Al Green Seeks Impeachment; GOP Eyes Tax Cuts

Democratic Congressman Al Green has announced his intention to introduce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump following Trump's suggestion that the U.S. should take over the Gaza Strip during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Critics, including Green, have condemned Trump's proposal as ethnic cleansing. While Green has been vocal in his opposition, the move is not widely supported within the Democratic caucus, with leaders indicating that impeachment is not their immediate focus. This initiative by Green reflects broader Democratic pushback against the early policies of Trump's second term. Meanwhile, House Republicans are contemplating short-term tax cuts to satisfy budget hardliners, and discussions continue about the fiscal impact and potential economic growth from such cuts. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the cost of extending existing tax cuts at $4.6 trillion, though Republicans dispute this figure, citing historical economic growth from tax reductions.
