Congress, Get Back To DC NOW! It's An Emergency
When a President of the United States, the head of a country that has been a beacon of freedom, orders a genocide of an entire people, it is not enough to issue statements in condemnation. This is not a moment for partisanship. Every human being who has been elected to Congress and was witness to the evil threat Donald Trump made to obliterate an entire civilization must come to Washington, D.C., and do the duty which they swore to uphold.
As Senator Ed Markey said earlier Wednesday on CNN, "What Trump and Hegseth were planning was a war crime. They were planning an actual genocide — an actual destruction of a civilization. That's why Trump should be impeached. That's why Democrats should file impeachment articles against Trump. That's why the 25th Amendment to remove him should be invoked."
That's a good start, but it's not just Democrats. Republicans have agency. They're certainly able to decide whether they want history to see them as genocidal or not. Let's hear that from every Member of Congress -- Democrat AND Republican -- and let's hear them from the steps of the Capitol before they convene to impeach this son of a bitch. Don't let them get away with partisanship here. They have a sworn duty to the Constitution, not the President.
