The Impeachment trial is proceeding in the Senate, with opening arguments. Here's hoping next week will see the Senate agreeing to take witnesses and consider new evidence. And while there's unfortunately little chance of the Senate finding Trump guilty, impeachment was the right thing to do constitutionally and does have a chance of influencing swing voters.

In the comm, it's been a quiet couple of weeks, but let us know what you've been up to in the last week or are planning to get involved in next week.
