Lmao. So turns out Alexa has a “cat translator,” from their behavior to English. Asked her why mine is chewing on everything: “C’mon you do not understand this one? Your cat is saying you could do better at life.” !!!! — PolitiTweet.org

“To me, it’s a great mystery why someone so young with so much promise would prostitute himself or compromise himself so early when he didn’t really have to,” one of ⁦@HawleyMO⁩ Stanford mentors said. “But I’m not as surprised as I am depressed.” https://t.co/XEQSoIYh2m — PolitiTweet.org

Conversations with more than a dozen of Hawley’s Stanford classmates and a half-dozen faculty members who knew him all raise versions of the same question: What happened to the person they knew? Via ⁦@emilycadei⁩ https://t.co/XEQSoIYh2m — PolitiTweet.org

@shoeleatherkate I do have a spare room! It will be outfitted with a state-of-the-art deflating aerobed and comes with two cats that sleep on your pillows/face. Hope that's cool. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClaireBrandewie And here's another good one explaining how nomination votes are handled in executive session and not leg session. CRS is a treasure trove of info. Since most anything they'd want to do imminently is nominees, the distinction is imp https://t.co/sno54dEYMP — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

@ClaireBrandewie That's the easiest route to intro leg or submit cmtee reports (no mention of confirmations) In the graphs after that it explains how they can adjourn from trial mode & go into legislative session mode, it's easiest via UC, but not 'debatable' and can be done with majority vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

@TXTylerNorris @19thnews Not at all, Tyler, & sorry it came across that snarky (& why I hate Twitter tbh). Much abt impeachment procedure not set in stone & it's very possible for them to work on 2 things at once should majority want to, that's all I meant. Deleting original but posted a good CRS report — PolitiTweet.org

@ClaireBrandewie not true: https://t.co/6mmjbRPfbh — PolitiTweet.org

@shujolnyc This is about their schedule, not about a conviction. They would actually need 67 votes to convict. This CRS report is actually very helpful: https://t.co/6mmjbRPfbh — PolitiTweet.org

Since no one reads, page 22-23: "In short, a numerical majority can determine the day and times of meeting for an impeachment trial. Impeachment Rule XIII also provides that, when the trial adjourns, the Senate resumes consideration of legislative (or executive) business..." — PolitiTweet.org

If all the Senate experts* on Twitter are interested, here's a really informative impeachment guide: https://t.co/6mmjbRPfbh Also trust that Schumer and McConnell definitely know what they're doing and will make whatever they've negotiated happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

@ClaireBrandewie I'm aware. But McConnell is negotiating with Schumer on this right now. And if it comes down to it, and he can't keep his people in line, they'll confirm those they need to immediately then start the trial. — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnCornyn I know that in the Senate, if you're in the majority, if there's a will there's a way. — PolitiTweet.org
