The fifth Democratic debate is tomorrow from 9 to 11 p.m. ET and The Washington Post is hosting alongside MSNBC.

We’ll be covering the highlights and live fact-checking throughout.

Ten candidates will be on stage in Georgia, a state that has been trending toward Democrats.

That’s two fewer onstage than last month’s debate — Beto O’Rourke dropped out and Julián Castro failed to hit the required polling levels. wapo.st/2XDPa6t
Many Democrats in the race are embracing more left-wing positions and the future of health care is one key division in the field.

We asked candidates for their stances on this issue, the economy, foreign policy, education and more. wapo.st/2O2t22s

So the Republicans are hanging their #impeachment case on four points, circulated to their members today. If this is the best they've got, they're in trouble. I will explain.
Point 1: the call summary.

Trump's aides know a) he's not the most coherent speaker and b) the kingpin never actually says the incriminating thing.

So they have to set the context for the call.

They communicate the actual ask on *three* occasions before the 25th call.
Trump's aides tell Ukrainians a WH visit is conditioned on investigations into Hunter Biden & 2016 on:

July 2, in Toronto when Volker talks to Zelenskyy.
July 10, at the WH when Sondland meets a Ukrainian delegation.
July 19, on a phone call between Sondland & Zelenskyy.

🚨BREAKING: #Whistleblower complaint is released, showing that @realDonaldTrump and his cronies–Rudy Giuliani and AG Bill Barr–abused the power of his office to EXTORT #Ukraine.

And then they tried to COVER IT UP.🤬

@realDonaldTrump Here's a link to the FULL #whistleblower complaint.

washingtonpost.com/context/read-t…
@realDonaldTrump The #whistleblower reports an "urgent concern" that @POTUS is "using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 US election...Rudolph Giuliani is a central figure in this effort. AG Barr appears to be involved as well."🔥

A short thread on #impeachment.

I have pre-existing conditions—I fear my life & that of my friends being taken away.
I have close friends with DACA—I fear their right to be here being taken away.
I'm a Latino parent—I fear my child will be discriminated against worse than I was
I'm the survivor of an in-person death threat against me & my family, from a MAGA extremist who hated me just for who I am—I fear him or another carrying out those threats.

I'm an attorney—I fear the erosion of the rule of law.
I'm a patriot—I fear Russian interference in the 2020 election.

I'm a voting rights advocate—I fear a system is currently being created that will lead to permanent minority rule, & that that minority will use political power to permanently restricts the rights of the majority.

 I am sorry to inform you that since yesterday, late in the day, I jumped to another universe.

In that universe, like here, the day ended with a press conference by Democrat leaders Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff and Cummings…
2/
 Only, "taking serious what was said today" they proclaimed to start #Impeachment hearings.

All the journalists had to rewrite their articles for the next day…
3/
 And this morning, it was not the hesitating, wandering voice of Mueller, nor the theatrics of the event that stood central.
Instead all the papers & websites focused on what Mueller (and Schiff and Nadler) had said and that had motivated Dems to start #impeachment.
