Been a crazy day on the trail in New Hampshire. Every campaign event has been at a school which seems almost fortified against cell phones and wifi. 1/
It was an interesting weekend in New Hampshire. Here's my story with thumbnails on what I saw for each of the five major Democrats this weekend.

Sanders was all over the state. He won big four years ago, and he is the favorite to win on Tuesday. He kept up his criticism of Buttigieg over fundraising from big money Democrats, and Sanders also turned his fire on Bloomberg. 3/

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.

The Senate convenes now to try the President of the United States for impeachable offenses, namely, bribery to subvert the elections, and obstruction. #ImpeachAndRemoveTrump
The Republicans, under Mitch McConnell, will now try to set rules that will ram through a quick moot court without witnesses, in an historic first and a powerful gesture towards dictatorship #ImpeachedForLife
The rules would force the Democrats to present their case for twelve hours at a time and late into the midnight hours. Careful attention has been paid to make the procedure as visually boring as possible #ImpeachmentTrialRules #ImpeachedForLife

Welcome to today's #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial thread (potentially one of a few)! I've been playing around with tags a little in other tweets this morning but for now, I'm going to stick with the two I've used here. That may change later on, though. Follow/mute at will!
Today is going to be procedural stuff. The Senate will have to approve the (completely BS) rules proposed by McConnell. Dems will offer amendments, of course, but since a simple majority rules I don't have a lot of hope any of the amendments will pass. #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial
For those of you just tuning in, McConnell is proposing that this trial have:

Zero witnesses
Zero admitted evidence
Ridiculously little time set aside for opening arguments and questions.
As little sunlight as possible.

This week, the House formally delivered #impeachment articles to the Senate. See thread for a statement from Karen Baynes-Dunning, Interim President & CEO of the SPLC Action Fund:
"While many of us believe the evidence against President Trump is overwhelming, with new revelations emerging almost daily, the American people have a right to full, fair and transparent deliberations in the Senate. This includes testimony from key witnesses.
“SPLC Action Fund urges Americans to contact their U.S. Senators and ask that they fulfill their oath to ‘do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.’”

Today, Chief Justice Roberts administered a specific oath of office to every Senator for the #ImpeachmentTrial.

Problem is, we’ve already had multiple Senators make it clear that they intend to violate that oath. Follow along as I name names: //Thread
Here’s Mitch McConnell flatly stating that he will not be impartial during the #ImpeachmentTrial:

“Everything I do, I’m coordinating with White House counsel. There will be no difference between the president’s position and our position.”
Here’s Lindsey Graham saying he’s has no interest in impartiality and will vote against having witnesses for Trump, which is in stark contrast to his vehement call for witnesses against a Democratic president:
