Alexander Hamilton’s name is coming up lots on MSNBC, Fox News and CNN. "Senator McConnell, meet Alexander Hamilton," Cass Sunstein told Rachel Maddow. The articles of impeachment are "exactly what Hamilton said was the greatest danger," Alan Dershowitz told Laura Ingraham. — PolitiTweet.org

Hamilton’s name appears 35 times in the impeachment report released on Monday by the House Judiciary Committee. The majority and minority reports from the Intelligence Committee also both quoted Hamilton. Lots of R & D members name-drop him in hearings & tweet quotes from him. — PolitiTweet.org

More than 700 historians and scholars published an open letter last night urging the House to impeach Trump. It’s no coincidence that the letter mentions Hamilton six times. The signatories include Ron Chernow, who wrote the Hamilton biography that inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexander Hamilton is coming up much more in the 2019 impeachment debate than he did in 1999. The musical made him a celebrity. https://t.co/gc33G83j5I — PolitiTweet.org

He has agreed to pay back all the money, some of which prosecutors say he spent on cars, motorcycles, fake tans and jewelry. “None of those things have anything to do with the legitimate operation of a newspaper,” prosecutor Matthew Burke said in court. https://t.co/smIDr2ck6S — PolitiTweet.org

It’s hard to ignore the parallels – and warning signs for Democrats in 2020. The Conservative pick-ups in northern England show how much it matters who Dems nominate next year. Check out my analysis in today's 202 of the places that the Tories flipped: https://t.co/Xccza3F1hy. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Conservatives won in Great Grimsby for the first time since 1935, thanks to a 15-point swing from Labour toward Conservatives since the 2017 election. As BBC's political editor puts it, these are places where it would have been considered a SIN to vote for Tories not long ago. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

The Conservative victories last night were made possible by lifelong Labour voters who strongly support Brexit and detest cosmopolitan elites in places like London and Brussels. For example, Labour represented the aptly named town of Workington in Parliament since 1918. No more. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Just like here, there has been a growing urban-rural divide in the U.K. Like Trump, Johnson capitalized. Conservatives flipped seats in Labour strongholds like Darlington, North Wales, Bassetlaw and Bolsover by appealing to folks who work with their hands. https://t.co/Xccza3F1hy — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

The Conservatives won 364 of 650 seats in Parliament. This gives Boris Johnson a 78-seat majority. The Tories have their biggest majority now since Thatcher won a third time in 1987. Labour has its fewest seats since 1935. This represents a realignment: https://t.co/Xccza3F1hy — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Boris Johnson has plowed through “the red wall," securing a sweeping mandate to “get Brexit done,” by flipping seats in Parliament across fading industrial towns in England's north and midlands that the Labour Party has held since the Great Depression. https://t.co/Xccza3F1hy — PolitiTweet.org
