@TCatInReality@mastodon.social COrrect. Also #impeachment is a lot easier to pass. Having said that the Constitution needs a serious update. The very fact that it's 'subject to interpretation' is nuts.

Because Massie’s resolution carries special procedural powers, it started a legislative clock that required #GOP leaders to put it on the floor in the coming days. But now, #Republicans have found a way to stall that vote by leaving early & postponing it until November. #Trump #MikeJohnson #Hegseth #impeachment #idiocracy #kakistocracy #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #war #ForeverWars #WarCrimes #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #NationalSecurity #MiddleEast #economy

The #impeachment resolution touched on more than #Iran. #ThomasMassie also took aim at #Hegseth for what he called the “kidnapping of a sovereign foreign leader” in #Venezuela, referring to the capture of then-President Nicolás #Maduro. He accused the #Pentagon of #abduction of the nation’s leader “under the guise of narcotics law enforcement, though in actuality intended to assert #US control over Venezuela’s #oil reserves.” #geopolitics #law #Congress #Trump #sovereignty #InternationalLaw

#House #Republicans had planned to remain in session until Thursday, but will now take their last votes Wednesday evening on a major White House priority—a Russia sanctions bill—& then leave town. The next time House lawmakers are expected back in DC will be after the November #elections. #Trump #MikeJohnson #Hegseth #impeachment #idiocracy #kakistocracy #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #war #ForeverWars #WarCrimes #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #NationalSecurity #MiddleEast #economy

At roughly noon on Tuesday, #ThomasMassie, a #Republican from #Kentucky, stood up on the floor of the #House and read articles of #impeachment against #PeteHegseth into the record. Not a press release. Not a tweet. A privileged resolution, which means #MikeJohnson can’t bury it in #Judiciary the way he buried the two Democratic versions. The House has to deal with it within two legislative days. Massie didn’t give #GOP leadership a heads-up. He just walked in and did it.

Domestic #Emoluments Clause: Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 ensures the #POTUS receives a fixed compensation and prohibits the POTUS from receiving "any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them". The ultimate constitutional remedy for Presidential self-dealing, corruption, or abuse of power is #impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction by the Senate. #NoKings "unparalleled exercise in self-dealing" a US judge has said in a scathing ruling.

“Rather good summary of🚨Don Jr’s #corruption from Hunter Biden, which is not a sentence I ever imagined typing out even 2 years ago.” -M Hasan There’s regular corruption, & then there’s Trump-sized, systemic corruption, that may persuade a few Republican MOC to join #Democrats in voting for an #impeachment resolution, to save their seats in Nov. “I hope everyone had a great July 4th. I know #Trump & family did. 250 years ago we declared🚨independence from a king…” -HB #TrumpCrimeFamily #USPol

"And🚨🚨🚨there it is.... Update in Trump's🚨$10 billion lawsuit against his own IRS, in which he seeks taxpayer-funded damages for the prior release of his tax records. Trump🚨legal filing says he's in "discussions" with his own IRS to "avoid protracted litigation." -S MacFarlane Another reason for immediate #impeachment‼️If Congressional #Republicans refuse, which is likely, they'll be on record for misusing taxpayer💰. It'd be a⚡made-for-TV ad for Dems. #Corruption #IRS #DOJ #TrumpRegime #USPol

"Attendees at the 2026 Conservation Political Action Conference seem to be dazed and confused after a disastrously chaotic month for President Donald Trump. In the last 30 days, he has started a war in the Middle East, deployed federal agents to airports, and refused to end the partial government shutdown." ~ Marin Scotten #Trump #CPAC #MAGA #impeachment #Iran #war #oil #gas #airports #ICE #AirTravel /1

"While speaking from the CPAC stage Friday in Grapevine, Texas, American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp asked a question he apparently thought would hype up the crowd. 'How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?' The crowd erupted in cheers. 'No,' Schlapp responded, shaking his head. 'That was the wrong answer. Let me try it again.'" #Trump #CPAC #MAGA #impeachment #Iran #war #oil #gas #airports #ICE #AirTravel /2

Meine Sorge ist, dass #Trump aus Angst vor einer Wahlniederlage bei den #Midterms schon jetzt gegen die Glaubwürdigkeit der #Wahlen vorgeht & versuchen wird, sie zu fälschen. Er sprach auch selbst bereits vor seiner Furcht vor einem #Impeachment & folgenden, juristischen Verfahren & meinte ggü. #Reuters, „wir sollten eigentlich gar keine Wahl haben.“ (!) Die #USA stehen in 2026 auf der Kippe zum fossilen #Faschismus. Fürchte ich. (3/3)
