Sen. Graham: I will never be quiet about matters of national security
Sen Graham: "With all due respect to the president, I'm elected to have a say about our national security... What is unfolding in Syria is gonna be a disaster... I will not be quiet. I will do everything I can to help the president get to a good spot."
Sen. Graham on Syria: "The president's decision here I think is the biggest mistake of his presidency. And I will never be quiet about matters of national security."

Says to soldiers who fought vs ISIS: "I will lend my voice to your cause."
Asked if Syria situation will affect whether he can work with Trump, Graham said, " I really don't care right now. I care more about our national security."

Says he has been to Iraq/Afghanistan 56 times.

Says this decision worse than Obama withdrawal from Iraq
This all in response to the president saying today that Lindsey Graham should stick to Judiciary and their disagreement on Middle East foreign policy:

McConnell: "I want to express my gratitude to the Kurds... great fighters... we had a [great] alliance with them... I'm sorry we are where we are..."

Sondland will say:

"Giuliani’s requests were a quid pro quo... Giuliani demanded that Ukraine make a public statement announcing investigations of the 2016 election/DNC server and Burisma. Mr. Giuliani was expressing the desires of the President of the United States."
Sondland: "We did not want to work with Mr. Giuliani... We all understood that if we refused to work with Mr. Giuliani, we would lose an important opportunity to cement relations between the United States and Ukraine. So we followed the President’s orders."
Sondland said his recollection and preparation has been stymied by State Dept refusing to give him phone records, files and emails.

"Should have been made available" to the committee, he said. "In the absence of these materials, my memory has not been perfect."

Lt Col Vindman: "It is improper for the President of the United States to demand a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen and political opponent."
Vindman tells cmte:

"I want to state that the vile character attacks on these distinguished and honorable public servants is reprehensible... we are better than personal attacks."

Prepared statement read:
"callow and cowardly attacks"
Vindman: "Dad, I'm sitting here today, in the US Capitol talking to our elected professionals -- is proof that you made the right decision forty years ago to leave the Soviet Union... Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth."

We as #Americans are facing down a terrible and destructive enemy. An enemy that knows no bounds, plays by no rules and is concerned only with driving a wedge into the staggering partisan divide in the #USA
That enemy is the @GOP @TheDemocrats #Republicrat #Duopoly
'But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. '
#Republicrats
The yoke our founding fathers threw off was I do believe a lighter yoke than we Americans bear today. It was for all its weight a yoke forced upon them. Today we bear a yoke we have been manipulated into volunteering for.

Standing in line in Texas this was observed by a follower. Very disappointing and troubling experience at the polls this morning.
My husband and I had the opportunity to stand in line right in front of Governor Abbott to cast our ballot.
U.S. Congressman Roger Williams and State Representative Paul Workman were also there to cast their ballot alongside him, and State Senator Donna Campbell was there to support all of them.

@BarackObama the amazing turnaround in the US economy is because @realDonaldTrump supported the opposite of every single dumb policy of yours. You said “you didn’t build that!” President Trump said, “yes, you did!” and unleashed America's growth engine. cnbc.com/amp/2018/09/07…
Lifelong Democrat Jamie Dimon agrees. reuters.com/article/us-jpm…
And not just on President Trump's deregulation push. No, Dimon also credits Trump's corporate and individual tax cuts for boosting economic growth prospects and wages. cnbc.com/2018/01/24/jp-…
