Support among House Democrats for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.

That's an unprecedented level of support for an impeachment effort during President Trump's second term, with lawmakers who have bristled at the topic in the past now warming to the idea.

Kelly is urging Republicans to get on board with her efforts — even as no GOP lawmaker has come close to expressing support for Noem's impeachment.

"As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people's civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows," she said.

The fact that this is not a party line vote for democrats shows you how completely amoral the Democratic leadership is.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

This has not been voted on to my knowledge. This article is just about the cosigners officially submitting the bill.

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (3 children)

This doesn't matter. It wont get a vote in the house or the senate without republican support. Republicans still refuse to defy their cult leader, so nothing will change until they either realize they are going to prison, or that they will lose all of their money.

The only things politicians care about is money and control, they refuse to lose both.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

It doesn't even have full democrat support.

This is more kayfabe, this isn't real. We have ONE party in power, with two public facing personas.

I wish people actually looked at the money and realized that republicans and democrats all have the SAME FUCKING DONORS.

If we want to beat this, we have to flush every incumbent out of office and start fresh. We need community and organization and grassroots like they did in New York but all over the goddamn nation.

As long as impeachment effort remains divided along party lines, this is not a story worth publishing.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 87 points 4 days ago

Yeah, it is. The straggling Democrats need to be primaried. Noem makes up undeniable lies in front of Congress every time she testifies.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Dems growing a spine is a story worth telling.

Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.

That's still less than half the Dem caucus on a motion that should be a litmus test for Rules Based Intentional Order liberalism.

I'd say the most damning indictment of impeachment is that it's not along party lines. 113 House Dems aren't sponsoring a bill to remove the most corrupt bureaucrat to hold the DHS office.

Dems should be talking about DHS like Republicans talk about the IRS. Not whatever this is.

It is very disheartening that not a single R is supporting this. Or it would be if I had any heart left to dis.

Send her ass to the hauge

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's all symbolic, which is what DC Democrats specialize in. We have a one-party authoritarian state, and the Ruling Party will never allow it.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I can't understand why people don't see this. Democrats in the minority sure are fighters, but oh darn, they just don't have the numbers, so vote harder next time! Democrats in the majority suddenly have to be super diplomatic, lest they ruffle feathers across the aisle and lose cooperation with the political party that rarely cooperates. Keep voting hard and they'll get there, eventually!

Remember, everyone (in the US): 5Calls.org will tell you whom you should call about important issues, and it even gives you a script to work with when you call. It makes the process super straight-forward, and the site covers many topics.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

But they won't even consider defunding ICE.

The democrats are totally feckless

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 days ago (13 children)

It seems a little silly to me that they are talking about impeaching her, but not also Trump. Like who do they think she will be replaced with? My bet is someone worse. If Trump didn't want what ICE is doing they wouldn't be doing it.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 days ago (6 children)

That's simply because impeaching trump is a lot harder. They are in fact talking about it too tho

Hey I mean we could use a trebuchet, but I guess impeachment is... fine...

[–] FE80@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago (6 children)

The only reason Democrats are supporting this is because its failure is ensured.

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well ya, with a 100 out of 535 its nothing.

It will change nothing, but still should be done for our collective conscience and historic record that we didn’t want this

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The only thing this will show is which Democrats will side with Noem and/or Trump.

[–] itistime@infosec.pub 4 points 3 days ago

I that is an important metric

Not only the Dog Murderer, the whole fucking lot needs to GTFO!

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 41 points 4 days ago (14 children)

Wait a moment. I'm not American so I don't understand. In the house there are 213 democrats, so that means more than half of them is thinking that is perfectly fine and normal having someone like her? It doesn't seem like "skyrocketing numbers" to me. I understand that an alternate headline is "majority of House Dems are against impeaching noem"

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 days ago (8 children)

Thats exactly correct and anyone who tries to say otherwise is either being willfully ignorant or intentionally minimizing this fact. You might also be surprised to learn that many of these Dems voted against impeaching Trump for a third time last year. Their actions speak much louder than words.

The issue is, I don’t think it’s her so much as Stephen Miller. Even so, there is no shortage of individuals willing to take her role.

Yes, do it. Congress desperately needs to reclaim some of its power. But don’t expect her to be the last.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago

If you sign up to be the mouthpiece you should expect to be one of the first people to get punched in the mouth.

Impeach Trump before he starts a world war for crying out loud.

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 26 points 4 days ago

I believe you mis-spelled 'depose', or another more 'effective' word... 'impeach' has beem proven a synonym for 'wag a stern finger at, accomplishing nothing'.

[–] MuteDog@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wait, they didn't all want to impeach her after like the first week?

Civil disobedience is the only answer going forward.

Start forming your own governments with your own laws. Ignore the 'legitimacy' of the US oligarchy as much as possible.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (12 children)

What about trump? Impeach trump... remove him from office for being a dumb old super idiot man baby... why do we care about this person when the root of the problem is still running the USA....

exploding

Can't be an actual explosion because then the Dems would actually be doing something useful.
