@ChipmanJamie He passed away on 12-21-19. Why do you ask?

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Trump yelled several times yesterday that all he's interested in is fighting corruption in Ukraine. Why then, is he berating those Ukrainians who exposed Manafort's corruption while Manafort was working for corrupt Ukrainian politicians?

[Lawrence O'Donnell @Lawrence]

When I was working on the Democratic side of the Senate, we were always very welcoming & encouraging to any Republican who took even a half step in our direction.

If @MittRomney gets slammed for not going far enough today, no Republicans will follow him.

[John Kasich @JohnKasich]

.@realdonaldtrump’s contact with China leaves me deeply disturbed especially on top of all the Ukranian developments. All of this demands a full and complete investigation, then let the chips fall where they may.

[Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA]

I’ve never heard of an elected judge sending out a fundraising email saying how he will vote on a case that hasn’t yet been tried. U.S. senators are judges in an impeachment trial and vote guilty/not guilty. Asking for money in connection with that vote is SOLICITING A BRIBE,

China, if you’re listening, you might want to investigate Don Jr, Ivanka & Jared about the money they make in your country. I think you’d be mightily rewarded by our press. . .

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Donald Trump likes to boast about being a businessman. But how long do you think someone acting and talking like him would last as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, or even a shelving clerk at a five and dime store?

[Ken Olin @kenolin1]

The Senate Majority Leader is a Russian Asset.
Let that sink in.
@senatemajldr is a traitor.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I am proud our campaign headquarters is in Rep. Elijah Cummings' district. Baltimore has become home to my team and it's disgraceful the president has chosen to start his morning disparaging this great American city.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Why don't you just use the n-word and get it over with? You're almost there and you clearly want to.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

.@RepCummings is the conscience of our caucus.

When we need moral clarity, he provides it.

When we need direction, he is our guiding light.

He’s a better man than Trump will ever be, and that’s what threatens the President.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I’ve always been proud of what this team accomplished during my administration. But more than what we did, I’m proud of how they’re continuing to fight for an America that’s better. https://t.co/0cfDltjueP

[Elijah E. Cummings @RepCummings]

Mr. President, I go home to my district daily. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors.

It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

When our disgusting president says of Baltimore “No human would want to live there,” he makes me want to wear an “I’m from Baltimore” T-shirt. Even though I was born in Shanghai and grew up in San Francisco. Let’s ALL be “from Baltimore.”

[John Lewis @repjohnlewis]

There is no such thing as an illegal human being. We may have all come here on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Until we hear from Mueller, call it the Barr Report.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

I've covered enough big news stories to know that sometimes the headlines from the first day can evolve considerably as more information comes to light.

[Nick Walden Poublon @NWPinPDX]

Rather than forget how I felt the first few moments after I learned Trump had won, I have kept the queasy disbelief, the feelings of horror & fear I felt.

Why?

Because I’m determined to never feel that way again. To never be that naive. To do even more.

I know I’m not alone.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

For some reason, over the last 24 hours, an old adage has come to mind: Those who live by the crystal ball tend to eat a lot of broken glass.
