House Republicans moved in historic fashion and impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by a single vote on Tuesday night, succeeding on their second try in punishing the steward of President Biden’s immigration policy.
The unprecedented and partisan resolution — which cleared the House over opposition from Democrats and three GOP members — may not go very far in the Senate, as some Republicans in the upper chamber do not believe that Mayorkas’s actions clear the bar for the high crimes and misdemeanors necessary for conviction. But Mayorkas is the first sitting Cabinet secretary to be impeached and some bipartisan and legal observers worry that the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to rein in a public official is being misused as partisan weapon.

Wow, what a victory. This was definitely a much better outcome than trying to create bipartisan border legislation. Or, like, I don’t know, a budget?
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THEY DID THIS JUST DAYS AFTER THEY SCUTTLED THEIR OWN IMMIGRATION BILL !!!
🤡🤡🤡🙈🤡🤡🤡
Chuck Schumer should tell Moscow Mike that he’ll hold a vote on Mayorkas if the House holds a vote on the foreign aid package. Then pull a Republican and renege.
House GOP shows that they’re deeply unserious about governance, again, and half of the country will lap up their verbal diarrhea with the utmost joy.
So…instead of debating and tweeking a ready-made bill that had everything they asked for, these schmucks kick the can down the road and bitch about their made for Fawx News crisis?
Worthless assholes. Get everyone you know to vote these fuckers out.
