House Democrats are working with moderate Republicans to reach 218 to impeach Trump before March 31 for abuse of power.

u.mmm An impeachment might slow Trumps abuse down somewhat--maybe.

Is there a discharge petition? As far as I knew there were not a ton of democrats that even signed onto recent attempts. Am I mistaken?

Al Green tried introducing impeachment resolutions 3 times in 2025 and Shri Thanedar tried once. No other Democrats signed onto these because they knew not a single Republican would vote to impeach. This time it's different because clearly a number of Republicans have signaled a willingness to possibly vote for impeachment. Democrats won't move forward with it unless they are reasonably assured impeachment would be successful.

I think I missed something. Personally I think this should be done ASAFP.

0-3 will just embolden him. Not that I don’t believe he should be impeached, but I don’t think impeachment alone will change his behavior.
