The impending impeachment of the President is likely to reveal Republicans on Capitol Hill to be the cowards we already knew they were.

Jake Tapper and Chris Wallace both put Administration surrogates through the ringer on their respective Sunday morning shows.

An empty column with a seed of one good point buried in a bunch of nothing.

A note in the whistleblower’s complaint suggests other transcripts, like the Zelensky call, that have been buried.

House Democrats are reportedly looking at an impeachment process narrowly focused on the President’s efforts to obtain a quid pro quo from the President of Ukraine.

For the first time, it’s conceivable that Republicans will turn against the President.

A Harvard law professor makes my case better than I did.

A mysterious conversation with a foreign leader is at the center of a controversy between the intelligence community and Congress.
