Good Wednesday morning. I’d like to highlight a few things in playbook, which was out at 6:01 this am

Two ways to look at yesterday. One: Rs used their majority to stifle Dems in a long series of votes aimed at altering the trial.
... But instead of tinkering around the edges of a trial that will almost certainly end up in acquittal of trump, Dems now don’t politically own the trial, which some think is beneficial.
NEW IMPEACHMENT POLLING on @SenatorCollins from senate majority pac.

Good Wednesday morning — I’d like to highlight a few things from Playbook this morning

“President Trump became a wartime leader at the dawn of an election year, and the contours of his ever-changing presidency have again shifted"
But being the leader of a nation on the brink of war requires clear, measured, fluid communication about the what, why and how of America’s conflict — a skill the president has not been adept at
America is weary of war after decades of conflict. And discussing about why you’re sending kids to combat requires more than saying “OBAMA should’ve done it,” or “BUSH screwed it up.” It requires more than crytpic tweets in the night, or saying Democrats hate America.

Good morning. I’d like to highlight some things in playbook before this busy day

Taking stock of where we are ...

— top republican officials tell us that not a single GOP vote has inched any closer toward voting to impeach the president.
— House Democrats are no longer even pretending they think their republicans colleagues are on the level. And despite what you hear from pelosi, Democrats are internally certain they will vote to impeach trump. That decisions been made.
— even for the well versed on the topic, the hearings have been a slog. They are confusing, long, etc. but have compiled a stunning amount of evidence in this compressed period of time
And, as @heatherscope pointed out to me in an email, it’s almost a throwback to an earlier time

So, I ran across a retweet of the below tweet and it immediately raised flags. Puffing up a witness has a reason, so decided to go look for the documentation behind it, since it had a direct quote. Didn't take long - few minutes and NPR coughed it up (will link at the end)./1
About puffing someone up - the reason is to try to give the person credibility, their views more weight than they should be given, and to set them above someone they are in disagreement with. In this case, also to elicit support due to his medal./2
In the case of the tweet, it is immediately followed by the statement "speaking out against the command-in-chief." (you're suppose to gasp here I think)

Then "the reason" is given - people kept telling him he needed to speak up (be sure to ignore other possible reasons)./3

Long thread tonight aimed at law students - in a spirit of support and good will to people of good will. I am typing here in part because it will make me feel less sorry for myself with this very annoying but really minor cold.
A lot of 1-3/4Ls are worried about the future and their place in this profession. They are hearing the echoes of their often insecure classmates, and are looking at the whole machine of this thing and maybe feeling overwhelmed.

I hope this helps a little.
It’s a long worm that doesn’t turn. What you think you may be seeing out of law school might be a perception bias - like how so many damn silver Corollas "showed up" in my parking lot after I bought a used one two months ago.

Good morning and welcome to another #Brexit thread

I'll be attempting to cover the events that are happening both in the Commons and in the Lords today so this is going to be a long one

1/n
So first things first, hello to all my new followers and here's a quick breakdown of what's happening today, and a quick precis of how business in each House is carried out and why really arcane things seem to happen that bear little-to-no relationship to reality

2/n
What's expected for today?

In the Lords the Opposition and Crossbench peers have laid a motion that will allow them the time to scrutinise the Bill that's about to be debated in the Commons. They want to debate this Bill on Friday at the latest. More on that later

I had so many WOC writers come up to me in tears after this panel and I know there are so many more out there who cannot possibly afford or take time away for a conference like this, so I just want to recap a few things...
1) when we talk about race in publishing, we talk about today, and yesterday is always used to contextualize how much better it is today.
2) but what we don’t talk about is the actual toll of yesterday. I was writing for 20 years before my first novel was published. 20.

Mega Thread of Opinion (1 of 52)

My take on #Election2019, is one that will surprise all #Canadians who will take the #time to read past this #headline. It will be a #long #series of #tweets that will be #purely #honest & straight to the #point.
This #series of tweets will contain #jabs at #voters, the #media & our #political #parties & they are #jabs, that in my own #opinion are #merited. Agree or don’t agree, I won’t care, but it needs to be said to ease my conscience in the lead up to our election!
In 2015, Canada’s #media, declared that #Trudeau & .@liberal_party outflanked the @NDP on leftist policies & for the 1st time in recent history the media supported large deficits & destruction of our country’s finances over a more balanced approach. Let’s stop here for a sec.

Good morning all from Rome - as you can see I have opted for the large moka pot this morning. We will all need it! Here are a few thoughts on #Italianelections2018 after an extraordinary night.
1. There are two ways to look at this #ItalianElection2018. One is the electoral outcome: a badly hung parliament. The other is the political message: an anti-establishment triumph.
2. Let's start with the electoral arithmetics. It's ugly. None of the three blocs (Centre-right, Centre-left, 5 Star Movement) will be able to secure a majority. We will need some form of grand coalition, which, in a way is what we always expected.
