The Republican-controlled House of Representatives can’t agree on anything, and is on the verge of defenestrating Speaker Mike Johnson, but in a rare show of party unity, House Goopers scraped up enough votes yesterday to formally send the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate for trial. Mayorkas is charged with two counts of Doing Bad Things, namely that he has “willfully and systematically” refused to enforce immigration law, at least not as House Republicans see it.

Also, he supposedly committed a “breach of public trust” by saying the US border with Mexico is “secure,” when you can just turn on Fox News and see that there is not a wall reaching to the planet’s ionosphere to keep people out. After all, “secure” only means what Republicans want it to mean.

After the vote Tuesday, the very impressive Impeachment Managers walked the papers over to the Senate, where, the AP reports,

The Senate sergeant-at-arms, the chamber’s top security official, called the session to order with a “hear ye! hear ye!” and a notice that “all persons are commanded to keep silence, on pain of imprisonment.”

The House Homeland Security Committee chairman, Mark Green, a Tennessee Republican who is one of the impeachment managers, read the articles aloud as most senators sat in their seats, following along with their own paper copies.

One of the House impeachment managers is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who somehow managed to make it through the reading of the charges without even once shouting out anything rude, so thank goodness we were spared the spectacle of one of the “prosecutors” getting arrested.

1. Has someone prepared a reverse version of the MAGAt march?

Time to get it queued. It’ll be twice as funny backwards.
