6. I "shout" because DU will claim Democrats are "doing nothing"

Right now, they have versions of Impeachment Articles drafted.

They can introduce one as a "privileged motion" forcing Mikie to act on it within (I think) 3 days. Then when it comes time for a vote, some douchebag GOPer will file a "motion to table" and their zombies (and probably some of our own zombies) will vote to kill it.

But by doing these "public actions", it fulfills another DU "demand" that we "pound the podium and stomp our feet" so that we get some kind of news coverage about the issue (and that puts pressure on those swing state GOPers to make a decision).

(P.S. sorry for yelling - we are all living through some stressful times, some of it due to knowing whole swaths of people thought they "knew better" when they refused to support Harris/Walz for the election, and now we are all suffering)
