Clyburn: Democrats Should Put Affordability First If They Win the House

Rep. Jim Clyburn said that if Democrats win back the House, impeaching President Trump should not be the top priority; instead, they should focus on making housing, education, energy, and healthcare affordable and accessible, with impeachment decisions left to the relevant committees if needed. He also reflected on his past support for Clarence Thomas, apologized for it, and expressed openness to expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices.

Capitol protestant airman: detention deepens after impeachment call

US Air Force Major Jason Watson, who spoke at the Capitol last month urging President Trump’s impeachment, has been detained again and ordered into pretrial confinement at a Maryland facility amid unclear misconduct allegations. The Air Force says there is probable cause to support continued misconduct, while Watson’s lawyer suspects his CNN interview may have influenced the decision. Watson was previously arrested on July 1 for protesting in uniform on the Capitol steps, a rare form of dissent within the military which prohibits political activities in uniform.

Cassidy stands by impeachment vote despite Louisiana primary defeat

Sen. Bill Cassidy says he has no regrets about voting to convict Donald Trump in the 2021 impeachment, arguing he upheld the Constitution even as it cost him his Louisiana seat in a Trump-endorsed primary defeat. Returning to Washington, Cassidy defended his stance and signaled he may weigh in on upcoming votes, while criticizing a new fund tied to Trump allies; fellow Republicans largely avoided commenting on his loss as a June runoff between Julia Letlow and John Fleming looms. Lisa Murkowski expressed regret that Cassidy won’t be back in the Senate.

Issa pushes expungement of Trump’s impeachments from House records

Rep. Darrell Issa introduced H.Res.1211 to expunge Trump’s 2019 and 2021 impeachments from the House record, arguing they were based on false information and misconduct in the process; the measure has backing from Jim Jordan and 20+ GOP co-sponsors and would treat the impeachments as if they never passed, a move critics say is largely symbolic and legally uncertain, while supporters say it aims to address alleged early missteps and allow a formal hearing on the facts.

Gabbard pushes DOJ referral over whistleblower handling in 2019 impeachment

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has referred a criminal matter to the Justice Department tied to the whistleblower complaint that spurred the 2019 impeachment of President Trump, releasing transcripts and interview notes she says show the intelligence community inspector general did not follow policy in handling the case (including Atkinson’s testimony). The move drew bipartisan reaction as lawmakers debate accountability and the handling of the whistleblower affair.

Democrats push to hold Trump accountable after Iran crisis

After Trump’s threat to wipe out Iran, Democrats publicly pressed for accountability, urging removal via impeachment or the 25th Amendment, while pushing for war-powers legislation that would require congressional approval for further strikes; with Republicans in control of Congress, a removal push remains unlikely, though constituent calls and base pressure are mounting.
