Vindman to his father in Nov:

"You made the right decision 40 years ago to leave the Soviet Union."
“Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth."

(Army Lieutenant and Purple Heart recipient)
thank you, friends, for always keeping me on my toes.

"Army Lieutenant Colonel."
Vindman had already informed sr officials ... he intended to take an early exit (after testifying about what he witnessed out of what he called a 'sense of duty')

... but Trump is eager to make a symbol of the Army officer soon after the Senate acquitted him.
and Vindman was reportedly escorted out of the White House minutes ago.

Can they pay for what they're promising you?
Estimating Democratic Candidates’ Health Plans

Deficit impact over 10 years:
Biden: -$800 billion
Buttigieg: +$450 billion
Sanders: -$13.4 trillion
Warren: -$6.1 trillion

@BudgetHawks For instance, using Sanders' own numbers (explaining where he'll get the $$), his Med-for-All falls $11.5 TRILLION SHORT.

Again, those are using his numbers, according to @BudgetHawks
@BudgetHawks This is despite very substantial tax increases at all income levels, including 70% and up rates for the richest and 50% further down the scale.

Trump did not like Congress being informed of Russia trying to help his reelect & fired the nation's top intelligence chief over it.

The temporary replacement is a frmr Fox pundit w no intel experience who downplayed the Russian threat.

@NBCNews 2016 Op-Ed from Grenell:

"in the U.S., reports that Russia is trying to influence the 2016 presidential elections is unfolding in many political newsrooms like it’s a new occurrence."

Even Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, is acting shocked that Russia ...
@NBCNews is purportedly trying to hack into official computer systems."

👉Kristin Davis, longtime friend of Stone, in a text foreshadows an appeal and calls on Trump for a pardon.

Full statement h/t @annaschecter :

“It’s rather odd to me to pronounce sentence before we have ascertained the integrity of the trial.
@annaschecter There is serious undisputed Juror misconduct here in anti-Trump, anti-Republican and anti-Stone tweets and if Judge Jackson does not recognize it, it will be the solid grounds for an appeal. Roger Stone continues to be gagged, stripping him of his first amendment right and ..
@annaschecter ability to make a living. By moving forward with sentencing and continuing to silence Stone it seems very clear that the truth doesn't matter.

It falls on President Trump to use the power of a pardon as the final means of checks and balances to right this horrible wrong.”

Lt Col Vindman: "It is improper for the President of the United States to demand a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen and political opponent."
Vindman tells cmte:

"I want to state that the vile character attacks on these distinguished and honorable public servants is reprehensible... we are better than personal attacks."

Prepared statement read:
"callow and cowardly attacks"
Vindman: "Dad, I'm sitting here today, in the US Capitol talking to our elected professionals -- is proof that you made the right decision forty years ago to leave the Soviet Union... Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth."

Instead of dealing with previous testimony from diplomats about Trump and bribery and Ukraine, @DevinNunes starts the impeachment hearing by complaining about the media being "puppets" of the Democratic Party (they aren't).
Pence advisor Jennifer Williams' opening statement on Trump's phone call with Ukraine: "I found the July 25th phone call unusual because, in contrast to other presidential calls I had observed, it involved discussion of what appeared to be a domestic political matter."
Alexander Vindman opening statement on Trump's Ukraine phone call: "What I heard was improper, and I reported my concerns to Mr. Eisenberg. It is improper for the President of the United States to demand a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen and political opponent."
