More than 250,000 have signed a petition to support an impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump, who was twice impeached during his first term. The Impeach Trump Again campaign is being led by the advocacy group Free Speech for People. "This president has already committed multiple abuses of power since assuming the presidency, and the framers designed the Constitution to ensure that we would not have a monarch or a tyrant govern this nation," says the group's president, John Bonifaz. "When we see these abuses of power, we have to invoke this impeachment clause." Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.

REP. AL GREEN: THANK YOU!

  WHACK-A-DING MARJORIE TRAINWRECK GREEN & LAUREN BIBBITY BOEBERT both disrupted President Biden's speeches.....MAGA MAGGOTS took no action to condemn their conduct.  CIVIC SHOUT offered this condemnation of the 10 DEMOCRATS who supported the censure of REP. AL GREEN:  During President Donald Trump's recent State of the Union address, Rep. Al Green took a courageous stand against proposed cuts to Me dicaid. In a moment of profound conviction, he interrupted the speech, declaring, "You have no mandate to cut Medicaid," while pointing his cane toward the dais.

Al Green after Trump speech outburst … Tensions boiled over in Congress today as ten Democrats joined Republicans to censure Texas Rep. Al Green for his protest during Trump’s March 4 address. CNN reports Green shouted “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!” a few minutes into the speech, disrupting Trump’s blabbering fest, before being escorted out. The 77-year-old’s censure — a rare bipartisan rebuke — underscored GOP faux outrage and Democratic (unnecessary) infighting. Green doubled down on Twitter, saying “Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life.” Trump’s speech clocked 36 million viewers, per NBC, proving it was a valuable stage for Democrats to make a statement to Americans.

  By  Charlie Mahtesian Presented by the Coalition to Empower Our Future President Donald Trump talks with California Gov. Gavin Newsom after arriving on Air Force One at Los Angeles International Airport on Jan. 24, 2025. | Mark Schiefelbein/AP NEWSOM’S NUKE —  Gavin Newsom kicked off his new podcast today with a bang. The California governor and prospective presidential candidate  broke with Democratic Party orthodoxy on a host of issues  , including one of the most polarizing of all — the participation of transgender athletes in female college and youth sports. In his debut podcast episode, Newsom departed from the party line by suggesting that Democrats were wrong to allow transgender athletes to participate in female youth sports, distanced himself from the left’s use of pronouns and the gender-neutral term “Latinx,” called police defunding “lunacy,” and agreed that there had been some questionable practices in the leadership of the Black Lives Matter organ...
