Following its launch last week, the show rocketed to the top of the iTunes podcast charts, surpassing perennial chart toppers “The Joe Rogan Experience” and “The Daily.”
The podcast is recorded as a casual conversation between Cruz and Knowles, where the pair break down the day’s action in the Senate and launch an audio defense of Trump: tedcruz.org/news/dallas-mo… #Verdict

It’s been a sight to behold the last 24 hours of Lefties triggering over this tweet. “Ah ha! You’re pro choice,” they exclaim. No, I believe in BOTH life and individual liberty. Four points: (1) Too many on the Left believe the Malthusian nonsense that more children are bad. 1/x
2/x (2) That mistaken belief has led to horrific policies of forced sterilization of those deemed “unfit” — policies that the Supreme Court tragically (and wrongly) upheld in Buck v. Bell (1927).
3/x (3) That mistaken world-view finds fruition in communist China’s “one child” policy, which has forced millions of mothers to abort their children against their will. When I introduced an amendment against China’s barbaric policy of forced abortion—something that should...

Rep. Omar seems confused and/or dismayed by my being a Christian. Perhaps some history might help; the sentiment I expressed goes back to the very founding of our Nation. Indeed, the motto of the American Legion is “for God and country.” 1/x
2/x George Washington wrote in 1778, “While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens & soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory....”
3/x “... to add the more distinguished character of Christian.” This devotion to God AND country inspired the Declaration of Independence (“We hold these truths to be self-evident....”); gave force to the mighty Abolitionists; and drove the civil rights movement.

There was a time when CNN journalists were supposed to want to discover the truth, not help Dems cover it up. The Dem arg that Hunter Biden isn’t “relevant” (which Cuomo dutifully repeats) is just silly. Here’s why: the House Managers based their case on the proposition... 1/x
2/x ...that it was “baseless” and a “sham” to seek an investigation into corruption involving Burisma and the Bidens. The House devoted several hours to making that arg. That naturally opens the door to the President’s main defense: that there was more than enough evidence...
3/x ...of corruption to justify an investigation. Here are several Qs the House refused to answer (or said “I don’t know”): 1) how much did Burisma pay Hunter Biden? ($1 million a year, as publicly reported? More?) 2) what exactly did Hunter DO for that $1 million a year?...

Good morning from Capitol Hill on what could be the last day for the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

Outside, a small group of protesters:
👀

Trial could extend into next week, officials say

washingtonpost.com/politics/impea…
"...the Senate could take up a new procedural resolution laying out rules for the trial’s endgame — which could include time for closing arguments, private deliberations and public speeches by senators."

Good morning from D.C.
The impeachment trial reconvenes at 1PM ET.
Here are the broadstrokes of what we can expect:
When trial resumes, WH defense and impchmt mgrs get 2 hours each to make presentations Then, a vote on witnesses expected in early evening, 5-6PM ET.
(continued)
There's a couple ways this could shake out.
If GOP manages to block new witnesses, McConnell could push forward to vote on the articles of impeachment.
If that happens, that opens the floor to amendments.
As it was when the resolution was adopted, expect a lot of them.
Another possible scenario is a deadlock 50-50 tie.
Chief Justice Roberts, as the presiding officer, has the authority to break the tie, but doing so would put him in a politically charged situation.
What will he do? We'll see.

Good morning from Washington.
Let us start today by addressing a distortion offered by POTUS this a.m.: The House *did* ask Bolton to testify and provide docs but Boltons lawyer said any subpoena rec'd would be challenged in court.
So instead of holding up the impeachment trial...
The House Dems decided against issuing the subpoena at that time.
Trump seems to falsely suggest that the Senate cannot subpoena witness testimony.
They can and could. The question is will they?
Here is what could happen.
WH defense team must conclude their opening arguments first. Then, we enter an up to 16hr round for senator questions to be submitted in writing. Then, sens. debate for 4 hours on whether to subpoena witnesses and/or records.

Good morning. We start President Donald Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate with debate and then a vote on the rules that will guide how the trial unfolds. I will frequently be reporting from inside the chamber and largely relegated to pen/pad until I can access electronics.
I hope you will continue to follow along here for updates and color as the trial progresses!

Debate in Senate starts at 1PM ET today, both sides get an hour. Then, expected around 3PM ET, Dems propose amendments to GOP resolution and eventually, some time tonight, they vote.
For your review, the organizing resolution proposed by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell:

Trump impeachment: Lisa Murkowski 'disturbed' by Mitch McConnell's stance
Republican senator unhappy with Senate leader saying he was working in ‘total coordination’ with White House
Republican US Senator Lisa Murkowski has said she was “disturbed” by the Senate leader’s approach to working with White House counsel on the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, saying there should be distance between the two.
The comments by the Alaska lawmaker come after Mitch McConnell, majority leader of the Republican-led Senate, said during a Fox News interview earlier this month that he was working in “total coordination” with the White House on the upcoming trial.
