You are our savior!!!! Thank you Jerry for laying out useful #. I am calling them all today for impeachment. Not tomorrow…. Today impeach … why have the word if we don’t take it seriously in the first time it is more valuable to our survival as a. Country.
We also must kick all Congress members out of their apathy. My god we get furious over football teams cheating! Are we so drugged w the apathy that we can’t see the truth?
While I agree wholeheartedly with your suggestion that Felon47 be impeached as quickly as possible, and replaced by someone who, while they may differ politically, at minimum respects and will adhere to the laws of the United States, if we're going to approach Republicans (and some Democrats) with a concept that has failed twice to remove the traitor from office we're going to need a very pointed and specific bill of particulars to present. It will have to be tightly worded and supported by publicly available information that is incontestable because it will be attacked immediately as a purely political play and we can't afford to waste this weapon because of the much greater than zero possibility of success.
Like Daniel, I'm represented in Congress by a MAGAt; unlike him, her district was very carefully drawn to avoid a challenge two cycles ago that would likely have resulted in her defeat. I'll happily pay a visit to her local office and present our arguments, but having a concrete document to leave would strengthen the presentation immensely. Maybe Cong. Raskin or someone on his team could take the lead on this and give us something to work with while we set about building support for the action. I suspect that persuading enough House Republicans to support an impeachment would shake loose at minimum sufficient Senators to convict and remove him. Time is indeed of the essence, but so is lining up the ducks.
Jeffries could offer Mike Evans, deposed by Trump as chair of the House Foreign Affais Committee, to be chair. Offer Fitzpatrick a similar deal.
101 House Republicans voted for Ukraine funding. Surely some are pissed over Musk, allied has choice assignments to offer. with Putin and China, who is a government contractor with conflicts in interest, in essence taking control of our Treasury. https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024151 Jeffries has some choice assignemts to offer.
Some of the same 101 are minorities, women,or Hispanics who have to reject the attack on DEI.
Jerry, you've motivated me to re-engaged with this battle to save American democracy.
For the first time since the election I've posted again on my Substack newsletter, and specifically referred my several hundred subscribers to your site, and to this post in particular.
It is easy to give up; that's part of their avalanche of evil.
But your courage is contagious, so here we go again.
All of the above Mike. I do think though that if it is clear enough from the House vote that Trump is losing his political grip and that the Democrats, including Fetterman, are united, the Republicans might muster their courage just long enough. Let's face it, there is no Trumpista bench, he's it for now.
Thank you for encouraging me to call the 3 Bipartisan Republicans. I left messages with them, as well as the 4 Dems you suggested, and told them I am supportive of Impeachment. That feels good to express at this moment!
There used to be an old R&B song that said "One Monkey Don't Stop the Show." But the situation in DC defies that, since one Monkey (no offense to real monkeys) has made mincemeat out of our democratic legislature, and is operating as many have stated, as the leader of a COUP!
I just read where the lunatics have tried to literally get rid of NOAA!!!! Now that gets me personally as someone who reads the USWS/NOAA reports every single morning, and I do not think that should be done, and if necessary we send in the Army to stop the renegades!
And to fire all the FBI personnel who assisted with the January 6th investigation when they were under orders to do so? Who does he think he is: KING? More like the devil himself, I swear! A more evil man than DJT is I haven't heard of since Ronald Reagan!
But now the clowns are in control, and it's scary as hell!!!! Every day the head Monkey makes statements or "executive decisions" that make our heads spin, and that's exactly what he wants us to do--to make us SO ANGRY that we DON'T speak out, instead we turn off the "news" and stop reading the Substack letters or the NPR webpage, as I do every single day.
So, bottom line, we HAVE to stay engaged! We have to speak out! And even though we can't even get through on the phone lines to our reps, we can send them e-mails or even (gasp!) snail mail letters to let them know how justifiably angry we are! Thank you Jerry Weiss for your excellent column today.
Thank you for this and for your list of concrete actions any of us can and must take. The people also need to hit the streets - public rallies that are loud, big, and representative of a broad swath of the community - labor, clergy, students, young, old, men, women etc etc. Social media has its limits- especially since “they” own it and can turn it off.
Trump must be stopped, people, do something. I am going to the 50 Protests, 50 States now. I have called or emailed any name I could find in Congress, IMPEACH them now.
Just like the Nazis, Trump and Musk are seizing assets.

“The German Labour Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF) was established in May 1933 after the Nazi regime abolished trade unions and seized their assets. Led by Robert Ley, the DAF became the sole labor organization in Nazi Germany, encompassing both workers and employers. It set conditions of work, such as hours and rates of pay, effectively eliminating workers' rights to strike or engage in collective bargaining. Labor trustees appointed by Hitler had the authority to regulate labor contracts, often siding with employers, which kept wages low despite economic recovery.”

Phase 1 of Vought's plan is mass layoffs.
Phase 2 of Vought’s plan is to rehire Trump loyalists.
Stop the coup.
Hakeem Jeffries can identify about 20 House Republicans who possibly could flip. Three are Cuban Americans from Miami. Here's a letter from a MAGAT, my rep, who represents a majority Dem district. https://files.constantcontact.com/1849eea4801/cd2e90be-43c8-4171-b3c6-a357621f7db9.pdf?_gl=1*uo1jgf*_ga*MDMwMjhjMzctZTFlNy00YzExLWE3NTEtZGUxMmY1OGY0YjEw*_ga_14T5LGLSQ3*MTczNzc0NTk1My4zLjEuMTczNzc0Njg2Ny44LjAuMA..
Please identify all these reps and interview them. Pressure them.

I'm in. I"ve been in retreat/stop/wait/recover/figure out/ avoid mode since 11/5/24. Now, with this, I'm back and I'm in. We must.
why are there only three comments here??
come on, People....
thank you.

Jerry, while I'm with you on this, impeachment is only being charged, the actual 'trial' and removal occurs in the Senate with a 2/3 majority vote.
It may be easy to get a simple majority in the house, and it may not be, but finding 20 of the spineless Republican Senators is pretty much DOA.
While it is nonetheless a worthwhile endeavor, it shouldn't be the only one.
My thought at the moment is an endless stream of lawsuits, all over the country, giving the already hobbled AG's office something to keep them busy.
My 2nd thought is to have a very solid slate of candidates ready for 2026 and have them ready in the next 60 days.
All of the above Mike. I do think though that if it is clear enough from the House vote that Trump is losing his political grip and that the Democrats, including Fetterman, are united, the Republicans might muster their courage just long enough.

Where are the names and numbers? I want to get a few friends and start writing and calling. Thanks!

You would also need to commit to a seriously talented security team for them
Very Clear- Will Do!
