    Whoa! Cooper just said that since she testified in private, her staff has brought to her attention emails and other information that show Ukraine was inquiring about the suspended aid on July 25, the same day as the Trump-Zelensky call. This is a month earlier than we thought

    NEW: I got ahold of a draft copy of the House Judiciary Committee's resolution laying out impeachment procedures and due process for President Trump. It is likely to get a vote this week. Here's what it says:
    Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Democrats on the committee believe the resolution will allow the panel to speed up its work.

    Quite a line from @MittRomney: "Does anyone seriously believe I would consent to these consequences other than from an inescapable conviction that my oath before God demanded it of me?"

    House Judiciary Dems are on Capitol Hill today prepping for what is likely to be a packed and consequential week. Among other things, they are huddling with Laurence H. Tribe, the constitutional law professor at Harvard, to discuss impeachment.
    The Rayburn House Office Building is one of the spaces where the final articles of impeachment are being incubated.

    McConnell, just after the Senate votes to limit debate on Amy Coney Barrett: "A lot of what we’ve done over the last four years will be undone sooner or later by the next election. They won’t be able to do much about this for a long time to come."

    NEWS: Sean Patrick Maloney, the chairman of the DCCC, just called Republican Mike Lawler to concede his Lower Hudson Valley race. This is a stinging loss for Democrats, and Maloney in particular, on a night when the party otherwise faired better than expected.

    @SenJohnKennedy at the break: "I've learned a lot. Everybody has. Senators didn't know the case. They really didn't. We didn't stay glued to the television. We haven't read the transcripts." Says he has been through the written briefs in the case twice.

    This is a remarkable statement from Murkowski: "I have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the Senate. I don’t believe the continuation of this process will change anything. It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed."

    Searing statement from John Danforth, former R Senator from MO who championed Hawley in ‘18 “Lending credence to Trump's false claim that the election was stolen is a highly destructive attack on our constitutional government.  It is the opposite of conservative; it is radical.”
