The controversial move – to make Mayorkas the first Cabinet secretary impeached in nearly 150 years – amounts to a shift for the House GOP, which had set its sights on potentially impeaching President Joe Biden in early 2024. But with the Biden probe moving methodically and a number of Republicans still skeptical about impeaching the president, senior Republicans now believe targeting Mayorkas will be an easier lift as the border crisis becomes a defining campaign issue.
The emerging plan, according to multiple GOP lawmakers and aides, is to run the Mayorkas impeachment effort entirely through the House Homeland Security Committee as opposed to the House Judiciary Committee, where impeachment articles typically originate, though it is not constitutionally required.
The reason for that strategy – which sources said has been green lit by House Speaker Mike Johnson – is largely related to internal politics. Senior Republicans are confident they will have the votes to advance impeachment articles through the Homeland Security Committee, whereas there are still key Republican holdouts on the judiciary pane

WHY isn’t anyone saying anything about the late invite to deliver the SOTU. This is the latest date in modern times, and I have to think it is put off so that the GOP can pull some stunts during the address.

Musk responded to one X user whose mother told him about Italian news stations reporting nonstop about the drug allegations. The billionaire cracked that meanwhile, he was successfully leading “Tesla to be the world’s most valuable car company” and SpaceX “the most valuable space company.”
“Whatever I’m doing, I should just keep doing it,” he said.

The teabaggers will still be raging incoherently about Biden’s “corruption” while ignoring TFG taking $5 million from China (wouldn’t surprise me if it was more).
I’m glad it’s not news that Boebert and her ex had some sort of public spat that involved calling the cops.

The votes to impeach Biden ARE NOT THERE. And never will be.
I doubt the impeachment of Mayorkas will happen.
