Chapter 1: Who introduced the impeachment resolution against Trump?
a democratic congress member from detroit introduced a resolution for the impeachment of donald trump today on the house floor this utterly pissed off the mega republicans in the house and they tried to cut off the democratic congress member from even speaking i want to show you what went down here as you have Democratic Congress member Sri Thanedar. He's a Congress member from Detroit.
He's about to introduce this resolution for impeachment. Then MAGA Republican Representative Wilson says, stop talking, stop talking. I want to show you the introduction of this resolution. Let me show you what happens when the MAGA Republicans try to interrupt first. Let's play this clip.
Department of Education, as enacted in the Department of Education,
From South Carolina, seek recognition. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Michigan was recognized for one minute. He has substantially exceeded one minute with absurdities.
Actually, the gentleman at this point had spoken for one minute, then was recognized subsequently to give notice under Rule 9 for a resolution. So the gentleman has the floor for that purpose. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The gentleman from Michigan may continue.
So then finally, Democratic Congress member Thanadar gets to introduce the resolution. You know, and it's a pretty powerful resolution. Look, with the MAGA Republicans in control of the House and the Senate, they're not going to pass any such resolution. But Donald Trump is engaging in high crimes and misdemeanors before our eyes. It's clear that that's happening every single day.
And frankly, multiple times a day, Donald Trump is committing crimes. whether it's accepting bribes, whether it's defying Supreme Court orders. Donald Trump is a criminal. He's always been. He's a felon. He's a sexual abuser. He is a fraud. He is a bankruptor. He is a utter embarrassment to the United States of America.
So, you know, let me know what you think about the fact that Democratic Congress member Thanadar is introducing this resolution for impeachment. Obviously, the MAGA Republicans are going to block it. But what do you think about him even introducing it? Let me show you what went down. Play this clip.
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Class 2A1 of Rule 9, arise to give notice. of my intention to raise a question of the privilege of the House.

Chapter 2: How did Republicans react to the impeachment resolution introduction?
It's very clear. First of all, I think that The so-called Homeland Security spokesperson is a joke. It's a joke. They know better than to go down that road. And it's been made loudly and abundantly clear to the Trump administration. We're not going to be intimidated by their tactics to try to force principled opposition from not standing up to their extremism.
It hasn't happened during the entirety of this failed term. It didn't happen when Donald Trump temporarily was sitting high in the immediate aftermath of the election. Do you think it's going to happen now? when he's the most unpopular president in American history after his first 100 days? Give me a break. No one's intimidated by this dude. No one.
And so there are clear lines that they just dare not cross.
And here's one of the propagandists of the regime angling to be the new pink dress lady after Caroline Leavitt. Here she is, Tricia McLaughlin. She's been making a lot of appearances on Fox. Again, just an utter humiliating human being. Let's watch what she has to say. Play this clip.
She's not fighting for American victims. And I'd like to lay out the facts. The fact that it was these three members of Congress who trespassed, broke the law and stormed that ICE detention facility. They put law enforcement at risk. They put our detainees at risk and they put our staff at risk. Had they asked for a tour, we would have happily facilitated one for them.
But there was absolutely no notice. And the fact that they put hands, they body slammed, body rammed, push, shove, whatever you want to call it. It was assault on our ICE agents and it's unacceptable.
Now, folks, there was also a markup in the Energy and Commerce Committee today. The markup is, again, to take away your Medicaid. The Energy and Commerce Committee is where markups around Medicaid take place, as we've reported here on the Midas Touch Network under the new GOP. tax bill, not the new one, the tax bill.
They need to raise the debt ceiling by approximately $4 trillion or more, adding massive amounts of money, massive amounts to our deficit. This is the least fiscally responsible thing. They're going to be giving trillions and trillions of dollars in tax cuts for the billionaires. And the plan right now is to cut your Medicaid. That's clear. Get rid of Medicaid.
You'll lose it under the current way the resolution is framed. There were protests that broke out today. Chaos in the House Hall in general. Play this clip.
