As of Feb. 6 2026, more than a year since Trump’s minions began a rampage thru congressionally funded society, my rep @jayapal.house.gov has yet to introduce articles of impeachment or even publicly support any impeachments proposed by her colleagues

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

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

Impeachment is the only Constitutional check Congress has against a lawless president and talking about it would be a good start to reasserting Congressional power in the future. Assuming of course Congress wants to do that
Speaking out like this is all they can do now. Impeachment is a total and complete joke, and threatening to use it is akin to threatening to hit someone with a wet noodle. Impeachment is no longer a viable tool to use against Republican politicians.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

If every website removed their paywall for a week, you'd see how much of what's in the Epstein files was covered in real time. And you'd remember what actually happened in the first Trump term and how everything he's doing now was announced then. Paywalls are a massive self-inflicted wound.

Today on Volts: I'm joined by the great @michaelhobbes.bsky.social to discuss "reactionary centrism," an intellectual tendency that's come to dominate US public life. You know the type: would never view themselves as conservative, yet finds voluntary pronoun use vastly more aggravating than fascism.
All about "reactionary centrism"
Michael Hobbes joins me to diagnose the pundit class's obsession with scolding the left while the right burns down the house.
