2:30 p.m.: Ambassador Kurt Volker, former envoy to Ukraine, and Tim Morrison, White House aide with the NSC, will testify before the House Intelligence Committee.

Also FYI Vindman, Morrison, Volker, Taylor and Kent were on the GOP witness requests list. So in case you hear anyone say the GOP weren't allowed to call witnesses.

It will be interesting to see how the networks handle tomorrow bc at the rate today is going, tomorrow's hearings are going to but up against the debate.

I know they are all probably frantically shoveling salads into their mouths and queuing for the bathroom but some of us have to pick kids up soon.

What time are they starting round 2? My kids are in bed (it's 9pm here) so I can be a bit more vehement (curse more) when I yell at my screen.

The banner on C-SPAN says the next round will begin at 3:30 EST. I'm going to be driving, and I have a chiropractor appointment, and then I'll be at home - so I'm probably going to miss most of it.

Nunes quotes Schiff from a fundraiser this weekend saying of Trump, "We will send that charlatan back to the golden throne from whence he came"
So Nunes just became a seriously huge fundraiser for Adam Schiff

Great observation from the slack thread: In a stunning lack of self awareness, Nunes claims HPSCI is running the inquiry bc Leadership don't have confidence in Nadler, while Jim Jordan is sitting two seats down from him because, and only because, Leadership don't have confidence in him

Nunes just claimed Democrats called Zelensky a liar. Is there any evidence of this? I know some have suggested Zelensky can't possibly give an honest answer to the "did you feel pressure" question but has anyone accused him of lying? Butt saving obfuscation maybe but only suggested with the utmost sympathy
