    I’m reminded of a time that former Rep Duncan Hunter Senior yelled at me for reporting on his son’s alleged misuse of campaign funds. And when he told me his son would be president someday. And when he showed up to Politico offices to scold my editors for my reporting.

    BIG THIS AM: @RepAdamSchiff says that w/Trump-Ukraine-reports, "we very well may have crossed the Rubicon here.” "I have been very reluctant to go down the path of impeachment …. but ... that may be the only remedy that is co-equal to the evil that that conduct represents.”

    Inside the WH meeting @SenSchumer said to Trump: “you are using people as leverage. Why won't you open the government and stop hurting people?” Trump responded: "Because then you won't give me what I want."

    I'm still in shock. Democrats FINALLY HAD THEIR MOMENT to take a shot at Trump. Call in witnesses. Show the world what he did on Jan 6 beyond what we know. And they chose not to. All for the sake of Biden's agenda.

    Sitting above the chamber, you see the stark contrast in color btw the GOP & Dem side: the Rs are all in dark suits. Almost all white men. The Dem side is speckled with pinks and purples and greens being worn by the historic # of women. Also very ethnically diverse.
