Ok. I voted for Obama in '08 b/c unlike HRC, Obama didn't vote for the Iraq war resolution. But it is 2019 now & I DON'T CARE any more who voted for what in 2003. Lots of Dems screwed up then. But it was sixteen years ago. & I kind of think they learned their lesson.

Next please.
I had this horrible premonition just now of this Ukraine thing setting up Biden’s primary win and subsequent loss and while I still think he’s going to lose I’m not going to sleep well until he does

So now it turns out that Trump ordered a holdup of $391 million in arms assistance to Ukraine just days before the call to Ukraine’s president in which he repeatedly pressed for Ukraine to prosecute Biden’s son. Even if no express quid pro quo, this is impeachable per se.

U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey - who's one of the best Dem Caucus team players among Texas Dems - is now in for an impeachment inquiry. It's a cascade coming out of Texas now. pic.twitter.com/9AQ33eyTKg

"We should beware that rushing into an impeachment may do long-term harm to the presidency and our national security," writes John Yoo https://t.co/UdzRitGHJR

At beginning of call, Trump tells Ukrainian president "the United States has been very very good to Ukraine." The next time he speaks, he trashes Mueller, asks for "a favor" & encourages Ukrainians to speak with Barr & Giuliani about probes. They agree. https://t.co/ZZFxcdCkjj

Trump’s MO is that he just makes shit up. It’s the Big Lie approach to politics.

Trump seems unable to grasp the difference between pressuring foreign leaders to do things that are in the interest of the United States, versus pressuring foreign leaders to do things that are solely in his personal interest. Q: evil? or just a complete idiot?

The rule of law isn't an abstract idea – indeed, it is the very foundation of our democracy. And it is the very tool that has allowed the civil & human rights movement to successfully fight discrimination, ensure opportunity & inclusion, and push for justice.

By his own admission, President Trump tried to extort a foreign government to target a political opponent and boost his reelection campaign. This latest allegation proves, once again, that nothing short of our democracy and rule of law are at stake.

What we do next as a nation matters. It matters to our families and to our children – who are working to create and preserve healthy, thriving communities.

As history teaches us, our democracy cannot protect itself. We must protect it – especially from our own leaders when they violate their sworn oath to our nation.

The American people must have confidence that our elections are free from foreign influence. We must have faith in the enduring promise of equal justice under law.
— Vanita Gupta (@vanitaguptaCR) September 25, 2019
And we must be reassured that our Constitution is more than a symbol for the rule of law – but a real mechanism to achieve justice.

For this reason, @civilrightsorg supports the House impeachment inquiry.

It isn’t enough to say that ‘no one is above the law.’
Only our actions make it so.

Dear GOP, why are you standing by a man who has repeatedly shown himself to be a criminal who cares far more about making money than about national security? How does this help the Republican Party or the nation? This is not the guy you want to align with.

Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called “Whistleblower,” represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way. Then Schiff made up what I actually said by lying to Congress......
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 29, 2019
His lies were made in perhaps the most blatant and sinister manner ever seen in the great Chamber. He wrote down and read terrible things, then said it was from the mouth of the President of the United States. I want Schiff questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason.....
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 29, 2019
....In addition, I want to meet not only my accuser, who presented SECOND & THIRD HAND INFORMATION, but also the person who illegally gave this information, which was largely incorrect, to the “Whistleblower.” Was this person SPYING on the U.S. President? Big Consequences!
