The firings of multiple Inspectors General is unprecedented; doing so
without good cause chills the independence essential to their purpose. It is a threat to accountable democracy and a fissure in the constitutional balance of power.

One month ago today, Trump said "when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

As of today, the US, with 81,782 confirmed cases, has more total cases than any country in the world.

NEW: After assuring the public about the government's coronavirus preparedness, Senate Intel chair Richard Burr, in one day, sold off up to $1.6 million is stock.

A week later, the market began its fall.

His committee was receiving daily briefings.

We’ve had many terrible attorneys general in recent decades, but Bill Barr represents a unique awfulness. He wholly endorses the surveillance state, promotes executive supremacy, repeatedly undermines the Rule of Law, and clearly views his role as that of a political operative.

When the sentence the government seeks for a crime depends on the defendant's friendship with the president, there's one word to describe it:

Corrupt.

The Des Moines Register pushes for witnesses & on #SenJoniErnst says “Some Iowans watching her daily commentaries to reporters as ...may question her allegiance to the U.S. Constitution and the integrity of the U.S. Senate.” #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/H7zMdLyx1p

Reminder that as this crisis escalates, we have no Director of National Intelligence, no Dep Dir, no Homeland Security Secretary, no Dep Sec, no head of CBP or ICE, no State Dept Under Sec of Arms Control, no Asst Sec for Europe, and no Navy Sec.

This is simple. Keep it simple.

The White House released security assistance to Ukraine only after Congress started asking questions. Why? Considering that Bolton, Giuliani, Mulvaney, and others may have pertinent first-hand testimony, why won’t President Trump let them testify?

This can’t be retweeted enough.

In Syria (and in Ukraine), Trump basically switched which side we were on in a war. He switched us to the Russian side. Counter to America’s interest, over and over, he does what’s best for Russia. (1/x)

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

This is simple.

It’s not about the whistleblower or the complaint.

It’s not about Democrats. Or me.

It’s about a damning call in which the President pressured a foreign power to investigate a political rival, harming national security.

It’s about our democracy.

A history lesson for people who think that history doesn't matter:
What's the big deal about railroad tracks?
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used?
Well, because that's the way

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

It’s not about the transcript of a call. Don’t let President Trump or Republican officials distract you with a straw man. It’s about his continuing abuse of the office of the presidency.

[Tim O'Brien @TimOBrien]

The CRAZY INVERTED YIELD CURVE is a financial reality Trump is too unsophisticated to grasp. Debt markets are pessimistic about the future and not because of the Fed’s cut (which would normally stimulate the economy). Potus’ trade war and softer corporate earnings are the worries

Russia-linked Twitter accounts have been spreading videos of confrontations between white people and minorities to stoke racial tensions in America, according to Clemson University researchers. (1/6) https://t.co/rOB8LBmuei
