Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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."

And even if everything goes perfectly, what happens when she simply doesn't respond and continues working as usual? When she simply ignores it?

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I guess we should just quit, not even bother to try. Is that what you are suggesting?

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No. They are raising a valid concern that has already been demonstrated with the Attorney General.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

True, it is a valid concern. Have you any suggestions?

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Plenty. But suggestions are like wishes. You can make them all day long, but they’re useless without action, and right now we need action. Now organizing, that’s complicated.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

Here's 2 suggestions for action:

  1. Add your signature to this petition and promote it amongst your peeps : https://act.weareultraviolet.org/sign/no-fundraisers-for-killers/

  2. January 20, 2pm nation wide walk out. 3pm show up at your representatives office, and discuss why Noem should be impeached, including MN in the investigation of the murder perpetrated by Jonathon Ross, and other timely matters.

Unvoiced suggestions are less even than wishes.

See ya there, my friend.

No you're right, and then next we could try giving her the thumbs down. Maybe even booing.
