US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi displays the signed article of impeachment against President Donald Trump in an engrossment ceremony before transmission to the Senate for trial on Capitol Hill, in Washington
DONALD TRUMP became on Wednesday the first US president in history to be impeached twice as the House of Representatives heard calls for the dismissal of “the white supremacist-in-chief.”
Democrat Cori Bush, a member of the so-called Squad of progressive legislators, was booed by Republicans as she made her speech during a stormy debate on impeachment.
“If we fail to remove a white supremacist president who incited a white supremacist insurrection, it’s communities like Missouri’s first district that suffer the most,” she said.
Trade unions and community groups are mobilising to push back against Trump’s racist raids after new revelations of spying on legal protesters. MARK GRUENBERG reports from the US state of Minnesota
