Milk and water are the only beverages allowed on the Senate floor during the impeachment trial. So why milk, and not coffee? The reason is simple: It was designed to help senators with ulcers.
From CNN's Ali Zaslav and Clare ForanAs Rep. Adam Schiff presented the Democrats’ case today, senators on either end of the political spectrum were seen taking notes, snacking and, on one occasion, filling out a crossword puzzle.

Lee was seen later chugging a glass of water and massaging the palm of his writing hand. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York, silently took out a red and grey patterned scarf and wrapped it around her neck. Sen. Joni Ernst, a Republican from Iowa, looked comfortable with a blue sweater of sorts draped over her legs like a cover.
