Oh, the famous "memory refresh"

Diplomat says he told Ukraine that aid was conditioned on announcing investigation in new testimony
US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland amended his previous closed-door testimony with House impeachment investigators to say that he told a top Ukrainian political aide that the release of US security aid was conditioned on Ukraine publicly announcing an investigation that would help President Donald Trump politically.

It's all fun and games until Gordon Sondland realizes that going to prison isn't worth it and rats out your greasy little Ukraine shakedown scheme and do you hear that hammering sound? it's another nail in the impeachment coffin bro. - Jeff Tiedrich

Democratic Party Drama
Senate Democrats are nearly united in their opposition to Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.), the scion of their party’s most fabled family, in his bid to unseat Sen. Ed Markey (D).
Kennedy, a 39-year-old graduate of Harvard Law School, is putting his political career on the line by taking on a Democratic incumbent who has been a fixture in Congress since 1976.
