Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to end months of caution on impeachment Tuesday afternoon, launching a formal inquiry aimed at removing President Donald Trump over allegations he withheld aid from Ukraine to pressure that country to launch a corruption inquiry aimed at damaging former Vice President Joe Biden.
All 13 Texas Democrats in Congress support impeachment or are at least open to it, after five holdouts joined the chorus in the hours before her announcement, some more enthusiastic than others.
Texas Republicans remained unified in their opposition to impeachment, even as Democrats around the country lined up to demand impeachment on Tuesday, projecting a sense of unity and momentum.
The first from Texas who hadn't already demanded Trump's ouster was Fort Worth Rep. Marc Veasey, long a holdout, who said he's ready to vote for impeachment immediately.
Four others -- Dallas Reps. Eddie Bernice Johnson and Colin Allred, Laredo Rep. Henry Cuellar, and Houston Rep. Lizzie Fletcher -- said for the first time that they're ready to begin proceedings if the White House refuses to turn over a whistleblower complaint alleging misdeeds by Trump in his dealings with Ukraine, or as other evidence emerges against him.
"If the decision is made by the president and his administration to withhold this information from Congress, or if the allegations of his abuse of power are substantiated, I will be placed in a position where I must fulfill my constitutional duty and support impeachment proceedings," said Johnson, dean of the Texas congressional delegation and chair of the House Science committee.

Geez - the media submerges their viewers in absolute crap and their viewers have quite an appetite for that crap. What a disillusioned and ugly world they bask themselves in.
Wouldn’t surprise me if some were involved with Epstein. They are VERY desperate.
At this point I am wondering why US is not on top in the corruption ratings and also how the State Dept has a nerve to lecture other nations about rule of law.
But we of course know the answer.
If this crap will not result in the end of the Democrat party ...you guess.
I know they are all still screeching impeachment, but aren’t Pervy Uncle Joe and Col Sanders the two front runners? Maybe someone is trying to stone two birds at once and give Bernie a “win”. Just a thought.
Cuellar is the one who crapped in the mess kit here...
“Texas Democrats” is an oxymoron.
Headlines Nov. 4, 2020. “Trump win by landslide: Texas Dems given the heave-ho. Texas stays with Trump big time”.
What a bunch of cowardly shits. Time for them to go to their Marxist mecca, San Francisco and look for a job as an “used congressional politician”.
This will open the way for HRC to take the nomination to run again.
AND LOOSE BIGGLY.
All they are doing is HELPING Trump win in 2020.
Are DemonicRats trying to take over Texas?
Brad Pascale is going to tie every democrat running in every race at every level to Pelosi and these crazies.
Trump’s base, already rabidly ready to vote for him, will only grow.
There will be no “Trump removal from office.” That is dead in the water from jump.
