Disclaimer: I'm going to do my best to live blog as the kids will allow but just a quick note, actual quotes I out in quotations. Anything not in quotes is me summarizing or riffing. So if you see me type something like this
Raskin: you're all morons!!
Jaime Raskin did not literally call them morons.
But if he did, I would type Raskin: "You're all morons!"
Just saying so so I don't cause any confusion.
(Also, Jaime Raskin would never do that)

This fucking guy. Also, does he believe we believe he is actually going to be really listening and not just listening to be an asshole.

I also do most of what DC does. I try to get the important things in "x" but usually its just me summarizing. If its overtly snotty be assured its my internal monologue and not a MOC

Today is a snow day and I'm going to try to watch and keep up. I have a long list of things to do around the house that will probably not get done.

Rep Meijer seems reasonable sometimes, but let the record show he came out strongly against stripping Qaren of her committee assignments. I have a home-team/Meijer store sized soft spot for him, and so far he's on the other-side-of-the-aisle Semi-Sane column for me. Edit: feel free to update me on anything overtly problematic, not just run-of-the-mill GOP stuff.

Also today is probably going to be mostly process according to what I'm seeing and the real stuff starts tomorrow.

Wondering if I was the only one who was thankful they didn’t interrupt Raskin, who had just spoke prior. I’m grateful for that sligh bit of timing and for him to be able to honor his son and be given support in that moment. Meanwhile she is worried that her first class project wasn’t even supported by those she was siding with.

Thank you! Of course the real stuff starts tomorrow. I have a doctors appointment in the morning to get the ball rolling on an ablation/tubal and then meetings all afternoon. Maybe I can talk my boss into letting me work from home in the afternoon and skip out on the meetings. I can't take the day off because my counterpart is out this week and one of us needs to be available for the phones.

DS1 declared to his kindergarten class today that “Donald Chomp is a bad guy!” I’m not sure if I should be proud or horrified

My kid is part of the reason they aren't allowed to politic in her 4th grade class right now, doesnt stop her, but I'm pretty sure 'he belongs in jail because he's an awful person and kicks puppies' is more than her teacher is willing to deal with

DS1 declared to his kindergarten class today that “Donald Chomp is a bad guy!” I’m not sure if I should be proud or horrified I’d be proud A few days after the 2016 election, my son was 2 and a half, and his daycare teacher asked the class if they knew who the new President was. Before anyone could say anything, DS shouted, “NOBODY!” The teacher said it took everything she had not to burst out laughing. Four years later, turns out the toddler was right—we basically didn’t have a President.

I’m here and mostly have a free meeting day (except of course right when it starts).
I’m here for the historical documentation. I would like him to be convicted but regardless, entering the case into the record and being on the correct side of history is very important to me.

I managed to pick up all the Legos strewn across the family room. I should vacuum and shower before they get started but instead I'm stress eating Nerds Gummy Clusters. They're way too sugary and way too good.

From things I'm reading and hearing some of the evidence presented by the House managers in the next couple of days could be quite disturbing so, take care of yourselves, friends.

My six year old wrote that if he were president, he would only help people that voted for Joe Biden. We had to have a little talk about how we help everyone, but I laughed.
