    the new thing here is that not from the progressive caucus but an establishment democrat:

    In 2025, Larson rejected calls to step aside amidst “generational change” and concerns over his age while facing multiple serious primary challengers after suffering a complex partial seizure on the House floor in February.

    For the first time since 1999, Larson faces serious Democratic challengers [for 2026].

      There’s speculation that he introduced the impeachment articles because he is losing his base at home, as he has a primary challenger. So the possibility is that he doesn’t really mean it/care and it’s all optics to appeal to a base he doesn’t give 2 shits about. I’m not going to disparage the representative, we should be attempting to impeach him every day.
