Rep. George Santos has been charged with 23 federal crimes in relation to his successful 2022 campaign for Congress.
Last Friday, Santos formally pleaded not guilty to all 23 counts. And of course, in terms of criminal liability, Santos deserves his day in court and is innocent until proven guilty.
But the United States House of Representatives does not have to wait to take action against Santos — over these alleged crimes or over any of the other bizarre and demonstrably false things he has done prior to and during his time in office.
This week — possibly as early as tomorrow — the House could hold a vote to expel George Santos from Congress.
The move to expel Santos, by the way, has been initiated by his Republican colleagues in the New York congressional delegation.
Expulsion requires a two-thirds majority.
Tell Congress:
George Santos should be expelled from the United States House of Representatives.

Thanks for taking action.
For progress,
