July 7, 2026 – The nation’s largest teachers union has approved a policy calling for the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump. That means educators’ union dues are now going to be used for partisan political activism rather than classroom priorities.
Delegates to the annual Representative Assembly of the National Education Association, meeting July 3-7 in Denver, adopted a new business item directing the union to advocate for Trump’s impeachment and removal from office, while also supporting or organizing a national march on Washington before the November 2026 midterm elections.
The proposal also calls on other labor unions and progressive organizations to join what it describes as an effort to “protect democracy and defend public education.”
According to documents circulated during the assembly, the measure carries an estimated cost of $5.24 million beyond the union’s existing budget, with funding coming from member dues.
The action continues the NEA’s long-running opposition to Trump. The union has previously called for his removal.
For Alaska, the vote draws renewed attention to the political activities of NEA-Alaska, the state affiliate representing more than 11,000 public school employees.
NEA-Alaska’s political action committee usually backs Democratic candidates, or liberal Republicans.
At the federal level, the Alaka union has endorsed Mary Peltola in previous elections and currently recommends her US Senate campaign through the national NEA’s Education Votes program.
For Alaska’s at-large US House race, the organization has recommended Bill Hill.
At the state level, recent NEA-Alaska endorsements have included Senators Jesse Bjorkman and Kelly Merrick, and Representatives Chuck Kopp and Louise Stutes, along with Fairbanks candidate Joy Beth Cottle, reflecting the union’s willingness to support liberal Republicans who align with its education agenda. In 2018, the NEA endorsed then-Gov. Bill Walker for reelection. He lost to Gov. Mike Dunleavy but is running again, his fifth run for governor.
Regardless of the resolution’s passage, there is no realistic legislative path for impeachment, unless the Democrats take over the Senate, which is the main goal of Sen. Chuck Schumer and a key reason why the national Democrats are fighting hard for Mary Peltola to flip Alaska’s Senate seat now held by the Real Sen. Dan Sullivan. Impeachment can occur only through action by Congress. The US House of Representatives would first have to approve articles of impeachment by a majority vote, followed by a two-thirds vote in the Senate for conviction and removal.

I do not see the problem. That’s why unions exist, to steal the member’s money through mandatory dues, fines, and other various methods of theft. Marxism is such a wonderful thing. And it can’t be fought once it is operational, such as the union model used today.
I love being on the side of corrupt unions, especially the teacher’s unions.
We appear so educated and honorable.
But I need more donations to assert my left-wing propaganda via my worn out typewriter, and to fight off Trump, Dunleavy, and the Republican machine. My Democrat donors are such tightwads. And my drinking habits always keep my cash reserves depleted. I always accept more alcohol as in-kind donation. 150 proof minimum.
Derm the Mutt.
Still Snorting and Farting with lots of vigor, even though my liver is on its
last legs.
Has Dimwit Coe ever done a days worth of honest work? Anywhere? He only writes one-sided propaganda for the far-left Democrats. And it appears that they are too cheap to keep him satisfied with his alcohol needs. Advanced dementia sets in quickly for old alcoholics. And he repeats himself incessantly.
He’s a seriously angry old man. It comes out in every sentence of his writing. Pathetic. He should have taken writing courses from Suzanne, followed by anger management classes.
Cole needs a liver transplant.
Then, a brain transplant
Cole is an old bag of wind. Mostly farts. Angry farts. BAnd yes, according to his relatives, he drinks A LOT.
Thanks for the chuckle this morning, made my morning!
Same!
Say, what you want, you MAGA morons. The alcohol will get me through my creeping dementia. Works every time.
Derm the Mutt.
Still Farting (big time, and the Clean Air Act can kiss my ass).

> NEA votes to push Trump impeachment
Marxists being marxists.
To all the republicans and neocons. The crap the marxists do is why we built the 2024 winning coalition that you have done so much to destroy since that election. I’m not sure Humpty Dumpty can be put back together, but if God grants us such favor please do what you say you will do, how you say you will do it and in the time you say it will take.
Will you learn if there is a next time? I’m not sure the rightist independents, libertarians and traditionalists will come around. You have burned some serious bridges.
I am completely shocked that they would do such a thing……..
You know it’s bad enough people are stupid to let government continue deducting Social security, Medicare, and unemployment from YOUR earnings. But you are even stupider that you let a union to also deduct from your earnings. All money you earned and time sacrificed from your life for the employer.
As for social security. Medicare, unemployment I’ll tell you that Millennials 36-49 year olds want a pay out of All that was Forcibly taken from us over our working years; while terminating the offices of Social security, Medicare, and Unemployment.
You know there are Americans who are deceased before they could ever collect what was forcibly taken from them
You think that it’s right FDR and Congress agreed government was better suited to handle people’s earnings better than the worker laboring.
It was wrong and immoral. Just like a union deducting dues from workers labor
You’d think an association of educators would know that they need a Constitutional basis to impeach…I guess stirring up rage using other people’s money offers a better adrenaline rush than using reason and logic.
These rage brokers have evolved the ultimate emotionally-addictive-based money fleecing system: dues money is used to rage-fuel support for even more dues money, all the while taking their “cut”. Rage-Rinse-Repeat. They’re a bunch of psychoemotional bookies!
SteveO. There is no shortage of evidence based reasons for impeachment. Starting his little dick war in the Middle East without congressional approval is one. Violations of the emolument clause also and committing war crimes. There’s many more violations unfortunately.
Evan,
It’s OK to admit you also do not know what constitutes impeachable offenses. The Constitution lists treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors as the reasons for impeachment. The President is the Commander in Chief, while Congress has the Constitutionally ability to Declare War it has only formally done so 11 times in our history. One time in the War of 1812, once with Mexico, once with Spain, Germany and Austia-Hungary in WWI, and against Japan, Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Bulgaria during WWII. The Wars Power Act is largely symbolic. You’d of course have to offer something more than a broad sweeping statements that express that you don’t like the guy as you’ve done to try and meet the other high crimes and misdemeanors bar.
“high crimes and misdemeanors” Pretty broad term. Easy to prove Rapist’s crimes could be covered by that term. Shit, ” bribery”? That’s the only chapter in his Presidential Operational Manual. Beats me why you defend this guy. It says to me that you too must be a cheat and a liar.
Funny enough with your response you’ve articulated more cause than the NEA, even though what you’ve offered falls well short of actual cause for impeachment.
Not all teachers are the sharp tools in the shed.
The coalition they are forming to rid themselves of the man in charge of putting pressure on their lack of performance is relying on the few deranged individuals within their cast of desperados who will take matters into their own hands similar to the teacher from California who charged through security in DC with another ignorantly planned assassination attempt during the media gala.
They know they can stir up the pot of losers similar to Charlie Kirks assassin who spent his time in dark websites finding a way to avenge his boyfriend/lover’s psychotic derangement syndrome efforts to transform his sexuality.
I’m okay with teachers unions. I just think its members should not be allowed to have anything to do with our children.
weak. I hear you. Let your Mormon bishop and the pastors and priests teach important lessons like braille anatomy.
Now that is a fair conclusion!
