Don't ask...

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

A sitting senator is attacking an Iraq War veteran with a Purple Heart.

Can the GOP sink any lower?

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

The Republicans are eliciting great testimony… For the Democrats.

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

No kidding...

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

So nice to see that @AriFleischer hasn't changed a bit in all these years...

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

Russia indeed interfered in the 2016 election. It’s a fact. So too did several former Ukrainian government officials who favored Hillary and opposed Trump. These are facts. One does not exclude the other. They are both true.

Love and respect for @alexi Reading this missive tells you everything you need to know about its cretinous author. Also, I had no idea people were being handed "free bees."
Good to know.

[Alexi @alexi]

In the past 24 hours I've been called a n**ger too many times to count; I've been told to go kill myself; told that I should die because everyone hates me; and threatened by countless men who say they'd love to hit me. If you think this is warranted, you're part of the problem.

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

No kidding....

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

Brutal... and I mean that in the nicest way.

[Paul Begala @PaulBegala]

Devin Nunes is going to cut his closing statement short. He has to get that suit back to the costume department at “Guys and Dolls.”

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

Excuse me?

[Kelly O'Donnell @KellyO]

Asked to respond to SONDLAND testimony, @realdonaldtrump in Texas: "I think it was fantastic. I think they have to end it now...Its a hoax, its a disgrace its an embarrassment to our country...now only did we win today, its over."

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

Love Elie. But no one in that chamber seems capable of prepping a soundbite and playing it in sync. Please call some high school A-V kids in to help!

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Lol, @JoaquinCastrotx just straight up played Mick Mulvaney's confession in his question to Sondland. Well played, bearded one.

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

Ha

[Khary Penebaker @kharyp]

I wonder how many times Trump's lawyers made him delete the tweet "Snitches get stitches" as he watched the #sondlandtestimony

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

Can't wait for the line of questioning about this to Sondland.

[NPR Politics @nprpolitics]

Vice President Pence’s chief of staff disputes Ambassador Gordon Sondland's testimony, saying Pence "never had a conversation with Gordon Sondland about investigating the Bidens, Burisma, or the conditional release of financial aid to Ukraine based upon potential investigations."

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

I just asked @DevinNunes, “what do you think so far? You said there was no quid pro quo. Sondland said there was?”

He shot me an intense look and said nothing.

[David Cicilline @davidcicilline]

The President is going to go through some things this morning.

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

Ha!

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

Hey, that's crazy talk...

[Jonathan Tamari @JonathanTamari]

Ahead of Sondland testimony tomorrow, I've had this crazy thought that maybe presidents should all consider giving ambassador jobs to foreign policy professionals, instead of rich donors angling for fun gigs in exotic locales.

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

OMG! Beautiful!!!

[Alexa Ura @alexazura]

Texas Tribune pie day featuring my blueberry on top-lemon curd on bottom tart ✨

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

@TODAYshow Jenna Bush Hager seems like a lovely person, but the elephant in the room should be addressed.

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

No words. George W. Bush's daughter is interviewing Kim Kardashian about a well-deserved stay execution for Rodney Reed in TX. Her father oversaw the executions of 152 people with minimal review of each case.

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

This didn't start with Trump. How many of the people who ordered and masterminded the expansive torture policies under George W. Bush were reprimanded in any way? #DoesAnyoneRememberAbuGhraib

[Michael R. Bromwich @mrbromwich]

So it’s official: it’s not just Trump. The GOP has become the party that supports and excuses war crimes. https://t.co/FUFVY0qaEH

[Mary Mapes @realmarymapes]

Too funny!

[Bill Prady ⚛️ Now at 🦋 @billprady]

People seriously arguing Trump isn’t racist remind me of my grandmother who believed Liberace just hadn’t found the right woman.
