Per usual
Impeachment #3 is a real gem. It specifies "high misdemeanors" consisting entirely of mean tweets. Can't wait to see how many votes this one gets.

*95* clowns voted to move forward with this impeachment resolution for these "high misdemeanors."

The Democratic impeachment effort is gaining steam. First time it got got 58 votes. Second 66. Now 95.

(The impeachment resolutions themselves just get more ridiculous.)
And here's the list.

95 Democrats voted to move forward ("nay" on tabling) with impeaching President Trump for the "high misdemeanor" of mean tweeting.
clerk.house.gov/evs/2019/roll4…
In effect, 40% of House Democrats voted to impeach President Trump for the high crime of insulting The Squad.
So when is @RepAlGreen taking another impeachment resolution to the floor?
95 Dems voted to impeach over mean squad tweets. So it has to be 200+ for the latest uproar, right?
Impeachment #1: 58 Dems voted to impeach for "high crime" of dissing NFL anthem protests

Impeachment #2: 66 Dems voted for "high crime" of saying s-hole countries

Impeachment #3: 95 Dems voted for "high crime" of insulting The Squad

Super serious impeachment #4 coming soon.
Duh, they impeach anyway. I mean, look at their previous "high crimes."
Just two months ago, 95 House Democrats voted to impeach President Trump, against Pelosi's wishes, for the sole High Crime of insulting The Squad.

I'm pretty sure they don't need a pretext of any legitimacy to get to 218+ once Pelosi says go.
Ahem.
Your periodic reminder: 95 House Democrats (40% of all House Democrats) voted in July to advance impeachment of President Trump for the high crime of tweeting mean things about The Squad.
Why bother with all this orchestrated whistleblower BS when Nancy could just let Al Green write crazy impeachment #4 and go ahead and pass it?

DC circuit upheld repeal of Obama public utility Internet order (yay) but struck down preemption of the states (boo).

Dangerous if not reversed on appeal or fixed by Congress to let states cripple interstate commerce via Internet regulations.
The big news:

@AjitPaiFCC repeal of Obama's public utility Internet order (Title II) was UPHELD. 👏

The restoration of a lightly regulated, free-market approach was LEGAL. 👏

The new transparency rule is LEGAL. 👏

(And the FCC has options to restore pre-emption.)

#WINNING
Good clarification!

We're at the part where the Dem/media coup plotters try to cast investigation of their own misdeeds as a new pretext for impeachment
Investigating our false collusion accusations is collusion!!!
or more precisely, as an astute friend notes, we're back to "Trump defending himself from the false charges of obstruction that we published is obstruction"

Dems/media are sticking with the op as originally planned no matter what
They are literally rolling out the op as planned and just ignoring that the president released the transcript.
"Wait, how can we claim a coverup when he released the transcript?"

"LOL media is on board. Reality doesn't matter."

Vigorous #impeachment discussion yesterday between polls and elections expert @NateSilver538 (con) and former Harry Reid person @AJentleson (pro). The subject is worth a thread.
2. As with most issues before Congress, substance and politics are closely related but distinguishable. As to substance, the argument -- persuasive to me -- is that obstruction of justice, contacts with Russians seeking to influence a US election, corruption and the rest...
3...will do mortal damage to American democracy if tolerated. Not proceeding toward impeachment proceedings means tolerating all of these things, though it is possible to deceive oneself on that point. The political argument @NateSilver538 makes is about American voters.

Impeachment and the Senate. How I see it.
Reminder: I am not an attorney and have not been trained in law.
Nobody has told me yet that I'm factually wrong. Just "the Senate Won't Convict™"
Yeah, I got that.
Didja happen to see Adam Schiff's "You may think it's OK" speech?
If not, I heartily recommend it. Here's a link. Watch the Republicans while he's speaking. View from the start for full effect.

One of the precedents for @realDonaldTrump's plan to shut down the southern border comes from, you guessed it, President Richard Nixon. /1
In September 1969, the Nixon administration essentially shutdown the border to stem the flow of marijuana into the country. The plan was called “Operation Intercept.” /2
This was part of President Nixon’s “law and order” campaign to secure the support of the “Silent Majority” who didn’t agree with the counter-cultural direction of the 1960s. /3

Per statement this morning, McConnell is moving ahead towards a vote on one of Trump's most controversial judicial nominees to date, Thomas Farr. This is going to force a showdown with Sen. Flake, who has vowed not to vote for nominees until a Mueller bill is brought to the floor
The Senate is now voting on cloture for Thomas Farr, you can watch here: c-span.org/video/?454699-… On his nomination: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil… On the controversy: washingtonpost.com/politics/gillu…
Sen. Flake has voted no on cloture for Thomas Farr, which will make for a 50-50 vote assuming all other Republicans vote yes and all Democrats/Independents vote no. VP Pence would need to break the tie

Many of the #youthvote kids that I've talked to are primarily concerned with 3 things, Trump, Climate Change & Gun Control. Don't tell me they aren't voting this year. My impression is that they sure are! #ElectionDay #Vote #TuesdayThoughts

2/"Young people historically vote at lower rates, typically, than other age groups, and that has been especially true of the midterms. But this year, registration for younger voters is up substantially, with some studies anticipating the highest youth turnout in decades.
3/"We wanted to know what issues are motivating young people at such impressive rates this year, so we asked. In just a few days we had more than 800 passionate, sharp and often surprising responses. The respondents frequently mentioned climate change, no matter their party
