Des Moines Register on Iowa Republican Senator Joni Ernst:

“Some Iowans watching her daily commentaries to reporters as Trump's impeachment trial unfolds may question her allegiance to the U.S. Constitution...” desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/…
“Ernst and Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa should step up and publicly support hearing from witnesses. They should vote "yes" if the Senate takes up the question of whether to issue subpoenas — and insist that any issued subpoenas are enforced.”

amp.desmoinesregister.com/amp/4592962002…
“Grassley and Ernst should want to hear from the former national security adviser John Bolton. They should worry about how history is going to judge them if they refuse to do a thorough job in providing a check on the executive branch of government.”

three-part mini thread:

it’s an iowa thing, not just an iowa dems thing.

the 2012 gop iowa caucuses were “won” by romney.

and then a few days later they were “won” by santorum.

and then a few months later they were “won” by ron paul....

blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2012…
and then a little while later, the ron paul victory got its own exciting surprise ending:

multiple criminal indictments!

desmoinesregister.com/story/news/cri…
so yes, it’s worth being agog about what just happened in the iowa dem caucuses last night, but at least thus far, this rises nowhere near the historical apogee for clstrfckdnss in iowa.

Surprising answer to Senator Warner's request for additional information about Russia disseminating the same Ukraine conspiracy theories promulgated by President Trump and Rudy Giuliani (and, I'd note, now the president's counsel and some Republican Senators).
Schiff responds that, yes, there's information about that in Jennifer Williams's classified supplement to her testimony, and all Senators should look at that.

But then...
he also says there is a "second body of evidence" on that issue "that is relevant to this trial that you should also read. We should figure out the mechanism that would permit you to do so, because it is directly relevant to the issues that we have been discussing."

What's that?

Republican Steve King is trending. Im going to do a quick thread on his rich history of racism. In Oct 2018, he endorsed white supremacist & anti-semite Faith Goldy for Toronto mayor. She attended the Unite the Right rally & promotes the White Genocide conspiracy theory. 1/
In Oct 2018, Steve King defended his association & support of the far-right Austrian Freedom Party, started by a Nazi & whose current leader is popular in neo-Nazi circles. “If they were in America pushing the platform that they push, they would be Republicans,” King said. 2/
In Dec 2017, Steve King tweeted "Diversity is not our strength." He also sahres the quote of Viktor Orban, the anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, authoritarian leader of Hungary: "Mixing cultures will not lead to a higher quality of life but a lower one.”
