  1. After my colleagues denied the American people witnesses & documents, the very least we can do is debate in the open. To close the doors & block the public would be abhorrent to the principles of transparency & our Constitutional obligations.

  2. This expanded ban violates moral & Constitutional principles. Just because the ban is less brazen doesn’t mean it’s less bigoted. We should be welcoming diverse immigrants & refugees, not closing our doors to a growing list of ‘undesirable’ countries.

  3. As I sat in the Senate chamber & cast my vote in favor of witnesses & documents, I was so deeply disappointed & dismayed to see the partisan divide. A betrayal of our Constitutional obligation.

    Poništi
  4. Our vote isn’t just about whether Trump solicited a bribe, corruptly abusing his power for personal political gain—it’s about what kind of country we want America to be. Trump may believe he answers to no one, but I still believe that we’re accountable to the people we serve.

  5. The Senate deliberations should be fully open to the public. After a White House cover-up & a sham Senate trial, the very least we owe the American people is complete transparency in how we are contemplating this hugely consequential decision.

  6. The facts will come out. Thank goodness the & the American free press are doing the investigative work that the Senate is too cowardly to do itself.

  7. Gutting Medicaid is yet another clear example of the Trump Admin’s disdain for keeping ALL Americans healthy. This plan paves the way for millions to lose critical health care—dismantling a system that proves lifesaving coverage to the people who need it the most.

    Poništi
  8. YouTube influencers & their financial sponsors have flouted the law to commoditize & manipulate children. The FTC cannot solely nudge & remind those wrongly reaping millions off kids & parents. Only real enforcement against kid influencers will stop these illegal practices.

  9. Chances are high you've unknowingly agreed to “terms & conditions” that forfeited your right to hold companies accountable for predatory, discriminatory, unsafe practices. Forced arbitration is a stealthy way to prevent you from having your day in court.

    “The danger going forward is that the guard rails will be removed. The President now feels, in effect, legally unleashed,” says to about the effects of President Trump’s possible acquittal in the impeachment trial.

  11. As we ask our questions, Republicans sadly seem to be hardening their stance against witnesses & documents. Even as they complain about a lack of information, they are saying they don’t need any more facts. They cannot have it both ways.

    Poništi
  12. The contradictions never end—or cease to amaze me. Trump’s lawyers argue in the Senate that non-compliance with subpoenas isn’t impeachable. Trump’s own DOJ begs to differ.

    Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he's "deeply concerned" about the possible net results of the impeachment process & Trump's defense: It could lead to "unleashing the worst instincts in this President for the remainder of his term. ... It will make the presidency even more dangerous"

    Poništi
  14. No matter how the White House lawyers try & twist it, when the president trades public actions for political favors, the proper punishment is not a matter of opinion; it’s a matter of law. Check out this thread for an insightful breakdown of the Trump lawyer’s defense.

  15. No excuse. Lyft & Uber cannot stonewall Congressional oversight. They must explain their insufficiently serious attitude towards passengers & drivers who've been assaulted & harassed. If these companies continue to drag their feet & resist reforms they must come before Congress.

    Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz has argued that a politician trying to win reelection is acting in the national interest, and therefore a quid pro quo aimed at boosting reelection chances can't be impeachable. Sen. Blumenthal: Dershowitz's argument is "damaging to our democracy."

    Pres. Trump’s counsel just told the Senate that the Articles charge abuse of power but “do not mention bribery.” If one reads past the heading, it’s clear that Article I alleges all the elements of bribery:

  18. The White House defense’s argument that Trump should not be held accountable for bribery because the managers—following tradition—did not use that exact word in the Articles of Impeachment falls totally flat.

  19. In 2010, Judge Porteous was impeached for bribery, but the articles only said “he solicited & accepted things of value.” Just as w/Trump, the House managers described the crime; they did not use the word. ICYMI: The Senate unanimously convicted Porteous on the bribery article.

  20. By the defense counsel’s flawed logic, if President Trump was impeached for “shooting someone on Fifth Avenue” he could not be removed for murder. That’s completely ludicrous.
