Forwarding that kind of stuff is certainly within your rights, but that doesn’t make it helpful, nor in accordance with consensual reality.

This was the headline on their site right now that I saw as misleading.

It would be the House impeaching Trump, not the "Democrats". Regardless of who in the House votes yay or nay, the House is a legislative body that puts out a decision. It is not a partisan institution, yet it is made up of political parties who were voted in and represent their district. The House is the will of the people.
