Rep. Al Green of Texas is once again moving forward with an impeachment effort against President Donald Trump, declaring that he intends to bring the matter to the House floor this week and framing the move as a defining measure of where his party stands.

Green issued a firm promise about the timing of his plan, saying, “There will be articles of impeachment filed before the Dec. 25th break. This, I pledge. We have to participate. This is a participatory democracy. The impeachment requires the hands and the guidance of all of us.” His comments underscored his insistence that Democrats must take concrete action rather than rely on rhetoric alone.

By submitting the resolution as a privileged motion, Green is forcing the chamber to address the matter within two legislative days. Lawmakers may choose to table the effort before it reaches an actual impeachment vote, but they will not be able to ignore it. Green also announced that he and other activists would be taking their message public with a peaceful gathering at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday.

This marks Green’s fifth attempt to introduce articles of impeachment, a campaign that comes amid deep frustration from portions of the Democrat base about how to confront Trump. Progressive activists have frequently criticized their own party’s leadership, especially in the wake of the 43-day government shutdown that ended without significant concessions from Republicans. Even prior to the shutdown, figures such as Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner urged the party to replace its congressional leadership to present stronger opposition.

At Thursday’s press conference, Dave Mytych of FLARE — For Liberation and Resistance Everywhere — openly rebuked top Democrats, pressing them to show backbone. “This is what the American people want. They want fighters that hold the line. Democrats, are you listening? Leader Schumer, are you listening? Leader Jeffries, are you listening?” he said while standing beside Green.

The House has already impeached Trump twice — once in 2019 and again in 2021. In both instances, the Senate declined to convict. With that history in mind, Green was asked whether another failed impeachment attempt could reflect poorly on leaders like Jeffries and Schumer if they decline to support it. He avoided addressing their political standing directly, noting instead that as many as 80 lawmakers have backed his efforts in the past.

Green maintained that his motivation is rooted in constitutional duty, stating, “Here’s my perspective. I believe in the Constitution. People who vote to table the articles are voting against impeachment.”

Iran’s leadership is sounding an alarm over the country’s deepening environmental crisis, with President Masoud Pezeshkian declaring that the capital can no longer remain in Tehran. His remarks, delivered during a visit to Qazvin, reflected an unusually blunt assessment of the danger facing the nation.

Pezeshkian explained that the idea of relocating the capital has been discussed before, but the state lacked the funds to pursue it. “When we said we must move the capital, we did not even have enough budget. If we had, maybe it would have been done. The reality is that we no longer have a choice; it is an obligation,” he said, underscoring how urgent the situation has become.

The president pointed to severe land subsidence in parts of Tehran—up to 30 centimeters each year—as well as rapidly declining access to water. He described the condition bluntly, warning, “This means disaster.” According to him, years of mismanagement, unchecked development, and significant reductions in water flow have pushed the region toward potentially irreversible harm.

He cautioned that without immediate intervention, Iran faces something far worse than an inconvenience. “Protecting the environment is not a joke. Ignoring it means signing our own destruction,” Pezeshkian emphasized, painting a bleak picture of what lies ahead if the government remains idle.

Reports indicate that Iran’s long-term plan involves transferring the capital to Makran, located on the southern coast near the Gulf of Oman. The area’s access to the Indian Ocean offers possibilities for new economic and infrastructure development, including maritime projects. However, experts argue that the region is far from prepared to absorb the full weight of a national capital. Its underdeveloped state, lack of major services, and the immense cost of such a move have stalled the plan for years.

President Donald Trump was reportedly left off the list of those invited to Dick Cheney’s funeral in Washington, DC, a detail first highlighted by Axios. CNN also cited a source saying that Vice President JD Vance did not receive an invitation either.

Cheney’s family announced earlier this month that the longtime vice president passed away at 84, succumbing to complications from pneumonia along with cardiac and vascular disease, as reported by Breitbart News.

Axios explained that “Sitting presidents typically attend the funerals of former presidents and vice presidents, but the George W. Bush administration VP’s previous support for Trump soured after the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot, and he publicly criticized the GOP leader in a 2022 campaign ad for his daughter, then-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY).” Cheney’s turn against Trump, the outlet noted, has lingered in the political atmosphere ever since.

