Democrats call for House leadership to cancel recess and focus on impeachment

Members of the lower chamber are scheduled to fly out for a two-week break following votes on Friday, but a growing number of progressive members and Democratic presidential candidates argue now is not the time to leave Washington.

“Congress is about to leave for a two-week recess – we should not do that. We need to stay in Washington to work for the American people,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), the first vice-chair of the House Progressive Caucus, said in a video posted to social media.

“The House should cancel its break and start impeachment proceedings now. As the whistleblower made clear: Every day Trump is in office, our democracy is less safe. We can’t wait to act,” O’Rourke tweeted. - The Hill

Oh my! I couldn't be prouder to be a democrat.

2. we got to keep on calling our Reps

and Senators each day he is a threat to us and the world. Really. This is up to us. Let's keep on them. Those who have not called your Reps and Senators must say we are okay with Impeachment.

Plus we all know how we are always brought in the mix of things like the "American people this, the American people that".. Let them know we are aware of what's going on in this country.

3. Agree. The more this shows to be a national security risk, the less likely RW media can help Reps

And the more they will defect to the right side of history.

Hope this is indeed what happens - it is so needed.

7. Makes sense that key people will be working in DC while most rally

support for action from their constituents and local media, educate their districts on the situation, etc.
