The Senate on Wednesday declared both articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas unconstitutional in two separate party-line votes. These articles accused Mayorkas of neglecting his duties at the southern border and breaching public trust.
The first article claimed that Mayorkas had “willfully and systematically refused to comply with the law” regarding the southern border during his tenure as DHS Secretary. The second article alleged that he had violated public trust.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., proposed a point of order to deem the first article unconstitutional. Following Schumer’s proposal, the Senate voted 51-48 to declare it unconstitutional, with Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, voting present.
Schumer’s point of order was introduced after his request for unanimous consent, which would have set a specific time for debate among senators and votes on two GOP resolutions and a set number of agreed-upon points of order, was denied by Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo. Schmitt argued that the Senate should conduct a comprehensive trial into the impeachment articles against Mayorkas, rather than following Schumer’s proposed plan, which would likely result in the dismissal of the articles.
Republican senators opposed Schumer’s point of order, as agreeing to it would effectively nullify the first article. Several GOP lawmakers made motions, including requests to adjourn or table the point of order, but all were unsuccessful.
“This process must not be abused. It must not be short-circuited. History will not judge this moment well,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as he motioned to table Schumer’s point of order.
After further motions to avoid voting on Schumer’s second point of order, which would declare the second article unconstitutional, the Senate agreed to it in a 51-49 vote, with Murkowski rejoining the Republicans.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
