in no world does passing the usmca displace literal impeachment from the headlines lol

The whole USMCA thing sounds like the blue dogs are pushing for it and either Pelosi realizes that without them she lacks the majority on USMCA and thus has to go along with it and try to improve it (in her eyes) as best she can rather than suffer a potentially embarrassing defeat if the original (worse, in her eyes) Trump negotiated deal passes with Rs + Blue Dogs, or she simply agrees with the idea in general and so is going along with it, again, pushing for improvements as much as she can.

This whole narrative that they can't multitask is ridiculous. Ways and Means is the primary subcommittee dealing with USMCA. Intel and Judiciary are handling impeachment.

and the idea that pelosi is letting usmca move forward is because she "doesn't have the votes" on impeachment is ludicrous and anyone who thinks it is even remotely true is in for a shock in the near future

Really, the only extent to which I could buy that they're related at all is maybe there's a few holdouts in the caucus from deep red seats that voted for Trump by like 20+ who have struck a deal with Pelosi that they'll vote for impeachment if she gives them USMCA so they can try to use it as a shield to their constituency. But that is entirely different from Pelosi not having the votes for impeachment. It would be her trying to run up the score and minimize potential defectors.
