Care about impeachment? Read this!
Hi, all.
Sorry for two emails in one morning. I forgot to tell you that joining me on my Substack Live today at 4PM PT / 7PM ET will be John Bonifaz, President of Free Speech For People. They’re the org behind the current push to impeach Trump.
John will explain why now is the time for this fight, what the grounds for impeachment are (spoiler alert, there are a lot of them), and how you can help. Hope to see some of you there!
And if you want to see the amazing resources FSFP has compiled check out their impeachment website in advance!

I get it that many activists want this, but Indivisible has made it pretty clear, 1. Yes he has clearly committed impeachable offenses 2. We do not have the votes to convict 3. So this would be purely performative 4. There are other actions that at least have a chance of having a tangible result.
I feel these repeated attempts to impea h Trump without any chance to get the votes needed to be successful are going to make it even more difficult when and if Dems and progressives have the majority in votes. Why? The public will just think, "Again?" It's benn done and if we keep repeating this procedure it will become less valued and seen as a cheap trick. I want Trump out ASAP but feel it is a waste of effort right now. There are SO MANY CRITCAL MESSAGES we NEED TO BE PUTTING OUT NOW UNTIL ELECTIONS. The sector of the public we need to engage with has a short attention span, less buy in and include magas who will be questioning their choice of Trump. To try mi
Multiple times to impeach him, we might loose those people. Many do not even know what impeachment is, and the SCOTUS will not let it stand either.I would love Trump to melt into a greasy spot and go to jail. But I do not think another impeachment trial will move our cause or help bring in more voters.
