Democrats Seeking to Hold ‘Shadow Hearings’ to Plan for Impeaching Trump on Day 1 If They Take the House
Red State ^ | 24 Apr, 2026 | Rusty Weiss

Democrats, anticipating winning back control of the House of Representatives following the midterm elections, are already plotting how best to serve the American people.

Just kidding. They're already hashing out a plan to engage in their favorite pastime — impeaching President Trump.

House Democrats are reportedly pushing to build a case for impeachment. And building that case includes launching “shadow hearings” in preparation for the big day.

Man, the resistance party has certainly turned into a single-issue party. Imagine how intellectually challenged and totally void of morals you have to be to make that single issue 'get Trump.' They have absolutely nothing to offer the American people.

According to Axios, a "cohort of resistance-minded House Democrats" has banded together to urge their party leaders to start prepping for impeachment proceedings on day one. Superheroes, no doubt, to the blue-haired, pink hat-wearing set.

Kind of like the Avengers, if the Avengers didn't realize they were the bad guys. And their superpowers were being cringe. And if the super soldier serum was actually estrogen. But, I digress.

Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez (IL-3) gave the game away a little bit in her conversations with the outlet.

"This is something that I keep saying to our leadership ... we need to have a very concrete, coordinated strategy," she said.

Ramirez added that her colleagues need to "build up the case so that when we are in power in January, we've created the conditions ... we've done the fact-checking, we've done the shadow hearings, everything we need to be able to impeach [Trump]."

Got that? She wants her party to spend the next nine months—not trying to better the lives of her constituents, to lower costs for Americans, to cut taxes, to keep the border secure and reduce crime—but rather, prepping an impeachment effort that will serve more as theater than as an accomplishment. There is a zero percent chance they'll get a two-thirds majority in the Senate, even on the off chance that they gain a small advantage in that chamber as well.

Democrat Rep. Yassamin Ansari (AZ-3) concurred, telling Axios that "the push for impeachment is going to be overwhelming" if the Republicans lose the House.

Rep. Shri Thanedar (MI-13) and that gopher living on his head echoed Ramirez, saying, "We have a case — a very strong case — so we should really work on it now."....SNIP

That should satisfy their sweet tooth. Hopefully it keeps them busy enough to keep their intentions of legislation on the back burner.

They have many options. The Democrats will just follow in the steps of Stalin’s secret police chief:

Well the third assassination attempt fizzed out, so might as well trying impeachment again.

The democrat party used to be a little lefty, but did support labor and there were blue dog types that were a little sane. But what’s going on in the rat party now is pure unAmerican.

They want a totalitarian government where there is one party rule and they want to make laws so the average person is in misery. And they will attain this power any way possible, to include anything illegal or violent. They are communists, plain pure and simple.

The Democrat Party hates democracy.

What will impeaching Trump achieve, except to highlight their previous fraud on the topic and their utter Trump derangement syndrome?

I can’t see how Democrats benefit from doing this.

Will any sensible Democrats be able to talk them off the ledge?

GOP ought to man-up and on Day one submit their own bills. On asinine issues that will enrage DNC and make mockery of any from the DNC.

1. for defending America
2. for decreasing fraud
etc

It’s actually not a bad strategy from their point of view. It will energize the Democrat base. And it will give the mainstream media just another way to attack Trump.

This is a good time for MAGAs to do a REAL JaySix on the evil Democrat asses. If they do, I’ll be there even if I have to walk. I’ll personally piss on King Kakeem’s Golden Crown.

All for show — virtue signaling for their rabid base. Need 2/3 to convict in the Senate. Not ever happening, and they know it. All these ridiculous proceedings will do is help the GOP in ‘28, so let em knock themselves out.

Where is the condemnation of the assassination attempts agains the President, from the Democrat Leaders in Congress? Schumer? Jeffries? Please write your Congressman and Senators and demand that they confront the Democrats for their treason.

Let’em impeach Trump, in fact let them repeatedly impeach him, if the Republicans get run out of office for being ineffective, the Democrats will pay a price in 2028 for doing nothing but being anti-Trump.
