    This is abysmal

    Trump has tweeted about the whistleblower more than 40 times, goading loyalists to expose him. Behind closed doors in impeachment hearings, Republicans seem to be following that cue.

    A few words on why Gaetz stunt to storm the SCIF to disrupt Laura Cooper's deposition is a VERY serious national security problem. Note, I worked in that SCIF for HPSCI and handled cybersecurity issues while there.

    I don't understand how William Taylor could return to Kyiv as acting US ambassador now, after his own White House called him a "radical unelected bureaucrat" But I'm not sure that's a surprise to him

    In the normal pre-2016 world, the White House would not publicly attack it's chief of mission. But if it did, the secretary of state would be threatening resignation. Then again, the secretary of state would have resigned over the recall of Marie Yovanovitch. Things get muddy

    “He needs to lawyer up,” said a former official with NSC experience, who did not work with Eisenberg. “He has gotten himself involved way too much.”

    “When we're dancing with the angels, the question will be asked, in 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact? Did we stand on the sidelines and say nothing? Did we play games?” -Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., Feb. 27, 2019.

    “The cease-fire agreement reached with Turkey by Vice President Mike Pence amounts to a near-total victory for Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who gains territory, pays little in penalties and appears to have outmaneuvered President Trump#.”

    Will never forget Cummings telling Wilbur Ross at the end of one hearing: “I felt like you were trying to pull a fast one on me, I’ve got to be honest with you, man."

    For TPM prime: I wrote about Cummings' probe into the Census citizenship question — an issue that didn't always get the attention it deserved. Cummings' insistence that it be a priority after Dems retook the House showed his commitment to voting rights
