Support among House Democrats for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.

That's an unprecedented level of support for an impeachment effort during President Trump's second term, with lawmakers who have bristled at the topic in the past now warming to the idea.

Kelly is urging Republicans to get on board with her efforts — even as no GOP lawmaker has come close to expressing support for Noem's impeachment.

"As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people's civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows," she said.

They will probably just replace her with Greg Bovino though...

That's fine, it couldn't be any worse, and if it does get worse, that hurts them far more. They think that they will eventually scare us into submission, but we aren't 1930s Germans. Americans were raised on fables of revolution and overthrowing tyrants, and they are only going to get MORE radical in the face of government tyranny, not less.

Bring it on, MAGA, we're collecting receipts, and keeping records. Nuremburg is coming.

And then impeach him. And if trump pisses them off badly enough, they can impeach him too.

Andrew Johnson was a lame duck after impeachment, because even though he kept his office, he was on notice from Congress.
