As the impeachment of Donald Trump moves toward the Senate, here is an important article by @SenKamalaHarris.

And by @SenAngusKing. Lawyers will recognize how the court doctrine of “adverse inference” relates to both Angus’s and Kamala’s articles.

.@gtconway3d’s not a Senator or a Democrat, but he’s written a hell of an article on Senate impeachment too.

Another Senator, a very senior and distinguished one, adds his views. @SenatorLeahy has seen a lot in his years.

In her confirmation hearing, Chairman Neumayr agreed that climate change is real, that it’s a major issue for coastal states like Rhode Island, and that some of our most important financial institutions are warning about the dire threats it poses.

Now, she’s proposing to neuter the environmental law that ensures the government’s most consequential decisions account for the effects of climate change.
We didn’t need more proof that the fossil fuel industry has hardwired the Trump administration to deliver on its interests, but we got it anyway.

.@GeoffreySupran is right: obtaining fossil fuel corporate documents is “one of the most important actions Congress could take to address the climate crisis.” The House must act.
theguardian.com/business/2020/…
"The reality is that as much as we know about fossil fuel interests’ denial and delay, we’ve really found those skeletons in the closet just by looking through a tiny keyhole – everything we know is based on just a few hundred documents scrounged from various sources."
"From my perspective every indication of this evidence is once that closet door gets blown open, the skeletons are going to come tumbling out."

.@NOAA: “particularly endangered” are Alaska and the Florida Keys, so where’s the climate action?
@NOAA "Alaska waters are especially vulnerable to [ocean acidification]. Most vulnerable are Alaska communities that rely on subsistence crab harvests and communities with fishing economies."
@NOAA "Alaska's seafood industry employs more than 50,000 people, pays $2 billion a year in wages, and includes the nation's largest and most valuable crab fishery.”

#Impeachment
Petite passe d'armes entre Donald @Trump et les démocrates:
▶️ @POTUS demande aux démocrates d'accélérer un peu le processus, "qui n'a que trop duré", selon lui.
▶️ Il montre ainsi sa domination puisqu'il est sûr d'être innocenté devant le Sénat.
@Trump @POTUS #Impeachment
Réponse du berger à la bergère:
▶️ @SpeakerPelosi demande aussitôt à la commission Justice de procéder à la rédaction des Articles de Mise en Accusation.
▶️ Elle s'appuie sur la nécessité de défendre la Constitution, quoi qu'il en coûte.
@Trump @POTUS @SpeakerPelosi #Impeachment
87% des #démocrates sont en faveur d'un procès et à la destitution de Donald #Trump.
Le chiffre est stable depuis le début de la procédure.

As @RitaKonaev notes, "Mattis had no problem disagreeing w/Obama about transgender people in the military or women in combat but won’t criticize Trump for asking foreign powers for dirt about political opponents.

This isn’t about him being above politics. This is his politics."
Excellent point here, and makes you wonder why Mattis' deference to the commander-in-chief is selectively applied in this manner 🤔
7 freshman House Ds, all with natsec experience: "If true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense ...

We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available, including inherent contempt."

💰Rick Gates, George Birnbaum & Psy Group

March 2016:

George Birnbaum (GOP operative) introduced Gates to Psy Group & to which he expressed interest in using it as a SocMed influence & manipulation tool, to try to sway Republican delegates toward Trump.
nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
Birnbaum was a protégé of Arthur J. Finkelstein, & has spent years as a consultant working on behalf of candidates in foreign elections. In 1996, he helped Finkelstein engineer Netanyahu’s victory over Shimon Peres to become the PM of Israel.
