The White House lawyers argue in their 171-page brief that abuse of power is not impeachable. Let’s just say it’s h… https://t.co/Jz9fn0Onvc — PolitiTweet.org

1) The facts aren’t really in dispute. Even the President’s lawyers haven’t challenged them so far. — PolitiTweet.org

3) McConnell's move to table seems designed to protect his members from a "no" vote on including documents and witnesses for this trial, but I bet Americans will see what's really happening here. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m thinking as I’m writing this: 1) We should be rigorously prepared. 2) We shouldn’t be afraid of the facts and… — PolitiTweet.org

It's a good strategy, said one of my colleagues, to "pre-unwrap" cough lozenges to keep from making noise. There is tea, coffee, and treats in the cloakroom. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith
The President's lawyers seemed to be speaking to an audience of one. On questions of whether the Senate should call for witnesses and documents, they talked about Mueller, Pelosi, and Schiff. Sometimes it came off as a bit incoherent. They read from notes and seemed unprepared. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith
The House managers today relentlessly plowed through questions about witnesses and documents, and asked us essentially "Why WOULDN'T you want to know this? Why WOULDN'T you want to see the documents?" I agree. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith
As promised, I have some more of my notes from the impeachment trial. By 6 p.m. on the first day, you can start to see some themes: — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith
Then, two day, 24-hour marathons for presenting each side. Would you want your lawyer to be required to represent you under these circumstances? It’s outrageous and a clear sign McConnell has no intention of holding the fair trial that Americans expect. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith
Just reading proposed GOP impeachment trial rules, which are ridiculous. There’s nothing in this resolution that requires hearing witnesses or admitting evidence—which is unlike any trial I’ve ever seen. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, on Dr. King’s birthday, our job is to dream a different reality—through the power of coming together to celebrate something bigger than us—and work for freedom and justice and a nation that fulfills that promise. #MartinLutherKingJrDay https://t.co/t3tqUl7wp7 — PolitiTweet.org

Hundreds of people who would have been forced to leave this country—including many in Minnesota—are relieved by this welcome news. Glad DHS heeded our call to extend humanitarian protections for Somalia, & I’m committed to working on a long-term solution. https://t.co/8w0pFGGRVp — PolitiTweet.org

As the snow blankets Minnesota today, remaining hopeful that everyone can come back to the table soon in the interests of public safety and create an arrangement that gives workers the rights they deserve. https://t.co/jEFcvvheRq — PolitiTweet.org

In the Senate cloakrooms we now have carefully labeled cubbies to put our phones, iPads and smart watches aside while we go onto the floor. You can tell it’s hard for some of us to leave them there. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith
Looking out at my colleagues, I was struck by how rare it is that we are all on the floor together, sitting down, and focused on one thing. What would the Senate be like if we came together like this more often? — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith
Senate staff on both sides of the aisle made sure we all lined up to sign the oath in the correct order. That was the only time all day that Democrats and Republicans mixed in together. We need to mix more. — PolitiTweet.org

When Roberts came onto the floor the air changed. He looked, not pained, exactly, but as if he also felt the weight of history. — PolitiTweet.org

After lunch, the women were thinking logistics. It’s freezing in the chamber, should I bring a shawl? One of my colleagues plans to wear long underwear. The stools under our desks are helpful - the chairs of the Senate were designed for the likes of Abe Lincoln. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith
When the House managers came onto the floor, I felt the weight of history, and a small catch in my throat. It was a relief to hear @RepAdamSchiff present the articles dispassionately, clearly, and rationally. We are all wondering what the President’s lawyers will bring. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith
From where I sit, close to the doors in the second row of seats, I can see the faces of most of my colleagues: serious, focused, aware that the country is watching. — PolitiTweet.org
