Starting a formal #impeachment inquiry is necessary because we have to stop the damage Trump has been doing to our government, to our Constitution, to our democracy.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-hardest-job-for-the-next-president-may-be-fixing-trumps-mess/2019/09/16/e16216fe-d8bf-11e9-ac63-3016711543fe_story.html …

To add to @Eugene_Robinson‘s points, both President Truman and legendary Speaker Sam Rayburn used to say, “A jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a carpenter to build one.”
The work of rebuilding must start with cleansing the Oval Office.
3/ An allegation of trying to use the power of the presidency against another country, in the context of withholding funds that Congress approved, to create dirt on a political opponent – this is incredibly serious and must be investigated.

Let’s be clear: I have been for #impeachment since 2017 – as more and more members have come to see, Trump’s actions have forced our hand.
It is our duty.
A president must be held to a high standard.
The soul of America is at stake.

#Impeachment is not a cause for celebration – it is too serious for anyone from either party to fall back on the usual party politics.
The House, the Senate and the White House ALL have a duty to work for the citizens. It’s not supposed to be the other way around.

Beginning a formal #impeachment investigation is about protecting the Constitution that was written and signed nearly 250 years ago in #Philadelphia.pic.twitter.com/CppjTzF5Nw

.@HouseDemocrats can investigate AND legislate at the same time – we’ve been doing both for over 8 months now.
We can address challenges such as infrastructure, health care, education, gun violence & poverty, regardless of who is in the Oval Office.
The Senate can too.
a formal impeachment inquiry was started like two weeks ago.
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!
