California’s largest utility will cut power to about 800,000 of its customers for up to five days, starting just after midnight in the west, in a drastic bid to prevent wildfires. sfchronicle.com/california-wil…
This is what PG&E is responding to.
And of course, PG&E is also perhaps responding to this. sfchronicle.com/business/artic…

“We have been successful in stopping many efforts to prank Senator Graham and the office, but this one slipped through the cracks,” he said. “They got him.” politico.com/news/2019/10/1…
These modestly compromising calls with Graham were recorded by persons with suspected ties to Russian intelligence in early August. It's now early October. Graham has recently made noises opposing Turkey's incursion in Syria... is that why we're hearing about it now?
How much other material do these Russian 'pranksters,' or Russia's intelligence services (if those suspected links prove to be real links), have warehoused on Graham and other members of Congress?

The indictment of Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman, David Correia, and Andrey Kukushkin s.wsj.net/public/resourc…
Well this seems significant, part of the charges against Parnas and Fruman relate to funneling illegal contributions to a US Congressman and seeking his aid in getting Ambassador Yovanovitch removed.
The Daily Beast wrote a couple days ago about how illegal contributions flowed to Congressman Pete Sessions, who wrote a letter targeting the ambassasor. thedailybeast.com/america-first-…

If you're a nerd like me, you can go through Hinds' Precedents and find 1800s vintage cases where judges and cabinet secretaries (albeit not presidents, afaik) facing impeachment were allowed to appear at House hearings and sometimes question witnesses. govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GP…
However--and this is the crucial point--you can also look through Hinds Precedents and find lots of cases where the House conducted its investigation of similar officials entirely ex parte, without any involvement by the accused.
Both ways of doing impeachment investigations are valid. Why? Because the Constitution says the House gets to determine the rules of its proceedings.

So, northern California is experiencing a #poweroutage right now due to the #pgeshutoff . They gave 800,000 households/ businesses one day notice. The power outage "may last" up to five days.
This is a monopolistic company that has the power to basically do whatever they want. The CEO is the highest paid government worker in the US. sacbee.com/news/politics-…
This is in lieu of the disaster last year during dry season where PG&E's lack of maintenance caused a fire that destroyed an entire town and took lives.

A plan by California’s biggest utility to cut power on high-wind days during the onrushing wildfire season could plunge millions of residents into darkness bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @business
@business A plan by California’s biggest utility to cut power on high-wind days during the onrushing wildfire season could plunge millions of residents into darkness. And the vast majority isn’t ready.
@business The plan by PG&E Corp. comes after the bankrupt utility said a transmission line that snapped in windy weather probably started last year’s Camp Fire, the deadliest in state history. While the plan may end one problem, it creates another as Californians seek ways to deal with
