"The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

The measure details how the inquiry will move into a more public phase. It was not a vote on whether the president should be removed from office.

This was the first test of support in the Democratic-controlled House for the impeachment process.

The White House condemned the vote, which passed along party lines.

Only two Democrats - representing districts that Mr Trump won handily in 2016 - voted against the resolution, along with all Republicans, for a total count of 232 in favour and 196 against."

    In the mean time, the economy's growing, to the point that the fed is actually starting to raise a little interest away from 0.

    They were at that point in 2016 but now they've done multiple cuts this year, repo bailouts [newyorkfed.org] and don't call it QE4 while investments and exports are falling. None of this is Trumps fault but at least pay attention.
