Noted some call today Day 3 of the trial while others say it's Day 4. Guess it's because the Guardian isn't including the day on the rules as day 1. Early today it confused me.

U.S. Senate: Impeachment Trial (Day 4)
C-SPAN
The Senate impeachment trial of President Trump continues with opening arguments from House managers and the President’s defense team.
That video has acted as my sitter today. It's about finished for now so GOP senators can go and struggle with their consciences some more. Some will consult God, no doubt. ;-)

4m ago 06:50 Lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff warned that the Trump administration’s freeze on Ukrainian military assistance jeaopardized the crucial alliance between Washington and Kyiv.
“Colleagues, this is how alliances wither and die,” Schiff said. “This is how Russia wins.”
Schiff noted that the Trump administration backed Ukrainian military assistance in 2017 and 2018, but he said the White House had abandoned that support last year because officials were prioritizing the president’s electoral prospects.
“If our allies cannot trust us to stand behind them in a time of need, we will not have a single ally left,” Schiff warned.

6m ago 11:41 Biden campaign on Trump defense: ‘We didn’t realize that Breitbart was expanding into Ted Talk knockoffs’
Joe Biden’s campaign has responded to allegations by Trump’s defense team that he pushed for the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor to benefit his son.
The Biden campaign’s rapid-response director Andrew Bates said in a statement to reporters that Trump’s defense was pushing a “conspiracy theory” that “has been conclusively refuted”:
The New York Times calls it ‘debunked,’ The Wall Street Journal calls it ‘discredited,’ the AP calls it ‘incorrect,’ and The Washington Post Fact Checker calls it ‘a fountain of falsehoods.’ The diplomat that Trump himself appointed to lead his Ukraine policy has blasted it as ‘self serving’ and ‘not credible.’ Joe Biden was instrumental to a bipartisan and international anti-corruption victory. It’s no surprise that such a thing is anathema to President Trump.
