Tammy Baldwin (D., Wis.) objected to the impeachment of homeland security chief Alejandro Mayorkas last week as “political games.” But earlier in her career, she spearheaded fringe attempts to impeach former President George W. Bush over “climate change” and Vice President Dick Cheney for “aggression against the Republic of Iran.”

After 15 months of trying to pull a Biden family crime spree out of thin air, lead impeachment zealot James Comer has watched his dreams of MAGA glory crumble into dust. Comer, the House Oversight Committee chair, told a Republican colleague that he’s ready to be “done with” the whole fiasco, according to CNN. “Comer is hoping Jesus comes so he can get out. He is fed up,” another GOP lawmaker said. There’s just so much humiliation one man can take, I guess. The effort by Comer and co-zealot...
Maybe I’m going out on a limb here, but the hapless House Republicans have finally achieved something big: an end to tit-for-tat impeachments. Of course, that’s the opposite of the achievement they promised two years ago, ahead of the midterm elections that gave them control of the House. Back then, some chest-beaters were vowing to impeach President Biden as well as members of his Cabinet, starting with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas, the administration’s border security...
It is regrettably that having lost at the Supreme Court, President Boakai has shamelessly doubled down in his abuse of Presidential power by suspending holders of tenure offices. The conduct of President Boakia to suspend tenure- holders amidst the Supreme Court’s ruling that it was unlawful for him to have dismissed tenure-holders is doubly illegal, []
House Republicans’ attempt to impeach President Joe Biden has fizzled out. But the two members tasked with the job, Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and Oversight Chair James Comer, needing to atone for their failure, have picked another fight: threatening to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt over the Department of Justice’s refusal to provide the audio recordings of Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur in the classified documents probe. Garland is refusing to play...

Eric Ciaramella was a close adviser when Biden threatened to cut off U.S. aid to Ukraine unless it fired its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., no doubt hoped that House Republicans’ efforts to impeach President Joe Biden would end in a glorious victory. As chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, Comer has poured everything into his crusade to take Biden down, with no witness too sketchy to rely on, no theory too preposterous to consider, and no allegation too absurd to shout. In the end, he and his compatriots were sure, the full horror of the president’s misdeeds would be exposed, the...
Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has promised his Democratic colleague to deliver a list of "high crimes" he says President Joe Biden committed that qualify him for impeachment. Recent comments from fellow lawmakers confirm the opposite. "Comer is hoping Jesus comes so he can get out. He is fed up,” a GOP lawmaker told CNN Wednesday. Now, his colleagues are mocking Comer's failure. "I was hoping our breakup would never become public," Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) posted on X. "We had such a great thing...
