Related to the point here is that right now there are not enough votes *in the House* for M4A, even if Warren/Sanders won the presidency and Dems managed to take the Senate.

I think it's really important for candidates to lay out their visions and goals and plans and not just pre-emptively concede to "political reality," which is dynamic and malleable. But also, there's a certain "angles dancing on the head of a pin" quality to the M4A details debate
Though that said, a presidential candidate running on M4A and getting elected while doing so would significantly alter the realm of the political possible. But there is still a long distance between here and there.

The best argument for the GOP to make, both for the health of the country and, also, politically is: "Yes, this is wrong. It was inappropriate and the President shouldn't have done it and shouldn't do it again. But it doesn't rise to an impeachable offense."
But I don't think they *can* really make that argument because Trump won't let them make it. He'll go nuts if they do.
And so we're likely gonna end up in a place where the entire GOP is making the equivalent of Trump's lawyers' argument today in court: even if he murders someone in broad daylight, there is literally nothing you can do.

Or, more succinctly: get over it.

From NBC News about that Trump appearance before the staff of the UN Amb.

"A US official and another person briefed on the meeting by multiple people in attendance confirms the authenticity of the LA Times audio and what was said by Trump..."
"...this morning. The person briefed said that many of the diplomats in the room took particular offense because there were children in the audience and it was supposed to be a family-friendly event..."
"Instead, the kids there saw Trump talking ominously about treason and spies and how we need to be rougher on people."

I know I already tweeted this but there's a lot of pretty explosive stuff in here

"Leshchenko and another former senior Ukrainian law enforcement official said they believe that Lutsenko invented the investigations that Giuliani pushed as part of an effort to keep his job."
"In early 2019, Lutsenko’s position as prosecutor general was under threat after Zelenskiy -- who was then heavily ahead in the polls -- promised to remove him if elected president."

Here is a review of Elizabeth Warren’s record relating to Israel, terrorism, and anti-Semitism.
Warren has said she is “committed to Israel’s security,” and also said that anti-Semitism “has no place in a democracy.”

So let’s review her record.

Warren tours Michigan with one of the most anti-Semitic members of Congress in US history, Rashida Tlaib.

Now that a ‘No Deal’ #Brexit is looking like the most likely outcome, I would (again) bang the drum for how this is really bad news for anyone who moves data btwn the UK & EU, and vice versa.

Here’s why:
Right now, as an EU country, the UK is part of the region’s privacy regime, meaning that anyone (tech company, bank, retailer) can move data freely across the EU-28. It’s the lifeblood of the economy, particularly for professional services — something that the UK does really well
But in a no-deal scenario, that ready access is turned off overnight. No ifs, ands or buts. The UK says it’ll keep data moving from its side to the EU (yay!). But the EU says you won’t be able to move data from EU-27 to UK, unless you have special mechanisms in place

The Democratic field is effectively #Biden, #Warren, #Sanders, #Harris, and #Buttigieg

#DemDebate2
To clarify, I'm going by poll averages over the past few months. I don't think the debates have materially changed the dynamics of the race or altered the top tier.
That said, I think Biden's recent downward drift and Warren's rise will continue.

1. To impeach or not to impeach? That is the question. It just got a lot more real with the new determination that Trump directed Cohen to commit a crime.
2. Let's step back. Impeachment is a two-headed beast. It's both a legal process and a political process. The question is what dominates: the legal imperative of justice or the political pragmatics of what is possible.
3. Let's stipulate (as I think is reasonable) that Trump has committed impeachable offenses. If we see this as a legal process, then Congress has a constitutional duty to start the process, whatever the odds. Justice demands no less.

Senator Rand Paul
@RandPaul
Right now, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), chairman of the Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management (FSO) Subcommittee, is speaking on the U.S. Senate floor to urge support for his “Penny Plan” balanced budget: c-span.org/congress/?cham…
There is a point which debt is too cumbersome...We have a national debt of $21 trillion dollars. Currently the debt ceiling has been raised and the government can spend and borrow as much as they want.
Dems and Republicans make an unholy alliance. Republicans get more military spending and dems get more welfare spending. We've got guns and butter everyone gets what they want but the tax payer.
