This is pretty astounding. You also can't watch this because the U.S. Senate controls the cameras and have made sure they aren't watching the senators.https://twitter.com/mmcauliff/status/1220078694481395713?s=20 …

Just counted 21 empty seats on the GOP side of the Senate, 2 on the Dem side, a couple hours into Schiff's presentation. Some are just stretching their legs, but most are not in the chamber. Some of them have been out of there for a while.

Amen, been real disappointed in the direction she's gone, but maybe I just got too drawn into the hype before at it was always this way.I'll do it for you!
Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders has signed a loyalty pledge, promising to run and govern as a Democrat if he wins the presidency in 2020, a new requirement for candidates that largely grew out of his own 2016 campaign.
"Oh God, in any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party, but in America, we are," she said.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took aim at Joe Biden in a Wednesday tweet, criticizing the former vice president for his support of the Iraq War, his record of trying to freeze funding to Social Security and saying he'd be "open to a Republican running mate."
I mean, if there was a Republican that was pro universal healthcare, believed in climate change as a threat, wanted electoral reform, and was socially liberal, wouldn't that make a good VP? That's kinda the point of that statement. The "good" in this case being nonexistent.
It's hair splitting against someone that is incredibly easy to legitimately attack.By this argument there is no reason to complain that AOC said Biden was open to a Republican running mate, since it is, in this argument, a perfectly reasonable statement that any candidate should be proud to make. So why are people complaining that she pointed out the inarguably true fact that Biden said it?
This magical figure doesn't exist so what's the point of making the statement at all? Jesus. lol.I mean, if there was a Republican that was pro universal healthcare, believed in climate change as a threat, wanted electoral reform, and was socially liberal, wouldn't that make a good VP?

Republicans don't care about rules unless Democrats break them.
Elizabeth Warren net favorables dropped by 15 points in the Monmouth Poll
It's a crime dems haven't challenged it on the floor either.It's a crime cameras are not allowed during the trial. Full stop
Zaid is a great follow btw.
Not every waifu is for everyone. That's why they make so manyAmen, been real disappointed in the direction she's gone, but maybe I just got too drawn into the hype before at it was always this way.
They'll be pulling out 2016 election maps, showing a doctored picture of the inauguration crowd size, etc.Schiff chipping away what little soul these GOP Senators have left has been glorious to watch.
Going to be completely tuned out during the Trump lawyer days though. I would be shocked if they can even have enough material for more than a day.
@axios
NEW: Chuck Schumer said the idea of a "witness trade" that involves calling Hunter Biden in exchange for John Bolton is "off the table." Schumer rules out John Bolton for Hunter Biden "witness trade"
You keep pushing this narrative that Biden is gonna sweep the second choice of those candidates but we've seen over and over again ideological lanes aren't real in this primary.Yeah, this is the thing that seems crazy to have changed with the debate being so low-watched.
Also, Buttigieg+Bloomberg+Klob is basically +20 Biden points in waiting.

SCENE: Schumer waits for Cornyn to finish up remarks on how he heard "nothing new" from Adam Schiff.
Cornyn said they should present evidence from witnesses with personal knowledge & Schumer quips "hear, hear!"
BUT Cornyn says should have been done in the House, NOT the Senate
@StevenTDennis
Schumer then called Schiff's speech one of the 5 or 6 best he's heard since coming to Congress nearly 40 years ago.

I'm surprised at the disgruntlement about Ocasio-Cortez's remarks. I thought they were just fine.
Not only where they fine, they were accurate.I'm surprised at the disgruntlement about Ocasio-Cortez's remarks. I thought they were just fine.
