The Russian government is a pariah, and the world is finally seeing Putin for what he really is: a small, evil, feral-eyed man. Nations and people around the world must continue to reject Russia's regime and fight for freedom.

⁦@SenMikeLee⁩ This might be a more appropriate situation to use a #captainmoroni analogy, and about this man #zelensky #ukraine https://t.co/Hp9qQP6eHT

We should never assert that a faithful member of the church cannot be a member of a specific political party or vote for a particular candidate. 🙌🏻 #GeneralConference #ldsconf #PresidentOaks

[your calvin will stand between you and ICE @calvinjburke]

@SenMikeLee
Thank you for taking my question on term limits. Props on pronouncing my name correctly.

@gopTODD @RosemaryCard @brianspittler This sounds like such an amazing opportunity! Not gonna lie I’m a little jealous of @RosemaryCard

[Lela Machado @Lela1776]

@gopTODD I think there’s a good point in here that it’s helpful to specify the topic of your concern when you reach out to your Representatives and Senators. They are busy and have a lot of bills to keep up with...But that maaaaybe wasn’t the best way to say it.

@SenatorRomney Thank you for your integrity.

[Lela Machado @Lela1776]

@SenMikeLee You missed the rest of the quote: “I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire”
The rebuttal: “my allegiance is to the Republic, to Democracy!”
You may want to reconsider your position against democracy.

I don’t know how Senate Republicans can sit through @RepJoeNeguse’s speech and not be moved.

@EvanMcMullin To quote a #hamiltonmusical lyric “If there’s a fire you’re trying to douse...
You can’t put it out from inside the house”. A new party is the only way out of this mess. #ImpeachmentTrial

[Lela Machado @Lela1776]

Anyone else think of “Sit down John” from 1776 the Musical when @SenMikeLee objected again?

[Lela Machado @Lela1776]

@HotBeefTea You are most welcome :)

[Lela Machado @Lela1776]

@HotBeefTea This is a legislative proceeding, not a judicial one. The same rules don’t apply.

[Herb Scribner @HerbScribner]

Trump. Was. Impeached. While. He. Was. In. Office.

[Lela Machado @Lela1776]

How many times do we need to say this is not a judicial trial, it’s a constitutional process and judicial rules do not apply.

I’m not sure how they think showing this full video is not making the case of the prosecution?

[Sam refuses to support Elon's hate-filled platform @MsSamAdams]

Reminder: Court rules have absolutely NOTHING to do with impeachment rules. It's like saying the House Managers did something wrong, because no one said "Simon Says."

Anyone else feel like they are using multiple definitions for the word “reported” or “reportedly”?

[Lela Machado @Lela1776]

The defense team is making a good point that everyone should calm down their political rhetoric. I don’t think that excuses the President’s actions though. #ImpeachmentTrial
