BREAKING: Donald Trump just said he won't rule out running for a third term.
When we called him an autocratic fascist, we meant it. When we said he wanted to be president for life, we meant it. And we weren't wrong.
Chuck Schumer rolled over for Trump and Elon Musk. We can’t wait to elect his replacement.
Fuck Chuck.

Gavin Newsom must resign. People who host neo-Nazis on their podcasts have no place in the governor’s mansion of one of the most progressive states in the country.
Hugely unacceptable. These ten people don’t understand the gravity of the historical moment we are in. And if they can’t understand the stakes, they shouldn’t be in Congress.
Lots of respect to everyone in this picture but signs and silence won’t cut it. This kind of passive protest pales in comparison to what Al Green bravely did tonight.
Out of 262 Democrats in Congress, only ONE was willing to interrupt Trump’s speech until being escorted out — and even he left willingly.
The stakes are high enough that all Democratic Members of Congress should be jeering until they are literally dragged out of the room.
38% of Medicaid recipients are 18-years-old or younger. As young people we have an obligation to stand up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s attacks on Medicaid not just because it’s the right thing to do but because our lives literally depend on it.
These widespread feelings alone cannot warrant impeachment; however, the executive actions taken by President Trump which have contributed to public fear and mistrust clearly do.

One month. 744 hours. 44,640 minutes. As of 12:00 pm ET, that is how long Donald Trump has been President of the United States in his second term. But to the tens of millions of Americans whose livelihoods and whose lives are endangered by President Trump, it has felt like a lifetime.

We know that with a GOP-controlled Congress, this goal is unlikely to be achieved, but we nonetheless are spurred by the gravity of Trump’s actions. If Congress does not act, history will judge every one of its members for their inaction at such an existential crossroads for our nation.

Members of the House of Representatives — where impeachment proceedings originate — must treat this historical moment with the urgency it deserves. We call for articles of impeachment to be filed immediately and for proceedings to begin.

“The idea that anyone can become an American and that anyone born here enjoys the rights of citizenship is wonderfully unique in world history. Checks and balances protect this American Dream. Trump is attacking American values and those with the power to stop him are obligated to do so.”

“At Path to Progress we engage millions of young people, most of whom don’t have the same degree of legal expertise as jurists and scholars. But even the most casual observer should understand the fundamental principles of birthright citizenship and checks and balances on presidential power.

“Donald Trump has been president for just a month and in that time he has already made completely unprecedented power grabs and undermined fundamental aspects of American democracy,” said Sam Weinberg, the Executive Director of Path to Progress.

Moreover, in Federalist Paper No. 65, Alexander Hamilton argued that impeachment can stem from “those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust.”

President Trump has fully betrayed the public trust. There is clear precedent for this: 155 years ago, President Andrew Johnson was impeached for actions that constituted executive overreach and which, like President Trump’s, usurped power from Congress.
🧵 6/15
Trump's subversion of the Constitution of the United States constitutes the high crimes and misdemeanors required by the Constitution to impeach a president. President Trump’s executive overreach will only grow more widespread and damaging if it is not immediately put to a stop by Congress.

Similarly, his freeze on trillions of dollars of federal spending subverts Congress’ power of the purse which is well-established both constitutionally and through centuries of case law delivered by jurists with a wide spectrum of judicial and political ideologies.

President Trump’s unconstitutional attempt to undo the Fourteenth Amendment via an Executive order to abolish birthright citizenship flies in the face of even the loosest possible reading of the Constitution.

We’re calling for the House of Representatives to pursue articles of impeachment pursuant to Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution following the president’s multiple recent unconstitutional actions.

We’re only a month into Trump’s second term and it’s already long past time to impeach him again. We’re one of the first and only major organizations to call for Trump’s impeachment in his second term. Here’s why:

If Democrats don’t wake the fuck up, there’s a really good chance of a Dem version of the tea party movement taking out a few incumbents in primaries next year.
The base is *pissed* and wants fighters. A lot of Dem electeds are just sitting on their hands and doing nothing.
To their credit, Democratic Senators filibustered for over 30 hours to stop this from happening.
Our Senators need to get their priorities in order.
