Weekly Check in December 15

[tassosss]

It's been a rough week with elections in the UK where a Tory majority was elected. In the US, the House Judiciary Committee has leveled two articles of Impeachment against Trump. We'll see where it goes. Also, for those following along at home, the next budget deadline is Friday Dec 20 for keeping the government open.

In comm news, as you've probably seen tanaqui  is going to start up a sister comm for UK actions in the wake of the election and is looking for co-mods and name ideas.
