Comes as dozens of members are calling for impeachment or 25th Amendment process to remove Trump (over 70 as of last night), and the number is almost certain to grow. Taking it off the table.

The entire Democratic membership of the House Judiciary Committee called on Trump to be legally removed by his cabinet yesterday. Seems like an odd time to leave.
Going to be lots of tweets like this today, but House Democrats also have the ability to initiate removal proceedings themselves and refer them to the Senate. A lot of statements effectively pawning it off to Pence.

Schumer is calling on Pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment. But VERY notable, he also is asking the House to come back and vote on impeachment if they do not, something others have not said. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
. @ThePlumLineGS reports House Judiciary also looking at impeachment — earlier just called on Pence to invoke 25th Amendment washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Senior Dem leadership. All the momentum clearly heading one direction now.

The idea Democratic voters are going to let their House members just chill for two weeks and do some constituent work back home seems pretty absurd, but also seems like that’s not going to happen based on thr latest public statements.
There it is. Pelosi calls for impeachment, pending failure of 25th Amendment removal. Schumer already on board. This sure seems like it's happening.

And members are going to put pressure on them to act soon, I'm guessing
