Republican Speaker Mike Johnson said Democrats would impeach Trump a third time with majority – and the implications of this statement are, frankly, quite loaded. It’s not just a simple prediction; it’s an acknowledgement of potential wrongdoing, a political calculation, and a stark commentary on the current state of American governance. Johnson, by making this claim, is essentially admitting that there’s a distinct possibility of further impeachable offenses if the balance of power shifts. The fact that he’s willing to vocalize this speaks volumes.
Think about it: why would Johnson make such a statement if he didn’t believe there was a foundation for future impeachment proceedings?… Continue reading

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History quietly removed mentions of Donald Trump’s two impeachments from its “American Presidency” exhibit, reverting to its pre-2008 version. This decision, which now only references impeachments of Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton, allegedly came after pressure from the Trump White House. Critics online and in the media quickly condemned the move, calling it “Orwellian” and accusing the museum of bowing to political influence. The Smithsonian cited a need to update the section, but the omission, combined with Trump’s recent actions reshaping national organizations, fueled accusations of historical revisionism.

The Smithsonian Institution announced plans to restore information about Donald Trump’s two impeachments to the National Museum of American History exhibit in the coming weeks. This follows the removal of a placard detailing Trump’s impeachments in July, which reverted the exhibit to its 2008 format. The Smithsonian stated the removal was due to a review of “legacy content” and that the placard did not meet museum standards, despite having been displayed since September 2021. While Trump attempted to exert influence over cultural institutions, the Smithsonian maintains the removal was not due to external pressure, and the updated section will reflect all impeachment proceedings in U.S. history.

The Smithsonian stated a future exhibit will include all impeachments and that updating the current display would take time and funding.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, advocating for impeachment, faced backlash from the former president, further highlighting the ideological divides within the Democratic Party.
