House to vote on Biden impeachment and Schiff censure
Source: Axios
The House will vote this week on a pair of resolutions impeaching President Biden and censuring Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
Why it matters: Both measures were introduced by members of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus, who have proven increasingly willing to try to force votes that could divide their party.
That was demonstrated last week, when 20 Republicans helped to kill an iteration of the Schiff censure last week that included a $16 million fine.
Driving the news: Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) introduced a privileged motion on Tuesday to force a vote on her two articles of impeachment against Biden.

It's revenge 'impeachment' in response to Trump's appropriate, warranted impeachment.

They're constantly saying "impeach" and never say any reason beyond he's an evil Democrat who had the audacity to win an election.

This is weaponization of government, impeachment as a political weapon just as Republicans weaponized Congressional hearings' to attack political opponents.

Lauren Boebert says she's being 'directed' by 'God' to impeach Biden
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said she was moved by the "spirit of God" to draft impeachment articles against President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Right Wing Watch first reported Boebert's Tuesday interview on the Victory Channel's Flashpoint program. The interview came just hours after Boebert introduced her impeachment effort.
"All glory to God," Boebert explained. "This is grace. This is God's empowerment and His ability and staying grounded, rooted in the Word of God, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."
