota Democrat, vowed during an interview with MS Now on Sunday.

In a press release, Democratic Representative Robin Kelly‘s office said that the 3 articles of impeachment would allege Noem “abused her office for personal benefit and steered federal dollars to associates,” “willfully obstructed Congressional oversight and withheld Congressionally appropriated funds in violation of her constitutional oath and federal law” and “compromised public safety, violated due process of American citizens, and directed unconstitutional actions.”

    How many years did the GOP keep relentlessly putting up new abortion restrictions, having them voted down or immediately overturned by courts before they got their big win? “Virtue signalling” is how you keep your political coalition together. “Virtue signalling” is how recruit the voters that eventually let you win.

      Exactly, fighting for issues is what wins, long before you can achieve it. Drugs, healthcare, freedom, gov abuse, are all things to fight a popular fight on, and organize while you do it. Register some damn voters, organize, make sure the county vote is fair now.
