Impeached!

I read the news today. Oh Boy! 

What is at risk here is the very idea of America

What is at risk here is the very idea of America: That we are a nation of laws, not of men. Those who excuse the President's conduct because of partisan loyalty betray their oath of office. But I intend to uphold mine. I voted to impeach Donald J. Trump. pic.twitter.com/4qvlOag9N5 — Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) December 19, 2019 Tonight, the House voted to impeach the President of the United States. We all feel the weight of history in this moment, but President Trump's grave misconduct left us no choice but to impeach. Now it is incumbent on the Senate to conduct a fair trial. No one is above the law. pic.twitter.com/H6CUq506gS — Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) December 19, 2019 Thank you @RepAdamSchiff https://t.co/OcyLP2WB3F — Gregg Chadwick (@greggchadwick) December 19, 2019 Someone said the Republican Party used to be a party of principle. But here’s the question: what principles led to the party producing & voting for Trump? This is not just an indic...

Love this card from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Reminds me again of the many holiday seasons that I have spent in Japan. Especially the year that I spent chasing Hiroshige in Tokyo.

Trump was the central player in this corrupt scheme

The famous question from the Watergate hearings was, "What did the President know, and when did he know it?" We don't have to ask that of President Trump. He knew everything, and from the beginning. How? President Trump was the central player in this corrupt scheme. pic.twitter.com/FQHiapeCrK — Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) December 9, 2019 You know why @realDonaldTrump didn’t send his lawyer to today’s @HouseJudiciary #ImpeachmentHearing ? Because @realDonaldTrump sent his lawyer to Ukraine instead, to cheat our elections. — Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) December 9, 2019 . @RepSwalwell : "Mr. Goldman, would you welcome the problem of having 8,000 documents given to you from the White House?" Goldman: "It would be a wonderful problem to have." Swalwell: "How many have they given you?" Goldman: "Zero." pic.twitter.com/XutMNvd8Ks — House Intelligence Committee (@HouseIntel) December 9, 2019

There Is No Planet B

Taking care of our planet, is a matter of looking after our own home. We can no longer exploit the earth’s resources—the trees, water, air and minerals—with no care for the coming generations. I support young people’s protests at governments’ inaction over the climate crisis. — Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) December 5, 2019

Powerful New Biden Ad

Image
This Biden ad will do 10m+ views on twitter tonight. Pro tip: Campaigns should stop buying TV time and start spending heavily on powerful digital ads, hard hitting, no bullshit rapid response (counter-punch) and build a cultural narrative against Trump. pic.twitter.com/NwejSFy7Cy — Michael Skolnik (@MichaelSkolnik) December 5, 2019 We MUST INVEST in our own culture strategy that is unapologetic about our vision for our country. We need the artists, story-tellers, musicians, the writers, the creators, the meme makers, the designers, the filmmakers, the DJs, the 280 character wizards, the tik tok dancers... — Michael Skolnik (@MichaelSkolnik) December 5, 2019

Val Demings (@RepValDemings) December 4, 2019 Prof. Pamela Karlan: "What has happened in the case today is something that I do not think we have ever seen before -- a President who has doubled down on violating his oath to faithfully execute the laws and to protect and defend the Constitution." #ImpeachmentHearings pic.twitter.com/FxYpfOdt5f — The Hill (@thehill) December 4, 2019 Stanford Law School's Pamela Karlan: "When Pres. Trump invited—indeed, demanded—foreign involvement in our upcoming election, he struck at the very heart of what makes this a 'republic.'"

Clear and Present Danger

President Trump has sought foreign intervention in US elections—twice. Even in the midst of this impeachment inquiry, Trump declared: not only should Ukraine investigate the Bidens, but China should, too. He poses a real and present danger to the integrity of the next election. pic.twitter.com/7u9C8Q4B52 — Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) December 3, 2019 Trump has sought foreign intervention in US elections—twice.
