.@RepAdamSchiff outlines the chronology.
March 2019: the plot to oust Yovanovitch.
@RepAdamSchiff April-June 2019: The pressure campaign ramps up as Trump's team makes it clear there will be consequences if Zelensky doesn't do what he wants.
@RepAdamSchiff July: Trump withholds aid to Ukraine and calls Zelensky to make it clear he only cares about "the big stuff"—the investigations he's demanding.
@RepAdamSchiff In August and September, Trump and Zelensky's people hammer out the statement to fulfill the quid pro quo—until finally, Trump gets caught red-handed.
@RepAdamSchiff .@RepAdamSchiff concludes: "I think this is some form of cosmic justice, that this ambassador that was so ruthlessly smeared is now a hero for her courage. There is justice in that. But what will really vindicate that leap of faith that she took is if we show the same courage."

.@RepAdamSchiff begins with a summary of article one: Trump's abuse of power by pressuring Ukraine to help him cheat the 2020 election.
"That has been proved."
@RepAdamSchiff "These actions were consistent with President Trump's previous invitations of foreign interference in U.S. elections. That has been proved."
@RepAdamSchiff "Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any honor, trust or profit under the united States, that will be for you to decide. But the facts have been proved. Those facts are not contested. We have met our burden."

.@RepAdamSchiff begins with a close reading of the July 25 call—one that shows the depths of Trump's corruption.
@RepAdamSchiff "Well, Donald Trump, in this call, you see he does think he's owed. This is what he's talking about when he says there's not much reciprocity here. He thinks he's owed something:" Zelensky's help in his 2020 re-election campaign.
@RepAdamSchiff Zelensky goes to great lengths to reassure Trump he's "surrounded by friends"—because "Rudy Giuliani was out there on TV saying Zelensky is surrounded by enemies of Trump," and that played a key role in why Trump initially turned against him.

How do we know withholding aid was meant to pressure Ukraine to announce Trump's desired investigation?
@RepJasonCrow outlines five reasons, adding up to: "There was no legitimate policy reason for holding the aid, so the truth came out."
@RepJasonCrow The July 25 call is far from the only evidence of Trump's corrupt quid pro quo. But his words on that call alone make it clear that he considered military aid a key part of his extortion of Ukraine.
@RepJasonCrow "By bringing up the investigations immediately after President Zelensky raised the issue of military support, [Trump] linked the two issues."
This isn't just Democrats speculating—it's what Jennifer Williams, a Pence aide who listened to the call in real time, concluded.

@AKA_RealDirty
Tonight’s @seanhannity Thread.

@GOPLeader says @SpeakerPelosi is doing this for two reasons. #1 she has a really weak case.

#2 prevent senators from campaigning and helping out @JoeBiden. Joe should make a pledge not to campaign while the others is at the trail.
.@GOPLeader since is the job of the house to do the impeachment. It’s the job of the senate to hold the trail.
.@SenMcSallyAZ Says the maximum pressure campaign is working. It would also help if there Europeans would work with us and quit trying to get around the sanctions.

1. New #QAnon today is related to ousted Ukraine Ambassador #Yovanovitch having ordered our country's State Dept. to spy on our own American journalists and Trump allies.
2. You see, "America is no longer for sale."
Because, "It’s been a long time since we’ve had a non-corrupt President who works on behalf of the American people and not himself." #QAnon #Q

3. #QAnon "You are witnessing the largest ‘organized’ disinformation campaign to ever be perpetuated on the public.
Trust yourself.
Be free in your thoughts.
The #GreatAwakening.
RETURN #POWERTOTHEPEOPLE." #Q

TRUMP: "When I took over our military, we did not have ammunition. I was told by a top general, maybe the top of them all, 'Sir, I'm sorry sir, we don't have ammunition.' I said, I will never let that happen to another president."
Trump doesn't seem bothered by the prospect of the Kurds and Turkey going to war with each other because they "are natural enemies."

▶️Why couldn't they be more creative in counter protest? Always calling people who disagree with the Sino-centrsm as 'traitors'. 😩👇😖

💡'hàn jiān' (漢奸) original meaning in Chinese, someone who betrays 'Han' dynasty.

❓Han Dynasty had long gone.

Now, every country knows there're 'thuggish students' from this 'great country,' calling people ' hàn jiān'(Han traitors'

They could've been more creative.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."
