public attention on presidential misconduct, but they are split over
impeachment.
Impeachment without the certainty of conviction in the senate would be a political disaster.
Pence would not be an improvement.
The house must continue to investigate.

Mark Landler and Maggie Haberman at NYT > Politics - 2 hours ago

much more he can shake up a country that is already roiled by the Brexit

Walking away would be a no deal Brexit and a hard border in Ireland.
The troubles would return.

Biden Will Run on Fear. Trump Will Run on Hope.
Ian Welsh at Ian Welsh - 1 day ago
The reason one should run for office is to act on one’s beliefs about what
a good society is. When people, or a party (Democrats) run on whether they
