    The NRA hijacked the Second Amendment, falsely claiming that it guaranteed an unlimited right to private arms. They made America much less safe than other peer democracies. Repeal would not confiscate guns but would lead to common sense regulations.

    The impeachment defense: Let the people decide, but don't give them the information they need to decide.

    Each day the ugly stain of corruption grows. Bolton revealed Trump has planned for months to get Ukraine to smear the Bidens. Now Giuliani seems to have used his Trump connections for private profit. And Rep. Senators blind themselves to docs and witnesses.

    The Democrats should embrace any deal for the testimony of John Bolton in exchange for a Republican witness. There is no Republican witness nearly as important as Bolton. Hunter Biden, for example, has nothing to say about the charges leveled against .

    Starr says that can be impeached only for a statutory crime. Yet, in 1998, he said that Pres. Bill Clinton should be impeached because he "abused his constitutional authority," including "lying to the public" and "invoking executive privilege."

    So denies Bolton's claim that he told him the Ukrainian aid was tied to political investigations. Just as he said he didn't know about hush money payments to women (see the checks hear the recording) or he didn't know Lev Parnas (see and hear the video).

    Backers of say no harm, aid was released. But DOD was going to release aid on June 18, 3-month delay depleted Ukrainian readiness. Aid was released so late in fiscal year that Cong. had to pass special bill to get it released. It is still not all transmitted.

    Check out my column in The Hill on how and why Donald Trump broke the law in violating the Federal Impoundment Control Act.

    No framer said impeachment requires a statutory crime not abuse of power. Hamilton: impeachment involves “the abuse or violation of some public trust.” Madison: pres. “might betray his trust to foreign powers.” Randolph: "he will have great opportunities of abusing his power,”

    So, 's own Defense Secretary has exposed Trump's lie about Soleimani's purported attacks on 4 US embassies. Sec. Esper said he "didn't see" any specific evidence of such attacks. Neither did anyone attending the admins. congressional briefings.

    Use your common sense. If 's claim that Soleimani was about to attack four U.S. embassies were true, wouldn't military leaders have warned the embassies and beefed up their defenses? Obviously, another of innumerable Trump lies.

    Although early polls are not predictive of final outcomes, they refute ’s claim that impeachment helps him in swing states. Biden now beats Trump by 5 pts in Wisconsin & 7 in Michigan, both states Trump won in 2016.

    A new poll finds that 52% v. 34%, called 's behavior with Iran "reckless." By “more than 6-1” respondents said Trump increased the chances that Iran would strike US Middle East interests, that terrorists would attack the US and that a U.S. v. Iran war would ensue.

    Look up my Hill column about how McConnell is using a bogus comparison with the Clinton trial to dismiss the charges against with as little damage as possible to Trump, the GOP, and McConnell's death grip on the Senate.

    McConnell is misleading us again. Three crucial differences between the Clinton trial & the trial. Clinton had already been investigated for a year by Ken Starr. All relevant witnesses including Clinton had already testified. The opposition controlled the Senate

    The admin. of can't get its stories straight on the killing of Soleimani. Sec. State Pompeo says it was to stop an "imminent threat." Def. Dept. says it was to "deter future threats." Does the "wag the dog" theory seem more plausible?

    A US/Iran war would be devastating. If you hear people pushing for war, stating that the US has been left no choice, remember the facts. When the Trump administration began, US, Iran relations were stable. 3 years later, Trump and his administration have pushed us to the brink.

    New Economist/YouGov polls shows Americans are not locked in on 's removal. A plurality of 45% say yes, 41% say no. 14% remain undecided, showing the importance of a real Senate trial with witnesses and documents, like the two other pres. trials in our history.

    After a brief uptick, the approval polls for are falling again. Recent polls from IPSOS, Morning Consult & American Research Group give him an average of just 40 percent approval.
