This might be the Hill the GOP dies on

Fiona Hill says Sondland was sent on "domestic political errand" in Ukraine
The former top Russia adviser in the White House said she came to realize the U.S. Ambassador to the EU was sent on a "domestic political errand" to pressure Ukraine to investigate President Trump's political adversaries.

The sober precision of these people v the giggly, wing-it slovenliness of Sondland is so striking. You can see why Trump bonded with Sondland. - Emily Nussbaum

GOP Female Misogynist
Tensions over a long-stalled Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) reauthorization spilled into public view on the Senate floor on Wednesday.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) tried to get consent to vote on the House-passed VAWA bill by the end of the year, including allowing both sides to offer two amendments...Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who is introducing her own VAWA reauthorization, objected to setting up the vote on the bill, arguing that the House legislation could not pass the GOP-controlled Senate.

Nunes really captures that old movie trope of the guy treating his wife like she's the crazy one when she finds panties in his car and accuses him of having an affair. - Schooley tweet

Trump Says He's an Expert in Watching People Make Phone Calls
In perhaps his most desperate impeachment defense yet, President Donald Trump insisted on Thursday that he is an expert in “watching people make phone calls” but still has never been able to effectively overhear calls not on speakerphone — an apparent push back to a story by David Holmes, the counselor for political affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, who recounted overhearing Trump’s bizarre July 26 phone call with U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland.

Wallace's flying frog or the Abah River flying frog is a moss frog found at least from the Malay Peninsula into western Indonesia, and is present in Borneo and Sumatra. It is named for the biologist, Alfred R. Wallace, who collected the first specimen to be formally identified. I wonder if the plain old frogs consider him a magical super hero like SpiderFrog.

Peace.

Trump dismisses Sondland's testimony: 'I don't know him very well'
President Donald Trump sought to downplay bombshell testimony Gordon Sondland delivered to impeachment investigators that tied the president ever closer to a quid pro quo involving Ukraine.
"I don’t know him very well. I have not spoken to him much," Trump told reporters. "This is not a man I know well. He seems like a nice guy though."

But But Her Emails!
North Korea had just tested an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting Alaska, and the Trump administration was scrambling to react. But it seems Nikki Haley, Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations, had lost her password for classified communications.
That’s why on that fraught July 4, 2017, she was typing away on her BlackBerry 10 smartphone, sending “confidential” information over a system meant only for unclassified material.

Sondland Gets Bad Reviews on Yelp. The Trolls are Busy!
Gordon Sondland keeps getting bad reviews...Reviewers on Yelp are taking out their anger with Sondland by leaving one-star ratings for the hotels to which he is linked.
“If you're looking for a hotel owned by a Trump supporter who gave the campaign a million dollars in exchange for an ambassadorship that he's unqualified for so he can extort foreign leaders into attacking fellow Americans, look no further,” Zee L., a Yelp user from West Hollywood, CA, wrote for his assessment of The Revolution Hotel in Boston.

Well, of course Republicans tried to trash Lieutenant Colonel Vindman

“It’s Lieutenant Colonel Vindman”: Nunes’s effort to out whistleblower is met with an epic clap-back
Nunes’s line of questioning illustrated how Republicans wanted to talk about anything but Trump’s conduct.

Hillary was right when she called Republicans the Party of Personal Destruction.

You watch Vindman, you see the American dream. An immigrant who gave back a thousandfold, who dedicated his life to making America a better place for all, who is willing sacrifice his career and safety for truth and honor and justice.
