Mitch McConnell, who refused to reconvene the Senate before January 19 to allow Trump's impeachment trial to start while he was still in office, says the Senate lacks jurisdiction to hold Trump to account because he's no longer in office.

Shorter McConnell: The Trump defense was garbage and lies, but, you know, technicalities, narrow definitions and blind eyes to past impeachments.

Sen McConnell arriving at his reasoning for why he voted to acquit former Pres Trump says he believes Constitution says Congress cannot convict Trump bc he is no longer in office.
So McConnell believes it’s unconstitutional to convict Trump but he believes riot was his fault.

A portion of Highway 1 near Big Sur, Calif., collapsed this week and fell into the Pacific Ocean after heavy rains caused a “debris flow” of trees, boulders, water and mud, leaving behind a 150-foot-wide gap.

Why are we putting up with these repeated #recessions? Is that some thing we really have to put up with in our #economy? Could this be a better way to do things?:

While we're all stuck inside waiting for a #vaccine for the #coronavirus can we all agree that #vaccination is a good thing and put the silly, anti-vaccination #ConspiracyTheory to bed

The #Startup, a large publication within Medium, picked up my article about embracing #failure and as a way to mitigate disasters. It was written before #covid19 hit the US but it applies.

A question for #HealthCareProfessionals - if we are looking at a shortage of #ventilators, has anyone considered using #CPAP machines for less critical cases?
There must be many more CPAP machines than ventilators and while not ideal, would surely be better than nothing

If we have #juries made up of regular #citizens, why not #parliaments also? This is the idea @BSHennig talks about in this ted talk ted.com/talks/brett_hennig_w…

Does "holding people #accountable" after a #disaster has occurred really work? I think it has the opposite effect.
