From Bette Midler and John Legend in favor of to John Voight and Kirstie Alley opposed to, stars are taking to Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and more in order to weigh in with their thoughts on the biggest political news of the day (and, arguably, decade).

The charges levied against Trump stem from weeks of testimony related to his dealings with Ukraine and alleged impropriety regarding election interference.
