You do it to build public pressure on other members of Congress to support it, which is the first step of achieving it. Avoiding mention of it and helping maintain the veneer of normal government functioning (when in reality we're in crisis) does the opposite
But we are talking about impeaching a clearly lawless president for a third time... What good does a third impeachment do if the first two never stuck?
Additionally, they should have never allowed him on the ballot after 1/6 and the felony convictions. So there are levers to be used.. None work

Every investigation is a chance to find something new. Did any Republicans say, “hey nothing to this Whitewater deal. Let it drop.” ? Fuck no they didn’t.

Public safety is not why Trump has the National Guard holed up in DC. It’s to suppress protests against Trump when he steals an election or starts arresting swathes of politicians and citizens.

This galaxy is VERY tiny—much much smaller than our own Milky Way—& incredibly distant. But we can see it AND distinguish its shape!
How?
The light we see from it is from SO LONG AGO that the Universe was MUCH smaller at the time: we see it as it was when it was close enough to us to look big!! 🤯

This is what the most distant confirmed galaxy looks like. The light we're receiving was emitted when the Universe was ~15x smaller in linear size than today, and right now it's ~30 billion light-years away from us. The light was emitted when the Universe was <300 million years old. Pretty amazing!

ICE agents get a name back from face recognition and multiple agents start calling out "Maria! Maria!" to see if a woman in custody reacts. (Presumably if she does that's a match???)
It didn't work, so they ran the app again and got another name.
