Trump is quoting the headline of Penn's FoxNews.com piece, which Fox & Friends promoted before interviewing him.

Left, Fox & Friends, 7:18 a.m.
Right, Trump, 8:20 a.m.
Chyron during the segment identified Prenn as "Chairman, Harris Poll," which is why Trump described him that way.
That places Trump's previous tweet as a response to F&F airing Jim Jordan telling Sean Hannity, "the witness count right now is 17 to 0."

Popular Information's @JuddLegum has more on Facebook hiring former Fox producer Jennifer Williams "to head video strategy for Facebook News," noting that that team "is already facing serious questions about its ideological leanings and decision-making." popular.info/p/facebook-get…
Facebook offered this incoherent defense of Williams' 12 years at Fox & Friends:
Let's take each of these arguments in turn. First, Facebook suggests that Williams' Fox & Friends work is fine because it "occurred before Trump was president." Does Facebook really want to argue that Fox & Friends used to be a credible news show? Because it wasn't.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, the least-discussed major political event of the last decade is probably the GOP's decision to cynically and despicably exploit Ebola fears to win the 2014 elections, an effort led by Donald Trump and aided by press coverage. mediamatters.org/msnbc/report-e…
This is an "if a Democrat was president" hypothetical where we absolutely know what would happen because it already did, with massive consequences that continue to play out.
Anyway it is good for America that everyone at Fox News is too much of a sycophant and hypocrite to do the sort of "why won't the president DO SOMETHING" coverage that would lead him to panic and do something bad.

This thread will explain the step-by-step process of the House of Representatives transmitting articles of #impeachment against President Donald Trump to the US Senate. #ImpeachmentTrial
Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 5:30 pm, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, signed the articles of #impeachment while flanked by the 7 House impeachment managers: Schiff, Nadler, Lofgren, Jeffries, Demings, Crow, & Garcia.
Early morning, Thursday, January 16th, procedures are implemented to recognize the solemn event about to transpire. Capitol police wear more formal attire and limitations on movement & ‘no walking and talking’ restrictions are placed on the press.

Alrighty, then, my live #impeachment thread for you.

Let's start with the GOP's Rules guy.
"Hearsay"
Adam Schiff
Unfair
Don't actually rise to an impeachable offense
Shut down by the rules

Blah blah blah WE DO NOT HAVE, OR KNOW OF ANY EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE so
we're going to spend all day pettifogging.

NOT ENOUGH TIME!
If you can't stick around for the whole day, your shorter #impeachment:

1) The president abused his power for personal gain.
2) The president obstructed Congress' investigation of his abuse.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
