Presidential tirades, advisers seeking pardons, Cabinet consideration of the 25th Amendment and possible witness tampering -- @hulse sums up yesterday's blockbuster testimony from inside the room as only he can. https://t.co/IAa2sAYGvo — PolitiTweet.org

The idea is nowhere near fully baked yet but Biden is leading an international effort to create "an inverse OPEC" in which major nations try to cap the price of Russian oil to drive down Putin's revenue. ⁦@jimtankersley⁩ https://t.co/lDw7NC7NE9 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has never been seen as the most stable occupant of the Oval Office by almost anyone other than himself but today's breathtaking testimony depicted an unhinged commander in chief veering wildly out of control as he desperately sought to cling to power https://t.co/bg8DInbf6K — PolitiTweet.org

Without Meadows, Jan. 6 might never have happened, @sbg1 noted in this piece three weeks ago, a point that seems borne out in today’s testimony by his own former top aide. https://t.co/vIUuybUpcq — PolitiTweet.org

Mulvaney, Trump’s third chief of staff, tweets that the last part of today’s hearing suggesting there has been witness tampering may be the most perilous for his ex-boss: "If there is hard evidence, that is a serious problem for the former President." — PolitiTweet.org
