Thank you for setting this up. The three speaking republicans seem panicky and disorganized. Others in the room are composed and mature.
Thank you for starting this Lovendures!
Am I the only one who has tears in their eyes listening to Kent and Taylor's opening statements? I feel like the Calvary has finally arrived to save us.
Taylor's mention of his staffer coming forward to him with new information about Trump's involvement makes me think of the prediction someone made here of a new whistleblower coming forward.
A little humor for these tough times. It’s finally happening (at the house level) but his dirty dealings are going to be out for everyone to hear. No secret depositions. This is what the Republicans wanted...
Also I highly recommend following the live commentary stream from the folks at Crooked Media.

You can't promote principled anti-corruption action without pissing off corrupt people. George Kent
I watched on MSNBC. I loved Kent and Taylor. Such integrity, just the facts, and wouldn't allow themselves to be played by either party. Heartbreaking as Taylor described how Ukrainian lives were jeopardized by not receiving this promised aid from us.
The Dems did a good job. I always love how Adam Schiff presents himself in these hearings.
On today's MSNBC coverage there was a panel consisting of Nicolle Wallace, Brian Williams, Claire McCaskill, Neal Katyal, and ... wait for it wait for it ... George Conway (Kellyanne's hubby). I've never heard him speak until now, but I've known that he's been a never-Twitler. He's actually shunned any TV appearances, so this surprised me. He seemed quite unassuming.
Although they are on opposite sides politically, back in September Conway and Katyal co-wrote an editorial piece in the Wash. Post supporting T's impeachment. On this morning's broadcast Conway was visibly upset with the Rep party. Said that if you had told him 3 years ago that the Rep party would have sold itself out like this, he would have never believed you.
The George and Kellyanne marriage ... I can't figure that one out.
