NEW: Looks like PM is going for an election. No 10 source says if a delay is agreed by the EU “the only way the country can move on is with an election.“ They’ll fight it on “get Brexit done with Boris” or face two referendums in 2020 on Brexit and Scotland with Jeremy Corbyn.

Next steps

If the EU agrees to a three month extension Johnson must accept "immediately"

If the EU agrees to a different period parliament can veto it

Mr. Taylor, our envoy to Ukraine, knew holding up aid to Ukraine in exchange for investigating Trump's opponents was wrong.

I asked @RepRaskin, before he walked in to Fiona Hill deposition, about the accounts they’ve been hearing from aides behind closed doors on Ukraine: “Essentially everybody is telling us the same thing, which is that the phone call was just the tip of the iceberg on July 25th.”

Guess where your Trump campaign donations are going.

Into his pockets.

The only thing as remarkable as the scale of the catastrophe Trump initiated in Syria is that he made the decision himself over just about everyone's objection at the behest of another authoritarian leader. The GOP has to wake up to the danger he poses to our national security

55% of Americans favor an impeachment inquiry for President Trump, while 39% believe there isn't enough evidence to impeach, according to latest NBC News/WSJ poll. https://t.co/SWFX2XdUEx

— NBC Politics (@NBCPolitics) October 13, 2019

Here's why impeachment can't wait.
1. Because the president has committed multiple impeachable offenses and it is Congress's *duty* to impeach him.
2. Because Dems are dumb and he could win in 2020, and impeaching him after will make it seem like trying overturn the election. https://t.co/fcBRIfQf0w
