House GOP will attempt 2nd impeachment vote for Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas on Tuesday
Republicans are seeking to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to enforce border laws

House Republicans are expected to hold a second vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday, after an initial effort seeking to do so failed last week. He is the first Cabinet secretary to face charges in nearly 150 years.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, has signaled he intends to bring the two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas before the House floor as early as Tuesday evening. These articles were initially filed by the House Homeland Security Committee.

Their passage is far from certain, however, as the GOP holds only a narrow majority in the chamber. While Majority Leader Steve Scalise has returned to the chamber after being away from Washington for cancer care, even one other missing or weather-delayed lawmaker could prevent Republicans from impeaching Mayorkas for a second time.

The chamber's Democratic members staunchly oppose the impeachment effort.

Well there's some time well-spent considering that it is DOA in the Senate.

And where are those 12 individual appropriations bills again?

Incompetence isn't a crime though, and while it may be (and probably is) malicious rather than incompetence, it is hard/impossible to prove it. And it will never pass the Senate.
