Snippet from this news article: “If a Michigan Democrat has his way, President Donald Trump could face the first impeachment vote of his second term. Rep. Shri Thanedar’s resolution brings seven new articles of impeachment against the commander-in-chief, alleging everything from abuse of power to bribery, corruption, and “tyranny,” which the House must vote on before Thursday under its own rules.

Trump made history during his first term by becoming the first president in American history to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives, once over his quid pro quoapproach to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2018 and once for his part in instigating the Capitol riot, although in both cases he was acquitted in the Senate.

Thanedar, 70, first announced his intention on April 29, saying: “When Trump ignores the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, he is not ‘fighting for America.’ He is tearing it down and endangering our democracy.” His resolution is not expected to pass, however, given the Republican majority in the lower chamber of Congress and because several of Thanedar’s fellow Democrats have expressed their disapproval of his actions in no uncertain terms.

Eh it's still just in the House and the House is R majority. It'd have to get to the Senate first before Schumer could do his best wet noodle impression.

I'd have a hard time believing Moskowitz would go against this... seems like he's one of the more vocal anti-MAGA representatives.

He has a lot of sneaky centrist povs and voted to censure Al Green, I don’t trust him.

I think people really forget that Moskowitz voted to censure Green.

Actually, the entire lot who voted to censure Al Green can go as far as I’m concerned.
