Democrats unsuccessfully sought Republican support on Monday for a resolution to nudge
Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to strip Trump of presidential powers as an alternative to the harsh stain of impeachment for a second time (The Associated Press).
Lawmakers do not expect Pence to move against Trump, which would require support from a majority of a dwindling number of Cabinet secretaries as Inauguration Day approaches. While Republicans blocked Monday’s push to use the 25th Amendment, a small but vocal group of House Republicans appeared willing to support impeachment (The Hill). Pence will attend Biden’s inauguration, as will three former presidents. Trump says he will not be there.

Like me you are probably looking over photos of supposed Trump supporters breaching the ramparts and storming the Capitol yesterday. That is if you can find them. To “protect” us from viewing these incredibly “disturbing” scenes, Twitter has helpfully announced that it will severely restrict their distribution across its network. We can all rest easier, I suppose. Though even memory-addled Americans may recall the free-for-all in posting BLM and Antifa violence on Big Tech’s Big Platforms.
“Gee that’s not fair! Twitter is discriminating!”
Conservative politicians and “responsible” Beltway libertarians are wringing their hands over the supposedly horrible optics of people breaking through police lines and violating that Most Holy of Sanctuaries, the Senate Floor! The religion of America is politics and any violation of the sanctity of that Holy Body is to be condemned.

Rochelle Walensky, President-elect Joe Biden s choice to run the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Wednesday that she intends to resume public briefings, which have been all but halted at the agency during the coronavirus pandemic. I think communication has to be key here, she said on CNN s New Day. The public needs to know what we know, they need to know the good, and there will be some bad news, I m certain of it, they need to know that too, so yes, I very much plan to do so, she added.
