Support among House Democrats for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.
That’s an unprecedented level of support for an impeachment effort during President Trump’s second term, with lawmakers who have bristled at the topic in the past now warming to the idea.
Kelly is urging Republicans to get on board with her efforts — even as no GOP lawmaker has come close to expressing support for Noem’s impeachment.
“As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people’s civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows,” she said.

The fact that this is not a party line vote for democrats shows you how completely amoral the Democratic leadership is.
This has not been voted on to my knowledge. This article is just about the cosigners officially submitting the bill.
This doesn’t matter. It wont get a vote in the house or the senate without republican support. Republicans still refuse to defy their cult leader, so nothing will change until they either realize they are going to prison, or that they will lose all of their money.
The only things politicians care about is money and control, they refuse to lose both.
It doesn’t even have full democrat support.
This is more kayfabe, this isn’t real. We have ONE party in power, with two public facing personas.
I wish people actually looked at the money and realized that republicans and democrats all have the SAME FUCKING DONORS.
If we want to beat this, we have to flush every incumbent out of office and start fresh. We need community and organization and grassroots like they did in New York but all over the goddamn nation.
Not true
Oh that’s a good point. Didn’t think of that.
The democrats are totally feckless
Send her ass to the hauge
And absolutely nothing will happen. Nice job America!
Hey I mean we could use a trebuchet, but I guess impeachment is… fine…
But they won’t even consider defunding ICE.
They literally will and are.
That’s good to hear. Last I had heard, leadership was against the idea.
Civil disobedience is the only answer going forward.
Start forming your own governments with your own laws. Ignore the ‘legitimacy’ of the US oligarchy as much as possible.
The fact that democrats want this to happen so badly can only mean it’d be completely useless to do it
Go waste someone elses time
You are sadly right, the Dems wanted this. They support it, they are enabling all of it.
The public outcry they pretend to display is just theater. These people all have the same donors who benefit from domestic destabilization.
It seems a little silly to me that they are talking about impeaching her, but not also Trump. Like who do they think she will be replaced with? My bet is someone worse. If Trump didn’t want what ICE is doing they wouldn’t be doing it.
It’s all performance.
If the Democrats didn’t want ICE and domestic chaos that will pave the way for more corporate involvement in all our lives, it wouldn’t have happened.
We have one party with two narrative faces. They all have the same donors, they all serve the same masters. The rest is just WWE theatrics.
“if Democrats didn’t want ICE and domestic chaos it wouldn’t have happened”
This is absolute bullshit. When democrats controlled the white house and Senate this didn’t happen. The parties are not the same and the constant refrain that they are is a malicious lie. The only beneficiaries of this kind of both sides FUD are the nazis.
There were more deportations under Dems, the difference between the parties is how they present themselves and what methods they go about plunging the nation into neo-liberalism. I implore you not to be naive about this very, very well-established system for manipulating the attitudes and feelings of a half billion people.
I am not saying don’t empower Democrats, the DNC is just a container, we vote out the previous contents of that container and put new contents in. It has worked before and we need to do it again.
Unless you actually, truly, in your heart believe that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and their contemporaries are looking out for you. If you do, I can’t help you, but I’m sure they will hear your support when you’re in the camps.
Did I say anything good about Chuck schumer or Jeffries?
I think I said Schumer was a corporate shill that needs to be primaried. They are both genocide enablers and should be run out of Congress.
They are both genocide enablers and should be run out of Congress
Exactly.
Now what about all the other dems who follow DNC leadership who were “just following orders?”
Have you watched major votes on policy? Dems are complicit either in leadership or as a whole, but it doesn’t matter because if you follow evil orders you are also evil.
I gave a path to success. What is your suggestion?
No you didn’t, at least not to me. I was the one giving prescriptive statements (Vote out all incumbent democrats, elect new people who represent our values and aren’t beholden to the same donors) you just pushed back on it like I was suggesting we elect more Republicans.
That’s simply because impeaching trump is a lot harder. They are in fact talking about it too tho
Removing either is equally as hard, requiring a simple majority.
Both having the same vote requirements doesn’t mean they’re equally hard
Either requires republicans to break rank and suffer the same consequences from the party leadership.
No, a simple majority is needed in order for the House to impeach. A supermajority in the Senate is then needed to convict.
A simple majority in both to do anything that will have any effect on policy, eg not theater.

Third time’s the charm!
It’s all symbolic, which is what DC Democrats specialize in. We have a one-party authoritarian state, and the Ruling Party will never allow it.
I can’t understand why people don’t see this. Democrats in the minority sure are fighters, but oh darn, they just don’t have the numbers, so vote harder next time! Democrats in the majority suddenly have to be super diplomatic, lest they ruffle feathers across the aisle and lose cooperation with the political party that rarely cooperates. Keep voting hard and they’ll get there, eventually!
This is in fact true. If people voted for Democrats overwhelmingly and then primaried the DINOS like fetterman and the corporate shills like Newsom and Shumer we would see the change we want eventually. FDR did it. He did it with supermajorities in both houses of Congress and he also needed 4 terms to remake the supreme court.
It’s a generational project, and supremely unlikely to happen because a significant part of the electorate does not want it. But it could happen. If voters shifted 30 points to the left and stayed there for a generation it would happen.
100% agree, that’s my (not so) secret political fantasy - everyone working together to better their lives and those of others. Instead, we got whatever 2026 is turning into.
wait a second this is starting to sound like a .ml community.
Krusty Gnome is a birdlegged ho
The only reason Democrats are supporting this is because its failure is ensured.
Well ya, with a 100 out of 535 its nothing.
Yeah this is not an explosion, it’s a simmer.
Once again the controlled opposition plays lip service to what the people want. What’s the over/under on this effort dying and then going “welp, we tried! There’s nothing we can do”
I certainly understand, and even agree with that opinion, but there IS a strategic objective possible.
The MAGA Senate will likely let her off the hook, and they’ll have to run against that vote in November, when she will only be more reviled, and her poison will be dripping on anyone associated with her.
And there is always the remote possibility that enough MAGA Senators are tired of the nightmare, and decide to vote to convict her. If they do, and it looks likely to happen, the rest will all jump, too.
That’s exactly what happened with the Epstein Files vote. It was supposed to get covered up, but everyone ended up voting FOR it in this exact scenario - because they didn’t want to run against a No on Epstein. We have to make them fear a No on the Puppy Killer.
They will probably just replace her with Greg Bovino though…
That’s fine, it couldn’t be any worse, and if it does get worse, that hurts them far more. They think that they will eventually scare us into submission, but we aren’t 1930s Germans. Americans were raised on fables of revolution and overthrowing tyrants, and they are only going to get MORE radical in the face of government tyranny, not less.
Bring it on, MAGA, we’re collecting receipts, and keeping records. Nuremburg is coming.
And then impeach him. And if trump pisses them off badly enough, they can impeach him too.
Andrew Johnson was a lame duck after impeachment, because even though he kept his office, he was on notice from Congress.
