House Republicans are eyeing a redo on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week after the conference fell short of penalizing the embattled Cabinet head in a stunning — and embarrassing — fashion.
The House is slated to hold another vote on impeaching Mayorkas on Tuesday, which Republicans expect to be successful, as Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) returns to the Capitol following cancer treatment. If all members are present and vote the same way as last week, and Scalise is supportive of impeachment, the effort will just squeak by.

This is turning out to be their next buttery males, which was their next Benghazi, which was their next Fast And Furious etc.
Anything to get out of actually acting in good faith and, you know, governing.
That shouldn’t even be legal.
It’s the only “governing” they know and want to do.
Which is exactly why it shouldn’t be legal.
Congress should not be allowed to vote for the same thing over and over.
You can’t be tried for the same thing over and over again in different courts, much less the same one. The Double Jeopardy doctrine should apply to Congress as well.
At the very least, you should have to wait until the next session.
So you don’t think they should be able to try to vote on Ukraine aid again since the vote failed in the House?
Would there be a point to it? Is it going to magically pass the house the next time this session somehow?
They have to try it today, the special election for Santos’s seat is today. While the outcome is not certain, there is a snowstorm blowing through Long Island and all the MAGAs don’t trust early voting so I think the Democrat may have an edge there. Assuming he wins, then Republicans will not have the votes to do it until the special election for McCarthy’s seat next month (which ought to go Republican)
Republicans, conservatives, GOP, whatever you want to call them are a clear and present danger to our democracy. Eventually, I hope, we the people will act accordingly.
Republicans, conservatives, GOP, whatever you want to call them …
Fascists.
Hold on, I fucked up. Do-over!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
House Republicans are eyeing a redo on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week after the conference fell short of penalizing the embattled Cabinet head in a stunning — and embarrassing — fashion.
Back on the House side, lawmakers may consider legislation related to the nation’s warrantless surveillance powers this week after Congress approved a short-term extension of the authority last year.
And all eyes will be on New York’s 3rd Congressional District this week as voters head to the polls to select a successor to former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who was expelled from Congress last year.
Support for Kyiv has become a hot-button issue in the House GOP conference, with an increasing number of Republican lawmakers becoming skeptical of additional aid for the embattled U.S. ally.
The House may vote on legislation related to the U.S.’s warrantless surveillance powers this week, according to the schedule from Scalise’s office, bringing the hot-button issue back to the forefront after lawmakers failed to reach a consensus on reforms last year.
But if Suozzi wins his seat back, flipping the district from red to blue, the House split would be 219-213, meaning Republicans can only lose two of their own on party-line votes with full attendance and still get their efforts over the finish line.
