House Democrats introduced a single article of impeachment during a session Monday but Republicans blocked unanimous consent for a separate effort to remove President Donald Trump under the 25th Amendment.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will impeach President Trump as she and other Democratic congressional leaders continued leaning on Cabinet members to invoke their Constitutional authority to oust him. Trump’s incitement of the mob that took over the Capitol building has made him a threat to democracy, Pelosi said. The House planned a Wednesday vote on impeaching Trump for “incitement of insurrection.” Latest updates: 2:39 p.m. D.C..

Two Rocky Mount, Virginia, police officers are on administrative leave after attending an event in Washington, DC, last Wednesday, according to the Rocky Mount Police Department.
The two off-duty officers were present at an event in DC on Wednesday, a statement the department released on Sunday said.
“The Town of Rocky Mount fully supports all lawful expressions of freedom of speech and assembly by its employees but does not condone the unlawful acts that occurred that day. Based on the available information, the Police Department has notified federal authorities and the individuals that were present at the event are on administrative leave pending review.”
House Majority Whip James Clyburn says that Wednesday's riot isn't sitting well with him since the insurrectionists knew where his unmarked office was.
