@ElizabethDrewOH@jamespmanley Was reflecting on this today. In my mind, the clearest examples of courage in confronting Trump came from Sally Yates and Marie Yovanovitch.
Two brave women.
I just spoke to a distraught US Special Forces soldier who is among the 1000 or so US troops in Syria tonight who is serving alongside the SDF Kurdish forces. It was one of the hardest phone calls I have ever taken.
"I am ashamed for the first time in my career."
Steve Kerr on if he's ever been asked about human rights during his previous trips to China:
"No. Nor has (America's) record of human rights abuses come up either... People in China didn't ask me about, you know, people owning AR-15s and mowing each other down in a mall."
KAFFEE: Did you order the code red?
JESSUP: YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT I DID!!

Sen. Wyden (D-OR) is ranking Dem on Senate Finance Committee. The chair of that committee, Sen. Grassley (R-IA) had received a copy of the whistleblower complaint *back in July,* according to the whistleblower himself.
.@VP Pence in a 10/4/16 debate:
"Now, you all need to know out there, this is
basic stuff. Foreign donors, and certainly foreign governments, cannot
participate in the American political process"
I disagree. You tried to leverage U.S. taxpayer money to compel a foreign government to help you obtain dirt on one of your main electoral opponents in 2020. That is wrong, Mr. President. That you still don't seem to think so is shocking.
Fun with clauses! GOP group’s blast says Rep. Elissa Slotkin faced "100+ folks gathered inside and out holding signs about impeachment saying 'Get over it, he won.’” Which sounds like a lot… except that there were half a dozen protesters outside. 100+ refers to people inside.
BREAKING: Washington hits 97, passing previous hottest October temperature of 96. This is DC's hottest October day in recorded history.
