Some Democrats fume as Kristi Noem impeachment gains steam

Articles of impeachment targeting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem are garnering support from House Democrats at a rapid clip. Not all the party's lawmakers are happy about it. Why it matters: This is by far the most credible impeachment effort of President Trump's second term thus far, but some centrists continue to argue impeachment is a waste of the party's time and energy. "One of the things I dislike about D.C. a lot is the number of messaging items ... People introduce bills that have no hope of any consequential change in peoples' lives," Rep. Adam Gray (D-Calif.) told Axios. Rep. Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.) said it is "quite possible that impeachment could be a distraction."
