Dear @neguse.house.gov

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

I should have ignored the C-Span notice but I didn't. I have now used up my monthly allocation of swear words, and it's only Jan 3rd.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Trump certainly makes a compelling case for requiring competency tests for public office holders, but not in the way he thinks he does.

The end-of-year cast-on shawl is looking quite promising, even in its unfinished state. I can't wait to complete this and see it blocked out. 💕

8-year-old: So, where should we put it?

But this is key:
“Roughly 59 percent of current congressional Republicans entered office after Trump did. He does not need to threaten or bully them; many were selected precisely for their loyalty to Trump and to MAGA. In this sense, the party has truly been remade in his image.”

The initial strikes are still murder, the fact that they’re now making a big deal of the fact that they called the Coast Guard for search and rescue tells you they’re legit worried about consequences for the previous double tap strikes.
