    This is ... toothless. Does anyone think these people can be shamed, after all we've seen so far? Broadly speaking, Dems should consider the course of action that is suggesting instead:

    Dems may hold a hearing with an empty chair if Barr doesn’t show. No progress made today - including over Dem efforts to get full Mueller report

    "The question we face is whether Trump will be permitted to neuter the House’s oversight authority, thus placing himself beyond accountability and doing serious damage to our constitutional order."

    White evangelicals, always coming through in the clutch

    In new Post/ABC poll, Trump's immigration numbers are remarkably bad. Among groups who powered the 2018 Dem win, large pluralities say his handling of it makes them *less* likely to back him. But: 63% of white evangelicals say the opposite. New piece:

    .: On immigration, "Trump increasingly represents cruelty, chaos, failure and incompetence. To be sure, Dems will need their own comprehensive approach..The..unpopularity of Trump’s agenda gives them a big opening...they should try to take control of this debate."

    Just like in the Brexit vote, the highest anti-immigrant sentiment comes from people who have the least experience of actual immigrants.

    It's really striking how Trump has divided white voters. Pluralities of college educated whites, especially women, say Trump's immigration agenda drives them away from him. Noncollege whites, rural voters, and evangelicals say the opposite:

    Ted Lieu says House Dems must be prepared to tie the threat of impeachment directly to Trump's stonewalling. "If we can't fact-gather, we're going to have to use the other tools at our disposal and make sure our oversight responsibilities are respected."

    As details, Republicans are at this point willing to defend Trump, pretty much no matter how bad he gets. That could prove transformative over time, and not in a good way:

    I am so glad to see and agreeing on the idea that Trump's open defiance of Congressional oversight might be what leads to impeachment inquiry. Of course, I wish Congress was there NOW, but Trump's daring them. They MUST respond.

    In the piece below, notes that a 2009 DHS report predicted the current rise of white supremacist terrorism. I spoke to the author of that report, and he confirmed precisely this thesis, that Trump speaks to and emboldens these groups:

    “Trump’s rhetoric has excited white supremacists bc it teases the same theories that they make explicitly. Trump paints unauthorized immigrants as bloodthirsty rapists & murderers & touts their arrival as part of a conspiracy to transform the U.S.”

    This seems to be the ultimate and fastest way for the House to get the information from Executive Branch that it has the duty and right to do according to our Constitution. Otherwise, the House is stymied to enforce its requests for documents and testimony.

    New: Rep tells me House Dems must be prepared to launch impeachment inquiry in direct response to Trump's total resistance to oversight. Lieu also says House should quickly hold William Barr in contempt if he keeps stonewalling. My piece:

    Nothing but lies. Democrats are trying to get the *full Mueller report,* which your handpicked AG is denying. Still, it's good that Trump is admitting that the "no collusion & no obstruction" lie was authored by that same handpicked AG, and does *not* reflect the Mueller report.

    Bob Mueller was a great HERO to the Radical Left Democrats. Now that the Mueller Report is finished, with a finding of NO COLLUSION & NO OBSTRUCTION (based on a review of Report by our highly respected A.G.), the Dems are going around saying, “Bob who, sorry, don’t know the man.”

    Dems need to go faster. Trump's lifetime strategy has been running out the clock. He does this to dodge accountability, overwhelming law enforcement and attempting to exhaust opponents. Meanwhile the atrocities continue. Act now: this is a crisis, not a little legal dispute.

    Also key, from : "If it turns out we can’t investigate, because the White House is not complying with anything that Congress requests, then I think the caucus would support an article of impeachment on obstructing Congress to maximize our court position.” In this piece:

    Important context: Rep is a member of the House Democratic policy leadership team and sits on the Judiciary Committee. So his word on this stuff carries some weight:

    “Congress has many tools at its disposal to pressure the White House to release information or permit testimony, and potentially the most powerful among them is the threat of impeachment hearings.” -- Mark Rozell, an expert on executive secrecy & congressional oversight, to me:
