On CNN, Sen. Gillibrand floats the possibility of running Trump impeachment trial one day and working on COVID relief the next day.

“If we can't [do both] then maybe we delay the trial for a while [so] we can get Biden's cabinet up and running,” she says

"I find it hard to believe we'll get 17" Republicans needed to convict Trump, Gillibrand tells CNN

On MSNBC, Sen. Casey says it's possible Trump's impeachment trial will begin on the afternoon of Jan. 20th, immediately following Biden's inauguration.

"I hope we could have a trial that could last a few days and have it completed before the weekend is over and then we could continue working on" cabinet confirmations and COVID relief, Casey tells MSNBC

Stunned. Just stunned.

“If I walked into my place of work tomorrow and I saw this, I’d be stunned myself,” one National Guard soldier tells me after I expressed my shock in some impolite terms

Rep. Andy Kim, who worked in Afghanistan, stood with me for a few minutes and took in the scene.

You can see police set up a perimeter of barricades far away from the building that morning. I remember flashing my badge to a cop at one of these barricades, again, far away from the building. Somehow this perimeter completely collapsed in just a few hours.

You can see this perimeter in this photo I took looking out the north side of the building at 1:48, when Trump supporters first started streaming in from the Mall.

Protesters have breached the Capitol. They’re outside the Senate chamber

This is happening

Police officers are holding them steps away from the Senate chamber, which is locked. Senators are inside. I see a few confederate flags.

Senate is about to vote on the CR. Shutdown averted, for 7 days at least.

They’re going to voice vote it.

Murphy: "What if 2024 comes down to just one state? It’s a lot easier to steal just one state…what if these same people who support the Texas lawsuit decide there’s no way they won our state so let’s just throw out the result and choose a Republican?"

Murphy: "If that happens our country isn't a democracy. The American experiment is over. That's why this moment is so frightening no matter whether it's successful...that's why more than a handful of Republicans need to stand up right now"
