IMPEACHMENT

Jennifer Williams notes

JENNIFER WILLIAMS' handwritten notes reflect that Zelensky mentioned 'Burisma' on the July 25 call, and she doesn't know why it's not in the White House summary.

Q: So you wouldn’t have written that down if it hadn't come up during the call. Is that right?
WILLIAMS: Correct.

testimony Morrison

TIM MORRISON: Trump told Sondland that "President Zelensky must announce the opening of the investigations." Later, Morrison added: "There was no quid pro quo, but President Zelensky had to do it and he should want to do it."

Kamala & al vs Barr

NEW >> KAMALA urges DOJ IG to investigate Barr.

"Cyber exploitation."
No victim-blaming, says Harris.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif) has a better — and less problematic — phrase for "revenge porn." https://t.co/2BccsoLri6 via @HuffPostPol

Tim Ryan, when asked what Biden can do to increase enthusiasm, said we all just got spoiled by Obama running a campaign people were excited about.

Finally – real questions on why Pete fired the first black police chief & didn't discipline any of the racist cops – and the answers …. are not good!

Also, Pete's PR exec Lis Smith kicked the reporter off Pete's bus for asking these questions. https://t.co/B9cXmirPqn

This is an important victory for families of gun violence victims, who deserve their day in court.

For over a decade, gun manufacturers have been shielded from liability when they act with negligent disregard for public safety.

It's time we hold the gun industry accountable. https://t.co/O7vHBbCGEo

The "Christmas tree" originated from pagan traditions (and Romans' Saturnalia), and there is nothing inherently Christian about celebrating with a tree. https://t.co/gOpId2usBp

New Deal caused the Great Depression did it? Let's look at unemployment…
in 1929: <5%
in 1930: 8%
in 1931: 15%
in 1932: 23%
in 1933: 24%
—— New Deal enacted
in 1934: 21%
in 1935: 20%
in 1936: 16%
in 1937: 14%
—— New Deal scaled back
in 1938: 19% https://t.co/LhT6ZpWvtv
