Democrats Are Catching Impeachment Fever
WASHINGTON – Democrats’ impeachment season has begun. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who introduced the resolution, has already had one attempt at impeachment rejected this year and has been introducing impeachment resolutions against the president ever since Trump first took office in 2017. (House Democratic leadership, then led by Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, was similarly suspicious of the first effort to impeach Trump.) If Democrats retake the House in next year’s midterm elections, however, impeachment could be on the table. Democrats would likely write articles of impeachment through a committee process rather than rushing to the floor for a vote, however.

Justice Department Again Fails To Re-Indict New York Attorney General Letitia James
LOADING ERROR LOADINGALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A grand jury declined for a second time to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, refusing to resurrect a mortgage fraud prosecution encouraged by President Donald Trump, according to a person familiar with the matter. It’s another major blow to the Justice Department after the dismissal of earlier charges against James and another longtime Trump foe, former FBI Director James Comey, in a stunning rebuke of the Trump administration’s efforts to prosecute the president’s political opponents. The Justice Department asked a grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, to return an indictment Thursday after a different grand jury in Norfolk last week refused to do so. The allegations related to James’ purchase of modest house in Norfolk, where she has family. The judge dismissed them without prejudice, allowing the Justice Department to try to file the charges again.

Missouri Throws Wrench In Trump’s Redistricting Push
When state Republicans did this, they were following Texas’s lead, where Trump had pressured the state legislature to redraw five congressional districts to be more favorable to the GOP. Meanwhile, a court in Utah forced the state to draw a new safe Democratic seat for the 2026 elections. With Missouri’s map likely suspended for 2026, it appears that the redistricting war has been fought to a draw ― for now. People Not Politicians challenged Hoskins’ decision in the Missouri state court. People Not Politicians would plan to challenge any effort to reject the initiative in court if that happens.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia Released From ICE Detention After Judge's Order
LOADING ERROR LOADINGPHILIPSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from an immigration detention center in Pennsylvania following an order from a federal judge issued Thursday, according to his attorney’s office. His federal suit claims the Trump administration is illegally using the removal process to punish Abrego Garcia for the public embarrassment caused by his deportation. Advertisement“But Costa Rica had never wavered in its commitment to receive Abrego Garcia, just as Abrego Garcia never wavered in his commitment to resettle there,” the judge wrote. Xinis also rejected the government’s argument that she lacked jurisdiction to intervene on a final removal order for Abrego Garcia, because she found no final order had been filed.

Republicans Block Democratic Bill To Extend ACA Tax Credits
The 51-48 vote capped a bitter months-long battle in Congress over health care that included the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Golden seemed optimistic that more Democrats would sign on, but almost all House Democrats are already backing another health care discharge petition by Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). The Jeffries bill would extend the Obamacare subsidies for three years; the Fitzpatrick-Golden bill would extend them for two years with some restrictions. Government funding expires Jan. 30, giving Senate Democrats another leverage point over the issue. A few Senate Republicans have suggested addressing the issue of the ACA tax credits in another partisan reconciliation bill next year.
