“Schedule an impeachment vote for this very night. Stay ’til dawn. Do whatever is necessary. “ theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
.@MiamiHerald also calls for Trump’s removal. “This president is incapacitated. This president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office...This president is a deranged and dangerous man.” miamiherald.com/opinion/editor…
The @washingtonpost calling for Pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th: “The president is unfit to remain in office for the next 14 days. Every second he retains the vast powers of the presidency is a threat to public order and national security.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/remov…
“Before he endangers one more American life, Trump must be removed from office. Whether through his Cabinet invoking the 25th or an emergency House hearing to impeach him followed by a Senate vote, we don’t much care—whichever is faster.”>@baltimoresun baltimoresun.com/opinion/editor…
From @syracusedotcom: “Trump is unfit to lead the country for another minute, let alone another 13 days. Congress must impeach him immediately for fomenting insurrection...If Congress won’t act, the Cabinet must invoke the 25th to remove Trump from office” syracuse.com/opinion/2021/0…
“Whether he anticipated the results or not, Trump is responsible for what happened Wednesday. He must be removed from office.” From @capitalgazette editorial board capitalgazette.com/opinion/our-sa…
In addition to Trump’s removal, @timesunion calls for resignation of “Ted Cruz, Elise Stefanik & more than 100 Republicans who, when violence erupted, were in their own process of trying to overturn the election & thwart the will of the American people” timesunion.com/opinion/articl…
Invoking Hitler and Mussolini, @NYDailyNews argues for Trump to be ousted through impeachment or the 25th amendment but doubts either will happen. “He must leave the White House on Jan. 20 standing on his own two feet. If he won’t, drag him squealing.” nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-edi…
The @chicagotribune argues for a concession from Trump and stops short of calling for his removal. “If Trump will not concede, he should resign now. His recklessness, accumulated over four years, has endangered the safety of the citizenry.” chicagotribune.com/opinion/editor…
Strong rhetoric from @thedispatch. “How much violence and chaos must our nation endure...? Trump has abused his office. He has violated the public trust. And now he has incited a violent attack on the Capitol and Congress. He must be removed.” thedispatch.com/p/impeach-dona…
Acknowledging it is “neither easy nor ideal,” @USATODAY urges invoking the 25th to remove Trump from office. “...the question is one of relative risks, and leaving an unpunished Trump in office is the greater threat. Trump appears mentally incapacitated.” usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
The @SunSentinel appealing directly to Trump’s cabinet to remove him. “Invoking the 25th Amendment is asking much of people whom Trump chose for their loyalty, but they must understand that they now owe a greater duty to their country.” sun-sentinel.com/opinion/editor…

1/ To celebrate @niemanfdn’s 80th anniversary year, we asked our alumni for examples of journalism that influenced them, their beat, their country or their culture. We’ll soon be publishing 80 answers @NiemanReports. And they’re spectacular. #journalismthatchangedme
2/ Among the joys of reading the accounts are vivid descriptions of where journalists were when they discovered the work that changed them. So much media is disposable, designed to last until the next breaking news alert. But these encounters had a rare indelible quality.
3/ @ajmacadam was 23, driving, when “The Vietnam Tapes of Lance Corporal Michael A. Baronowski” came on the radio. “I still remember where I was when I heard this story. It was night. I was driving alone—the best time to listen to the radio....This piece had it all.”
