Am I the only one who thinks it sucks that we have no expectation that Republicans will defend the rule of law and no hope that Democrats will do so unless it's politically expedient?
How about we impeach him because he broke the fucking law.

I'd like to amend this:
Elizabeth Warren
Julian Castro
Pete Buttigieg
are all Democrats who support impeachment. Let's do this.

A few more thoughts on impeachment:
1. We didn't have a wave election in 2018 so Democrats would be passive. They were elected w the mandate to check Trump.
2. Leadership saying, "It's bad politics to impeach," is bad messaging (so we only do the right thing if it polls well?)

3. Unlike REMOVAL from office which is in the Senate, impeachment is in the House, so it doesn't matter if we have the votes to remove him.
4. A public reckoning of the endless crimes of the Trump family would dominate the news cycle every day for the rest of Trump's term.
