@JimVandeHei 1 big thing: "There's a huge problem, even at sophisticated companies — communicating with hierarchy, simplicity. If you can communicate better, people fundamentally make better decisions." — @JimVandeHeiaxioshq.com
@JimVandeHei "We've got the bug. We're already seeing other parts of the organization say, 'Can we get access to this platform? Can you train me?' That's the proof in the pudding." — HSBC Global Head of Reputation Lucy Yurek axioshq.com

Impeachment managers will wrap up their case against Trump by driving home the evidence they believe shows he committed the impeachable offense of “incitement of insurrection.”
House managers played clips from the perspective of “Stop the Steal” rally-goers and rioters — as well as online chatter from extremists — describing their sincere belief that Trump wanted them to invade the Capitol. axios.com/impeachment-tr…
Jamie Raskin played clips of Trump endorsing and defending violence by his supporters, including those who:
• Marched in the 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville
• Stormed Michigan's Capitol in April 2020 to protest coronavirus restrictions axios.com/impeachment-tr…
House impeachment managers will begin presenting their prosecution today, laying out their evidence—including previously unseen Capitol security footage from the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Rep. Raskin opened by stating that the evidence his team presents will demonstrate Trump was "no innocent bystander" and that he "assembled, inflamed and incited his followers" on his way to the "greatest betrayal of the presidential oath" in US history. axios.com/trump-impeachm…
Raskin urged parents and teachers to exercise caution in allowing young people to watch video clips included in the House managers’ presentation, warning they will show “shocking violence, bloodshed and pain in the nation’s Capitol.” axios.com/trump-impeachm…
LIVE UPDATES: Trump's impeachment trial kicks off in the Senate today, beginning with debate over the constitutionality of the House prosecuting a president who has already left office.
The Senate updated its organizing resolution to convene every day until a verdict is rendered, after a Trump lawyer withdrew a request to break for the Jewish Sabbath.
Senators will vote on the framework for the trial shortly after convening at 1 p.m. axios.com/trump-impeachm…
Lead impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin played a montage of Trump speaking at the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally, followed by footage of the violent mobs ransacking the Capitol.
As President Biden pushes his economic recovery plans forward, we're taking a look at the economy he is inheriting, the team he has selected and the challenges they face. axios.com/joe-biden-econ…
Joe Biden assumed office with more economic upside than any other president in recent history, @danprimack writes. If economic arrows turn red, it likely means Biden botched the blueprint. axios.com/biden-economy-…
📊The four key measures of the U.S. economy that Biden will inherit:
@danprimack@SenTinaSmith@IWPResearch@cnicolemason .@SenTinaSmith (D-Minn.): There’s an opportunity for us, as we are responding to the public health and economic emergency of COVID-19, to address systemic inequalities in things like home ownership, access to wealth, wage and employment inequality.
@danprimack@SenTinaSmith@IWPResearch@cnicolemason .@SenTinaSmith (D-Minn.): Addressing discrimination in financial services and creating more opportunities for people of color to get access to banking services, loans, access to capital is a big priority for us as we move into the majority in the Senate.
@inafried@shift7@smithmegan@RepYvetteClarke .@smithmegan's advice to the new administration on tech and Big Data in government : "This is a team sport...really prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion in these teams and prioritize these topics and these capabilities."
