I have worked in government for 30 years now and I am shocked how quickly our systems crumbled under authoritarianism. Many didn't even put up a fight and went straight to the dark side. Trump wins re-election we are done. There is no 2024, this is possibly our last election.

Trump told donors that Soleimani was "saying bad things about our country" before the strike, which led to his decision to authorize his killing. “How much of this shit do we have to listen to? How much are we going to listen to?”

House Managers respond to Trump's filing: "Rather than honestly address the evidence against him, the President's latest filing makes the astounding claim that pressuring Ukraine to interfere in our election ... is the President's way of fighting corruption. It is not."

Dershowitz’s idea is if the US is physically invaded by a foreign enemy, and the President doesn’t do anything about it, Congress has to sit on its hands, watch the occupying force march around pillaging, and wait to refer the matter to the besieged voters in the next election.

@VP Mike Pence’s recent piece in the @WSJ , “A Partisan Impeachment, a Profile in Courage,” is a total perversion of JFK's legacy and the meaning of courage. As Kennedy's grandson, and a member of the Profiles in Courage Award Committee, I took special interest. THREAD
.@VP draws upon JFK’s book PROFILES IN COURAGE and the example of Edmund G. Ross, a Republican Senator who broke with his party to oppose the impeachment of President Johnson in 1865.— Jack Schlossberg (@JBKSchlossberg) January 18, 2020
.@realDonaldTrump was impeached because he did the exact opposite -- he put his own interests ahead of our country’s national security and, in the process, broke federal law.— Jack Schlossberg (@JBKSchlossberg) January 18, 2020
I would argue instead that today, as in 1865, political courage might require a Republican Senator to risk his or her own political future by breaking lockstep from the President and agree to hear from witnesses, review the evidence, and put the national interest above their own.— Jack Schlossberg (@JBKSchlossberg) January 18, 2020
