Donald Trump hit a new record for tweets yesterday – something like 130. Let’s help him beat that record!

Impeachment Press Conference
Another Impeachment Thread
You know what to do. I’m going to let the kitties explore the snow.
Here We Go Again
Schiff is in the chair and the witnesses are coming in. And it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, since this thing is going to start with Chalupa Nunes.

Thursday Impeachment Hearings – Fiona Hill and David Holmes
The beat goes on. I’m grateful to C Span for putting their coverage on YouTube, so it’s easy to embed. I never could figure it out otherwise.
Fiona Hill is a Russia expert who was at Brookings before she went to Trump’s NSC. David Holmes is the foreign service political officer who overheard the famous July 26 phonecall between Trump and Gordon Sondland. He’s been described as an aide, but the political officer at an embassy is a lot more than that, in charge of learning about political goings-on inside the country and reporting to the Ambassador.
It’s raining here again today, so I have an excuse not to take the kitties out for their morning walk, but I may give it a try when the Republican questioning starts. And I think I’ll make biscuits and creamed chicken for lunch – comfort food.

Sondland After Lunch
Testimony of Gordon Sondland
I have questions for him.
Sondland is in a heap of trouble. Other testimony puts him at the center of the President’s demands for Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelinsky to announce an investigation into the Bidens. Sondland has changed his deposition to the House Intelligence Committee.
Testimony of Kurt Volker and Tim Morrison
These two witnesses were requested by the Republican minority. Not clear to me they’ll help Trump, but we’ll see. Volker is a particular enigma.

Democratic Debate Open Thread
The Democratic Debate is available on CNN.com with no login. I can’t find an embeddable version. Maybe Adam will show up with one.
Live – House Vote On Trump’s Racist Comments
Apparently one is not allowed to use the word “racist” on the House floor for reasons of decorum. And yes, I know it’s Fox. It’s the only easily embeddable feed I found.
Update: TaMara supplied a Washington Post feed. Many thanks!
