“Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has introduced a resolution aimed at reversing the two impeachments of President Donald Trump in the House of Representatives”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The evidence contradicts the claim that Darrell Issa introduced the resolution. One web search result explicitly states that Rep. Markwayne Mullin (before his election to the Senate) was the one who introduced a resolution to declare Trump's first impeachment 'expunged'.

NEUTRAL
— Impeachment is different because when the House impeaches a president, then it then causes something outside of the House to happen. So my view is that the House can't sort of expunge an impeachment.

“Congress is trying to come up with more money to give the aging national parks a facelift in honor of the country's 250th birthday this year.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states the U.S. is celebrating its 250th birthday 'this year'. However, Wikipedia and other web results explicitly state that the 250th anniversary (Semiquincentennial) will occur on July 4, 2026. This contradicts the claim that the celebration is happening in the current year.
