As usual for a Saturday post, I’ve written this Friday afternoon. If a ton has happened since time of writing that makes yesterday a distant memory, here’s what the world looked like then:
Tommy Lasorda passed away.
Betsy DeVos has resigned.
Elaine Chao has resigned.
Mick Mulvaney has resigned.
Hope Hicks will be leaving next week.
Ben Carson was trending because people are making fun of him.
Trump remains divisive.
Tucker Carlson has been abusing this audience with
Biden says he’s been saying that Trump is not fit to lead for more than a year. “That’s why I ran,” he said today.
Reported domestic single-day COVID-related deaths topped 4000 for the first time.
Kim and Kanye are splitsville.
No one knows where Melania is.
Ted Lieu announced that he’s bringing articles of impeachment on Monday.
This came after Nancy Pelosi has asked Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and later demanded Trump resign. Doesn’t look like either will happen.
But the impeachment articles on Monday and Ben Sasse saying that he is willing to consider convicting in the senate. We can’t forget that Mark Kelly has replaced Martha McSally in John McCain’s old seat.
Ossoff and Warnock may be sworn in next week.
They need only 66 votes because David Perdue of Georgia bounced a few days ago when his term expired. Kelly Loeffler is still the appointee until they certify the votes in GA.
I have all kinds of news feeds set up to inform me of developments throughout Shabbat.
