The Senate trial officially gets underway at 1 p.m., but we’re expecting pretrial motions at 9 a.m. and responses to them at 11 a.m. Follow along in our liveblog, here.

Just as the Senate impeachment trial got underway, Josh Marshall, Josh Kovensky and Matt Shuham did an Inside briefing on what to expect, and the continually mounting evidence agains the President. They discussed Lev Parnas’ recent revelations and years-long back story, and the implications for President Trump and U.S. politics more broadly if — and probably when — Senate Republicans let him off the hook.

You can watch that briefing here.

Tomorrow, an hour before the impeachment trial gets started in the Senate, join Josh Marshall, Josh Kovensky and Matt Shuham in TPM’s New York office for a briefing on what to expect and a look back at the new evidence against the president that emerged last week through congressional document dumps and Lev Parnas’ media tour.

Satirizing president Trump isn’t easy, and it’s no secret that American comedians have struggled to do it. We have an article in Cafe today by five writers — four of whom grew up in countries that had recent brushes with authoritarianism — about what the U.S. can learn from comedy abroad. Other countries have dealt with leaders like Trump, and the circumstances that lead to his rise, before, and satirists there have had to find ways to make lemons into lemonade. This Cafe piece looks at how they did it.
