My friend @HillaryClinton testified for 11 hours under oath before a GOP-controlled House committee. You know what she never did? Take the Fifth.

Clinton Endures An 11-Hour Grilling Before Benghazi Committee

As the House Select Committee on Benghazi finally wrapped up its questions Thursday evening, it was unclear if any new light was shed on the 2012 attack that killed four Americans.

If every Texan could see tonight’s #TXSenateDebate , John Cornyn’s support would be down to staff and blood relations. And I’m not so sure about staff. He was weak, jittery, and, as @mjhegar said: “Soft.”

Democrats controlled the Senate in 1988, the last year of Pres. Reagan’s term. They confirmed Anthony Kennedy, Reagan’s pick. The chair of Senate Judiciary Committee was @JoeBiden . Also, you’re a gutless, spineless fraud who’s gonna lose to @harrisonjaime .

Today, Trump held his first national security council principals meeting since becoming president some 500 days ago; this is remarkable for its delinquency. Even more remarkable is the fact the meeting only lasted 30 minutes. This is a staggering & worrying level of incompetence!

Wow. Remember the old trial lawyers' rule: never ask a question you don't know the answer to. @staceyabrams knows the Ga voter suppression bill inside and out. Not at all clear Sen. Kennedy does.

In his first questions, @LindseyGrahamSC behaves more like the chair of the Trump defense committee than the Senate Judiciary Committee. Attacks FBI and DOJ from the get-go. What an embarrassment he is.

This analysis by ⁦ @RahmEmanuel ⁩ is so smart - showing how impeachment could cost Repubs the Senate. I kinda hope Senate R’s don’t read it. But you should. How impeachment could flip the Senate

Opinion | How impeachment could flip the Senate

The trial of President Trump will likely decide the fates of a handful of Senate Republicans.

Tonight, @JoeBiden spoke about his country, not himself. He called for healing, not division. He called us to come together, not come apart. He praised democracy; did not undermine it. He is ready to be our president, and we ready to unite behind him.

As US troops stormed Omaha Beach, 14,000 Canadian heroes landed on Juno Beach 74 years ago this week. Canada is a strong democracy and a stalwart ally. There is no conceivable pro-American economic or security rationale for attacking Canada. So why is our President doing it?
