Progressive push for Trump's impeachment intensifies before midterms
Progressive activists are gearing up for another swing at President Donald Trump with a fiery impeachment campaign that’s got the political pot boiling over.
As the midterm elections loom, a coalition of advocacy groups like Citizens’ Impeachment, the Removal Coalition, Free Speech for People, Women’s March, and the 50501 Movement is ramping up efforts to push Congress into drafting new articles of impeachment against Trump and senior administration officials over what they call an “illegal and unconstitutional” military strike on Venezuela.
For hardworking taxpayers, this latest political drama could mean more than just headlines—it risks diverting congressional focus from pressing economic issues like inflation or tax relief, potentially stalling critical legislation that impacts their bottom line.
Coalition's Campaign Gains Momentum Fast
This push isn’t new, but it’s getting louder, starting with a joint press release on January 7, 2026, where these groups demanded action against Trump and his team.
They point to a military action in Venezuela as their main grievance, alongside other unauthorized strikes, like those on Iran in June 2025 and repeated bombings in the Caribbean, as outlined by Free Speech for People’s legal team with a hefty list of 25 impeachment grounds.
Meanwhile, over a million folks have signed onto a petition at www.impeachtrumpagain.org, showing that this isn’t just a fringe effort—it’s got some serious public backing.
Walkouts and Resolutions Stir the Pot
Looking ahead, the coalition is organizing a nationwide “Free America Walkout” on January 20, 2026, urging citizens to flood congressional offices with demands for impeachment support.
Back in December 2025, 140 House members backed Rep. Al Green’s (D-TX) impeachment articles focusing on Trump’s alleged threats against Congress and judges—a 77% jump in support from a June 2024 vote, though it was ultimately tabled with some Democrats siding with Republicans.
Other resolutions are in play too, with Citizens’ Impeachment targeting Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi for everything from “tyranny” to obstructing justice over the Epstein Files.
More Officials Under Fire Now
The impeachment fever isn’t stopping at Trump—Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) has articles out against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for allegedly ignoring science, while Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) targets Hegseth over Caribbean strike war crimes claims.
Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) also wants a probe into DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for the supposed misuse of federal funds, showing this progressive agenda is casting a wide net with little regard for due process or distraction costs.
Let’s be real—these accusations are heavy, but piling on every cabinet member risks turning impeachment into a political witch hunt rather than a constitutional safeguard, especially when congressional leadership hasn’t even moved to formalize proceedings.
Trump and GOP Push Back Hard
On January 6, 2026, Trump himself warned GOP lawmakers at a Kennedy Center retreat about the impeachment specter if Democrats snag House control in the midterms, saying, “Will find a reason to impeach me.”
Then there’s the coalition’s dramatic flair, with Hunter Dunn of the 50501 Movement claiming, “This is not hyperbole: Trump represents the single greatest threat to human civilization and the future of life on this planet that the United States has ever produced.” Honestly, comparing a sitting president to the darkest chapters of history feels like a stretch when the focus should be on hard evidence, not hyperbole.
