- “Leave it to the states” just became “leave it to the dictator”.
- Jesus Christ on a pogo stick.
- He. Didn’t. Answer. The. Question. The question was about parents protecting their own kids from measles. The question he answered was about “stop the spread”. He’s dodging while pretending not to dodge.

- Judge Luttig is right.

- I don't even like this particular MoC and that does not matter at all, what matter is is: Is impeachment warranted? (Clearly yes.) Are these articles of impeachment undermining that goal somehow (poorly drafted, etc)? (I don't think so.)
- “The library’s staff is recognizing Robert Newlen, the principal deputy librarian who was Ms. Hayden’s No. 2, as acting librarian until they get direction from Congress” 👏👏👏
