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.

Date: 2020-01-26 11:46 pm (UTC)One thing I started this past week and want to continue into this coming week is hunting for federal candidates, state candidates, and action groups that I want to support this year. I've been using Ballotpedia a lot. It's a lot of reading/work, but I know it'll be worth it.