CNN added that its source confirmed Vance’s exclusion from the invitation-only ceremony. Approximately 1,000 attendees were expected to fill Washington’s National Cathedral for the memorial.

Coverage of the preparations noted that former presidents George W. Bush and Joe Biden planned to attend. Former vice presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore, and Dan Quayle were also listed among those scheduled to appear, alongside Supreme Court justices such as Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Elena Kagan. Cabinet officials from multiple administrations and congressional leaders from both parties were likewise set to be present.

Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi was anticipated to be in attendance, as were Senate Majority Leader John Thune and former Senate leader Mitch McConnell.

When paying tribute to his longtime partner in office, Bush described Cheney as a “calm and steady presence” and “among the finest public servants of his generation,” according to a November 4 Breitbart News report.

Breitbart further recalled that the defining chapter of Cheney’s public life came during the post-9/11 era under the Bush administration. The War on Terror shaped both his legacy and the fierce criticism he drew from the Left, which viewed him as the architect of endless conflict. Over time, Republican voters increasingly grew skeptical of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as well, dimming Cheney’s standing within the party. The tension between Cheney loyalists and the ascendant Trump-aligned wing of the GOP became unmistakable.

The family’s choice to exclude the current Republican president and vice president served as another illustration of the widening gulf between the old establishment and the current MAGA-driven movement.

Following his 2024 reelection, Trump blasted Democrats for courting the Cheney family. Breitbart News noted his reaction, including a Truth Social post in which Trump wrote, “The Democrats made a BIG mistake in getting Crazy Liz Chaney, and her father, Dick, involved in their campaign for President. It made the Republicans angry, and the Democrats just plain scratching their heads in amazement. It is always a bad idea to bring ‘losers’into [sic] a political campaign!”

NANCY PELOSI: Donald Trump is the worst president of the United States that American children have ever had in terms of their health, education, a clean, safe environment in which they can thrive, including safety from gun violence, the economic security of their families and a future that is fair and just.

Education Sec. Linda McMahon: A chorus of anti-Trump voices have come out of the woodwork to complain that we are defunding education, harming students, or acting without a plan. This could not be further from the truth.

WH PRESS SECRETARY KAROLINE LEAVITT: The Democrats’ reckless 43 day government shutdown did manage to do one valuable thing: It proved that America does not need a federal Department of Education.

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rabbanit Lela Sarah Turgeman a”h at the age of 98. Her levayah will take place tonight in Yerushalayim.

Rebbetzin Turgeman passed away peacefully at Hadassah Har HaTzofim Hospital, closing a chapter of nearly a century marked by holiness, kindness, and quiet strength.

She was born in Morocco to her illustrious parents, the famed mekubal and spiritual giant Rav Yisrael Abuchatzeira, the Baba Sali, and her mother, Rabbanit Percha a”h of the Amsallem family.

In her youth, she married her husband, Rav Yaakov Turgeman zt”l, who predeceased her more than forty years ago.

Rebbetzin Turgeman was remembered as an exceptional woman of noble character, whose long life reflected the purity and steadfastness of the women of the Abuchatzeira dynasty across generations. After the passing of her sister-in-law, the wife of her brother Baba Meir zt”l, she lovingly raised and tended to the children of Baba Meir, nurturing the next generation of the Abuchatzeira lineage.

She merited to raise a distinguished family. Her sons include Rav Yechiel Yosef Turgeman, Rosh Yeshivas Ner Yisrael in Elad, and Rav Moshe Turgeman, head of the Zarcha HaShemesh L’Yaakov mosdos in Netanya. Her daughters married into the Hasson and Biton families. She was also connected through marriage with the Abuchatzeira family, including the late Rav Elazar Abuchatzeira of Be’er Sheva.

Her surviving siblings include her brother, Rav Baruch Abuchatzeira of Netivot, and her sisters, Rebbetzin Avigail Busu and Rebbetzin Penina Yehudioff.

The levayah will take place tonight at 11 p.m. in Yerushalayim.

Yehi zichrah boruch.
