One year ago today, Donald Trump became only the 3rd President in US History to be Impeached. This was in part by all of you incredible #Resisters who called your Reps & those who were part of organizations like the #ImpeachmentTaskForce.

Even though in the end, Trump was Acquitted he, shall remain #ForeverImpeached. Now with him having been defeated by We The People, let us celebrate the fact we made the attempt back then to hold him accountable & that we proved our organization skills & #PeoplePower...

...which we then used to come together as a broadened #ResistanceCoalition, with some of us even putting country over preferred party, to defeat him in the Election. So once more, I’d like to wish you all a VERY Merry #Impeachmas!

The Senate convenes now to try the President of the United States for impeachable offenses, namely, bribery to subvert the elections, and obstruction. #ImpeachAndRemoveTrump
The Republicans, under Mitch McConnell, will now try to set rules that will ram through a quick moot court without witnesses, in an historic first and a powerful gesture towards dictatorship #ImpeachedForLife
The rules would force the Democrats to present their case for twelve hours at a time and late into the midnight hours. Careful attention has been paid to make the procedure as visually boring as possible #ImpeachmentTrialRules #ImpeachedForLife

Trump's White House wrote emails seeking *retroactive continuity* trying to cover-up their unlawful withholding of US security aid to Ukraine *after* learning of a whistleblower complaint to the CIA's general counsel.

In DC politics, I have heard Mick Mulvaney's after the fact attempts to build a rationale for Trump's decision to withhold Ukrainian security funds called a cover-up (it is) or "covering your ass."
It's an attempt to supply narrative continuity after the fact of the decision.

Retroactive continuity is best known from literature and entertainment plot writing by the term retcon.
Retcon or retconning is a "literary device in which the form or content of a previously established narrative is changed."

The thing about the now routine bombshell Friday news dumps of the Trump era is they always leave open the prospect of history repeating itself with another Saturday Night Massacre. 🙃 motherjones.com/impeachment/20…
The @GOP establishment needs to be prosecuted for defrauding the American people on Trump and Putin’s behalf for the last 4 YEARS. The entire party sits on a throne of lies and every corporate donor who supports them should be boycotted and protested relentlessly.
I’m old enough to remember this moment and I’d still very much like to know why they looked so horrified. The onion isn’t anywhere near finished peeling. rawstory.com/2017/03/senate… via @RawStory #RussianAsset
Is “intense polarization” the new euphemism for fascism and White supremacy? 🧐
I loathe how folk are so gobsmacked about the GOP willfully jumping head first into treason, nullification of coequal checks/balances, and a Constitutional crisis as if the Confederate States of America and the Civil War never happened.
@realDonaldTrump Since #MoscowMitch won’t let the Senate vote on any of the 400+ bills passed by @TeamPelosi, you probably don’t know anything about them

Lie #1 - The Dems want to undo the election.
Reality: #Trump has broken every ethical/legal norm. He is a clear and present danger to the national security of US and needs to be removed.

Lie #2 - The timing is meant to influence the 2020 election.
Reality: The WH is obstructing to make #impeachment as drawn out as possible. Also, the GOP doesn't care AT ALL about Russian influence in 2016.
Lie #3 - The Whistleblower needs to come forward and testify.

Reality: GOP established current whistleblower protections and for good reason. They can, but NEVER have to testify. It's like a person seeing a fire, calling it in, and then the fire dept refusing to put it out until they speak to the caller.

1. “A growing number of Republican senators consider acknowledging Trump’s quid pro quo on Ukraine. In this shift in strategy to defend Trump, these Republicans are insisting that the president’s action was not illegal and does not rise to the level of an impeachable offense” Uh
2. “Energy Secretary Rick Perry expected to testify in impeachment inquiry
Perry, who told Trump he would resign by the end of the year, is expected to testify Wednesday.” A Cabinet member who will quit at the end of the year. Getting close to the big guy.

3. Adam Schiff says “Every Member of Congress will have to answer: is soliciting foreign interference in our elections acceptable? The answer must be no. Americans decide American elections.” Are Republicans American? 3 points h/t @washingtonpost #ImpeachmentTaskForce
