    I’ve never seen a more insufferable & pathetic group of Senators than those in the GOP. They’ve chosen to strap themselves to a corrupt con man they KNOW is guilty. They’re all cowards. None of them belong in the Senate. They should go home and grow a backbone!

    We are currently experiencing the downfall of American democracy. But that doesn’t mean this is the end of the story, because We the People are going to lift it back up on November 3. Every day until then should be devoted to the effort. Nothing, nothing, nothing matters more.

    John Bolton has only until Friday morning to go on TV, tell his story, and thereby try to compel the Senate to hear it—as a majority of Americans are demanding. RETWEET if you want him to get in front of a camera and tell America what he knows.

    Since Republicans think in terms of things being bad *only* if Barack Obama did it, Schiff replaces Trump asking Zelensky for dirt on Biden with Obama asking Medvedev for dirt on Romney. Schiff continues to be masterful at every turn.

    Schiff’s point gets to the heart of it If the message at the end of this is that did nothing wrong in shaking down Ukraine and then stonewalling Congress’s investigation of it, he will have profoundly expanded the power of any president to act without limits.
