Sen. Lamar Alexander's Democratic colleagues are 'disappointed' with his no-witnesses vote, see a silver lining

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) announced Thursday night that he will vote against calling new witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial, but he also said Trump's actions were "inappropriate." His decision means there will likely be at most 50 votes for witnesses, and since few people think Chief Justice John Roberts would break a tie, Trump's trial is expected to come to a swift end. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) told CNN's Anderson Cooper he's "very disappointed" in Alexander's decision, though it appears the GOP senator "essentially said that the House case has been proven but it doesn't rise to the level of impeachment." Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) told CNN's Chris Cuomo that he's also "deeply disappointed" in Alexander's decision to allow "the first impeachment trial in history that has no witnesses at all, and it's hard to imagine that this is a fair trial under those circumstances." On the other hand, he said, it's "refreshing to hear somebody on the other side describe it as inappropriate." Democratic…

Watch A Rock-Climbing Caroline Polachek Sing “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings” On Kimmel

Lately, Jimmy Kimmel Live has been providing a great forum for culty indie stars who want to make big, theatrical statements on television. Two nights ago, for instance, masked cowboy Orville Peck made his Kimmel debut. And last night, the show featured a strange and unique performance from Caroline Polachek. Polachek, formerly of Chairlift, released her solo debut Pang a few months ago. On Kimmel last night, she sang the twinkling single "So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings," and she did it in a way I've never seen before. Polachek performed without a band, over what seemed to be a backing track. And she did it while climbing around on a giant, slow-rotating, presumably fake boulder. Also, she dressed like a superhero whose power somehow involves little white ropes. She pulled it off. Polachek is a magnetic performer, and she made great use of her one big prop and some truly dramatic lighting. She managed to project credible pop-star presence while also seeming like she was making fun
