We’ve expanded our grounds for impeachment against Trump.
John,
BREAKING: Trump’s actions in DC and Texas are impeachable. We’ve now EXPANDED our grounds for impeaching and removing Trump from public office.
We have less than a month left before our representatives return to Capitol Hill. That means every member of Congress needs to hear from their constituents about impeachment in the next few weeks.
Trump has committed multiple impeachable offenses in August alone:
Unlawfully mobilizing military forces against civilians in the United States: Trump is abusing his power over the military to mobilize troops against civilians throughout the United States, in an effort to instill fear in the civilian population, quell lawful political dissent, politicize our military, and usurp local and state authority. These unlawful abuses of power include placing the District of Columbia police under federal control and deploying 800 DC National Guard troops throughout Washington, DC, purportedly to respond to crime in the city and break up encampments where unhoused people live. Trump took similar action in Los Angeles in June in response to civilian protests against ICE and has threatened to mobilize military forces in other cities.
Attempting to manipulate congressional districts to entrench his own power: Trump has pressured Texas Republicans to unlawfully gerrymander the state’s congressional districts to pick up five additional seats and threatened to weaponize the FBI to track down Texas legislators who have fled the state to protect their constituents, in violation of the Hatch Act. He is also directing the Department of Commerce to conduct a mid-decade census that excludes undocumented U.S. residents in order to redraw congressional districts, violating both the Fourteenth Amendment and Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution.
Donald Trump has violated the Constitution and committed multiple high crimes. The appropriate response to his actions, outlined in the Constitution, is the impeachment and removal process, a responsibility of Congress. We need Congress to do its job and hold Trump accountable with impeachment. The August recess is an opportunity for us to make that message clear to Members of Congress.
We’re witnessing an inflection point for our democracy. Now is the time to act.
P.S. If you plan to take action during the August recess, or if you already have, we want to know! Please reach out to [email protected] or reply to this email and tell us how you’re working to hold your representative accountable. Whether it’s speaking at a town hall, calling or emailing your member of Congress, or even tagging them online calling for impeachment, every little bit helps!
