Capitol is eerily quiet today. Fiona Hill is set to show up within the hour to testify before House impeachment investigators. House & Senate return to session tomorrow.
Fiona Hill is in the building. Follow along with me & @kyledcheney here — politico.com/news/2019/10/1…
@kyledcheney NEW: Fiona Hill’s lawyer says she was served with a subpoena to testify this morning, a possible indication that the White House sought to block her testimony.

New: Amid a modest but intensifying public outcry among Republicans over Giuliani’s Ukraine efforts, Democrats see an opening as they build the case for Trump’s impeachment.

Story w/ @kyledcheney recapping week 4 of impeachment...

politico.com/news/2019/10/1…
@kyledcheney Some Dems think Rudy could soon get the Michael Cohen treatment.

“Giuliani’s going to get thrown under the bus. The president's going to make it sound like ‘I didn’t tell him to do this or that, he was rogue, he went out on his own,’” Rep. Rouda told us.

politico.com/news/2019/10/1…
@kyledcheney Rep. Rooney (R-Fla.) indicated he’s open to backing impeachment, slamming Rudy’s “amateur diplomacy.”

“I want to get the facts and do the right thing. Because I’ll be looking at my children a lot longer than I’m looking at anybody in this building.”

1/ Some final points from me & @kyledcheney on Sondland’s nine-hour testimony, wrapping up another marathon day here at the Capitol...

politico.com/news/2019/10/1…
2/ Sondland broke with Trump, but many lawmakers said he was unable to recall specifics.

“He used the words ‘I don’t recall’ quite a bit during testimony, which I believed, considering the timeline, he should have recalled,” Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) said
politico.com/news/2019/10/1…
3/ Trump allies starting to grow uneasy about Rudy

“I would not, on my dime, send a private attorney looking for some server in a foreign country,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) told me

He said they’re “trying to grapple with” whether he acted appropriately

1⃣ Let's take a look at how the Senate works. I've spoken to a decent segment of certain political persuasions to warrant a fresh look. At first, specifically be concerning voting procedures. #Senate ⬇️

#SchumerShutdown #SchoolHouseRock #BuildTheWall @DNC #WeThePeople
2⃣ Aside from Revenue(tax) bills, bills can originate either in the House, the Senate or both simultaneously. When the bill has been polished it goes to a vote. There are two primary types of vote & one that is considered a countermeasure. #Senate ⬇️

#SchumerShutdown @DNC
3⃣ Out of Roll Call, Voice Vote & Division Vote, Voice is most used. The bill is brought to a vote & Senators verbally call off 'Yea' or 'Nay'. The presiding officer mentally tallies the verbal vote as best they can & announces the results. #Senate ⬇️

1. #Midterms2018 - The Facts:
- To win the #House the #Democrats need 23 more seats: Not easy
- To win the #Senate they need 2 more and successfully defend existing seats (100 seats in total, 2 for each #state): Not easy
- I detect that the #TrumpTrain (#RedWave) runs full speed!
2. #Midterms2018 - #Trump does a lot right:
- "The Base" was well prepared: You see it at all Trump-rallies
- Trump pushes a few emotive topics (illegal #migration): He knows - "Keep it simple, stupid!" #KISS
- The numbers are on his side: #Economy & #JobNumbers great
3. #Midterms2018 - What the #Democrats do wrong:
- Too many damaged goods: #ElizabethWarren (#Fakecahontas), #HillaryClinton despite all the support, over a billion war-chest & #media on her side LOST! But they keep pushing her!
- No single winning face, to win the votes!

#BLUEWAVE2018: IF THERE'S ONE THING YOU DO TODAY, READ & WATCH THIS!

308 days til the 2018 Midterm Elections. It's time to talk about HOW we take back the House & Senate.

THE STRATEGY MUST BE TWO-FOLD:

1. DEFEND BLUE SEATS. #KeepItBlue
2. FLIP RED SEATS. #FlipItBlue

[THREAD]
#SENATE: DEMs are at a "disadvantage" and ON THE DEFENSE.

DEMOCRATS and Independents must DEFEND 25 SEATS.

REPUBLICANS must only DEFEND 9 SEATS.

For a Majority, DEMS MUST KEEP ALL SEATS...and #FLIP2 BLUE.
#SENATE: TRUMP WON 10 STATES w/ SEATS DEMs MUST DEFEND.

Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Wisconsin, Florida, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

HILLARY WON 1 STATE GOP MUST DEFEND...Nevada.

See competitive races below. Made BEFORE Franken's open seat.
