28. Impeachment
Mon Nov 24, 2025, 09:54 PM
Nov 2025

Assuming we flip the House in ‘26 but fail to get a good sized majority in the Senate (54+ in order to have a chance of a bipartisan conviction) impeachment is a waste of time and will be seen so by the public. He’s been impeached twice. Once more does nothing but hand the Republicans a talking point and take the focus off all of the MAGA policies that hurt ordinary people.

Mamdani won on affordability and other kitchen table issues. We need to do the same on the national level and not get drawn into exciting side shows. Trump is actually much better at directing a circus than National Dems. We need to stay away from that.
