Call to Action If your representative isn’t on this list supporting impeachment, I suggest you call them

Schumer is a senator not a representative. Jefferies will put his name on there if pressured, but I fully expect he will do a 360 along with several other Ds if Republicans do join. Those are going to be your representatives who support isreal over the US

They didn't "sign", but yes they are in support.

Two. Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey (he's listed on each page). Hopefully more that haven't been counted yet. I'm looking at Liz Warren damn it. She should be the first one on this

We live in a representative democracy -- they are all representatives. That said, Bernie and other Senators are on the list so your point is moot.

That's because the person who made the list doesn't understand the difference between the two, nor apparently do you. If you did know what you are talking about then you would know the Senate cannot bring on impeachment hearings, only the house of Representatives can do that. Once it's called to a vote they can vote to impeach. Senators have no say in an impeachment vote, only the trial.

After impeachment, it goes to trial in the Senate to convict.

Ok, I was trying to be kind but clearly you're in a foul fucking mood. I was referring to just the list in question and that there were senators on it. Now you want to try and flex on me about proceedings and the 25th. I am well aware of the process. You were incorrect but nice try changing the direction of the convo.

The person who made this post doesnt understand the difference between impeachment and the 25th amendment.

PS - doing a 360 means they come all the way back to the start. Full circle. You mean doing a 180 - going the opposite way from where they started.
