Expected to testify are William Taylor, the top diplomat in Ukraine, and George Kent, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian affairs.
The hearings are scheduled to begin at 10:00 EST. You can watch live online on CSPAN or PBS or most major networks.
Reportedly, today's hearing will follow a unique format, and will look/sound a bit different to those of you that are familiar with watching House hearings.
The day will start with opening statements from House Intel Chair Adam Schiff, ranking member Devin Nunes, and both witnesses, William Taylor and George Kent.
Opening statements will be followed by two 45 minute long continuous sessions of questioning. The first will be led by Chair Adam Schiff, followed by Ranking Member Nunes. The unique aspect here is that both the majority and minority will have staff legal counsel present, with counsel expected to present many, if not most, of the questions. Chair Schiff and Ranking Member Nunes are free to interject their own questions (during their respective times) as they wish.
Following the two 45 minute sessions, each member of the Intel Committee will be afforded the standard 5 minute allotment of time for their own questions. The order will alternate between Dem/GOP members.
Today's hearing will conclude with closing statements by Chairman Schiff and Ranking Member Nunes, and is expected to come to a close around 4pm EST
Today the full House of Representatives will debate and vote on the articles of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump.
On Tuesday the House Rules Committee announced the parameters of today’s impeachment debate.
The Rules Committee approved six hours of debate on the House floor, which will be divided equally by Democrats and Republicans and will be led by the House Judiciary Committee leaders. The House will also have one hour of debate before taking the procedural vote to approve the rule governing the debate.
The House will then vote on the two articles of impeachment on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. No amendments will be allowed. Finally, The House Rules Committee has allowed for the House to approve a resolution naming impeachment managers after the articles of impeachment have been passed.
Currently the vote is expected to take place some time between 6pm-8pm EST
If Trump is impeached, the process will then move to the Senate, where a trial will be held to determine whether Trump is guilty of the charges outlined in the Articles of Impeachment.

The chairmen of three House committees subpoenaed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Friday over his failure to produce answers about Ukraine.
"Pursuant to the House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry, we are hereby transmitting a subpoena that compels you to produce the documents set forth in the accompanying schedule by October 4, 2019," the chairmen of the House Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and Oversight committees wrote in a letter to Pompeo.
In addition to the subpoena, Reps. Adam Schiff, Eliot Engel and Elijah Cummings informed the top US diplomat in a separate letter that they had deposed five State Department officials who have been mentioned in relation to the inquiry -- Ambassador Marie "Masha" Yovanovitch, Ambassador Kurt Volker, Deputy Assistant Secretary George Kent, Counselor T. Ulrich Brechbuhl and Ambassador Gordon Sondland.

The Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee moved to intensify its investigation of Republican President Donald Trump on Thursday, as lawmakers edged closer to deciding whether to recommend his impeachment.
The 41-member panel met to debate a resolution allowing it to designate hearings as impeachment proceedings, subject witnesses to more aggressive questioning and quicken the pace of an investigation that is expanding into areas that could prove politically explosive for both Trump and Congress.
Committee members also hope that approving the resolution will dispel lingering confusion within the House Democratic caucus about how to describe the investigation.

... keep reading on reddit ➡I texted her: "Oh pun the door!"
Long story short my sister in law has always hated my son. He isn't my husbands child as I had my son years before I even knew my now husband. My husband loves my son and raises him as his own as my son's father died after being hit by a drunk driver. My husband loves my son, takes care of him, and sees him as his own child. His family does as well all except his sister. She has always made comments on how he is just pretending because he isn't his son to her. Well we just welcomed a baby girl last week! She came to town to meet her niece. She was here for less than 2 hours before saying "Isn't it great to have an actual child? You are actually a father now! Not just playing one with a bastard child!" I was LIVID I told her to get the hell out of my house. My husband grabbed her bags and threw them out the door into the snow. She looked at him crazy and said "You're just going to let this bitch kick me out for telling the truth?". He told her that she needs to either accept all of his children or to never speak to him again. She started crying all hysterically and left. His parents called and asked what happened. She was at their house expecting to stay there till she goes back home. We told her and they were livid. Kicked her out and told her to grow up. So now she is freaking out on facebook telling lies and trying to attempt to make herself look like I turned the whole family against her and now she is forced to pay for a hotel and be all alone. I have people messaging me and my husband. A lot of people hear our side and then side with us... but some say I need to stop being a sensitive bitch. So are we the assholes?
