      Yes, but really no.

      They impeached him, which is the name of the procedure to remove an official from office, but then they didn’t have the Senate votes to remove him from office

          Us, right now?

          This isn’t a unicorn. Literally the entire Senate voted to release the Epstein files, that unanimously passed law in the Senate was not followed

              It’s not going away. Why do you think Congress members have resigned this post month? It’s not because they care, it’s because they realize being an incumbent is a liability at this point

                A lot of the Congresscritters resigning are eyeing higher offices now that they’ve secured a pension through their five year term of service in the House.

                And while this is certainly a shit year for Republican incumbents, the gerrymandering favors Republicans long term. They’ll be back, and in greater number, in '28 or '30.
