Why impeachment is happening now
Democrats in the House went, in the span of a few days, from firm resistance to the idea of impeaching Trump, to launching full-steam-ahead into impeachment proceedings. It may seem disorienting, but there was an internal rationale to it all, and it goes far beyond Hunter Biden and Ukraine. My story on how it happened behind the scenes is here.
In the comment section of last night’s newsletter, someone asked me how they could donate to vulnerable Democrats who have called for impeachment. I don’t suggest, endorse or oppose you giving your money to those folks, but if you do want to, the way to do it is here. The group Data for Progress set up a fund that will split donations among all the frontline Democrats who have called for impeachment.
Speaking of money, my book, We’ve Got People, has been updated with an index, so if you procrastinated buying it, your gamble paid off. The new version is here and it’s also now on Audible.
