Why would a private citizen have to talk to the OMB for 45 minutes over the course of one day?

Yeah, the fact that Nunes hasn't been held to account for his many many terrible actions is a real indictment of our system of governance
Hate to sound like a liberal defeatist, but my anecdotal takeaway just from talking to people is that even most Democrats have shrugged off the impeachment proceedings and people are where they are on Trump. Doubt this changes anything regardless of how damning it is.
just saw that Kamala Dropped out
Thank you Kamala. You were a great candidate. Keep trying to improve yourself and your state

Well, see, Rudy knows corruption.
He's been a great crime fighter," President Trump said of his personal lawyer. "He looks for
corruption wherever he goes."
The polls don't even support this line of thinking. most of the COUNTRY is pro-impeachment at this point (51-49 ish?), let alone MOST of the left.
Probably already posted, but have you all seen this?
The Hill is doing damage control in the wake of the release:

Edit:
Those colors are very Vox... and horrible.
Like 80% of people haven't even seen more than a few headlines on this whole scandal.
He's only back down to 16% as you put it because of an overall strengthening of Bidens recent numbers. That isn't Sanders being back down, that's Sanders overall position having improved since the heart attack. Especially if you look to the early states where Biden isn't running up the score on his national percentages.
The polls weren't outliers in that they have accurately reflected his uptick in and new position in relative performance, something that has mostly held as they all have been depressed nationally to the enrichment of Biden and Bloomberg's having hit 4%.
Read the Executive Summary of the report and it's as damning as you would imagine, highlighting presidential misconduct with the bribe/extortion of Ukraine and also obstruction of justice. Mention of witness intimidation as well.
The actual report is 300 pages long, going to wait until I get home to read that.

That would explain why he was sweating like a guilty man about to get caught, he actually was.
This pisses me off so much because this type of echo chamber, pay for play, AstroTurfing by Op-Eds has been around for ever, its why a lot of these type of reporters exist to be paid by lobbyists and think tanks to advance policy into the mainstream in papers that people trust. It sickens me that there isn't more oversight into opinions that stink of being a propaganda piece. Its being done right now to sway people away from medicare for all by big pharma.
If they focus on Solomon, they eventually bring back to Toensing and diGenovo as well as Hannity.
We're realists. We know the senate gop doesn't give a fuck and trump won't resign. It's not "shrugging it off" it's just realizing the gop is now a trump cult of personality. So yeah, we know the house impeachment will happen, and that's it. Still need to put in the work to beat trump next fall.
those who still think the gop or trump have any ability to do the right thing are fooling themselves and are honestly pretty stupid.
I literally don't get who likes her. Suburban moms in the Midwest?
Harris dropping out already is wild.
"No bullshit" sells. It always has. She's not my candidate, not by a long shot, but she projects "what you see is what you get".
"straining to prove something when there is evidence of nothing" so much projection.
It's weird how the whole strategy comes down to this. Just deny.
It's actually a bit more clever than that. It's all about projection of your own faults onto your enemy, and it's incredibly effective when it comes to muddying the truth, especially when you're also constantly working on keeping up an us v. them dynamic among your supporters.
see: Karl Rove
White conservadems that value electability over everything but also see Biden clearly past his best-used-before date. If she can have a good debate I will donate again!
One of the most frustrating things about this cycle has been how you either buy in 100% into Bernie or Warren's ideas even when they are nonsense, or you are a Republican. Moderate ideas have a seat at the table too.
Democrats can be the popular party and do popular things and keep winning big so we can do more popular things. Responsive government is good!
New poll: Virginians support much of Democratic agenda in General Assembly
Fun stuff.
Voters support:
84-10 (+74) universal background checks for gun purchases
76-14 (+62) "red flag" laws
57-30 (+27) an assault weapons ban
73-10 (+63) the Equal Rights Amendment
68-15 (+53) regulations designed to slow down climate change
66-24 (+42) raising the minimum wage to $15/hr over several years
59-16 (+43) reducing prison population and prison racial disparities
53-30 (+23) making it easier for a woman to obtain an abortion
And then, just as if to remind you that nobody's perfect, only 38% support reversing right-to-work laws, compared to 43% who are against it. Bastards.
Oh and Trump has a 32-51 approval rating lololol. "Virginia's a blue state anyway," I can already hear them crying.

So Harris finally dropped out. PoliERA and Twitter should be happy.
And now we just need to get Booker and Castro to drop out, so we can completely eradicate people of color from the Democratic race before Iowa. Yaay! And people wonder why black turnout is down...
But yeah there was no way after Politico, NYT, and Wapo all dunking on her in a single week that she was going to survive. It's a shame she got pushed out of the race when far inferior candidates are still in, allowed to just exist without the media forcing them to drop out.
