My position on impeachment is the same as it was six months ago: Impeachment is first about driving public attention to Trump’s crimes and corruption.
Democrats should introduce impeachment articles and force votes to boost their parallel media effort.
Performative public investigations matter.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.

Interesting: a study of narcissism across 53 countries ranked the US as only 16th most narcissistic. Surprisingly low! I dug up the journal article about it: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Best take I’ve heard, IRL: “This operation looks like it was designed by the same people who did the East Wing.”

Here's Marco Rubio burying himself & this regime — what *legal authority* grants a nation to barrel in & take over the governance of another?
Did these Trump 2.0 clowns think this simple Q wouldn't be asked?
This is why the regime wants to control the press. No accountability.

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

Administrations have come up with lots of flimsy rationales for why their wars don't need congressional authorization over the years, but this might be the most transparently bad faith and facially absurd.

"what should be remembered every time a new national security boondoggle like the REAL ID is proposed—is that when our [4th A] rights are eroded, there is no evidence or piece of plastic that will suffice to overcome an officer's "reasonable suspicion" once the government decides you're a target."

It’s not just that DHS administers RealID - the administration explicitly bases its election security policy on RealID proving citizenship. If it doesn’t, then you’d need a passport to vote.

There are a theoretical set of circumstances where a person with a REAL ID would be removable but the actual occurrence of that would be so vanishingly rare that this is almost necessarily a policy intended to result in the arrest and detention of US citizens, both naturalized and native-born
