I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.
And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.
As the Constitution requires.
Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

So y’all only want to abolish the filibuster for your priorities but leave it for everything else, @SenatorHagerty?
Hey @TheDemocrats stop letting them play in your face. Abolish the filibuster when you can, like Obama said.

Sen. Bill Hagerty says Republicans are looking at weakening the filibuster to ram the SAVE America Act through the Senate (Trump, who has called for "nationalizing" elections, has been pushing hard for the bill ahead of the midterms)

O'Keefe to Homan: "2 agents now on leave bc video evidence shows sworn testimony appears to be untruthful. DHS initially said officer who shot the migrant was being ambushed. Combine that w/ 2 deadly shootings & a Chicago incident where evidence contradicted govt - does this undermine trust in ICE?"
