Impeachment: An Historic Day
At each step in the impeachment saga, President Trump’s defense has shifted as prior ones fell apart. At first, Democrats were dragging things out. Now they’re moving too quickly.

Trump’s Letter To Pelosi
Trump’s letter to Pelosi is like his tweets put to letterhead. He makes his regular false claims (the Electoral College result; cost of the Mueller probe; energy production; etc.), uses exclamation marks, and accuses Pelosi of lying about praying for him. You can tell that the first draft was written by a normal person. Then Trump read it, but notes … Read More

Will The Impeachment Trial Be Rigged?
It looks like McConnell, who already said he is coordinating with the White House, is prepared to make the Senate trial of President Trump move straight to a vote to acquit. Mitch McConnell: Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with White House Counsel. There will be no difference between the President’s position and our position as to how to … Read More
Questions Republicans Don’t Want Answered
It would seem that one principled, serious move which could significantly reduce the partisanship and restore some semblance of dignity and truth-finding to the constitutional process would be for a group of Senate Republicans to join Democrats in demanding that they hear from witnesses and see documents that would answer certain questions, including: If Trump cared about corruption in Ukraine, … Read More
Breaking: House Judiciary Approves Articles Of Impeachment
After two days of “debate” (i.e., canned speeches on the left, faux outrage on the right), the House Judiciary Committee has voted to approve the two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.

Why Move Fast On Impeachment? Because The 2020 Election Rigging Has Already Begun
Greg Sargent: One of the strongest arguments made by experts testifying against President Trump is that he poses a present and continuing threat to our democracy. By adopting the stance that extorting a foreign leader into helping him rig the election was perfectly fine, Trump has confirmed he’ll keep using the levers of government to continue to corrupt it on his behalf. … Read More
