I'll be off this week as we continue to get mom's care sorted out.
That said, what we are doing this wk would have been literally impossible w/o everyone's kindness and generosity, including getting overnight help a couple times this week so I can sleep more than 2hrs a night.♥️
I tried to go through each donation and say thanks in the last week or so but it has been difficult to start one thing, even simple, and finish it. If I havent said thank you individually: please know I really am grateful. I hope one day your compassion is rewarded & returned.
I should also note how lucky I am to have an employer who has been supportive of my time and needs. Its part of why I dont mind burning midnight oil when I do! If you enjoy my reporting and you haven't told your friends about @CourthouseNews I hope you will.
For DC reporting this week and technically all of the weeks, the newly assembled team here will no doubt hold it down, so do be sure to follow @KailaPhilo, @samhawk81 & of course, @JackRodgersCNS.

Live thread starting now on Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
As it is done in the Senate, we start with a prayer from the senate chaplain. Sen. Patrick Leahy is presiding and begins with the pledge of allegiance.

We're off.
.@SenSchumer begins with procedurals, tonight we can expect two 10 minute breaks, and a 45 minute dinner break around 6pm ET. Recall: Impeachment managers have 16 hours for arguments, it is not expected they will use all of them over the next two days.

TODAY: Just before 1PM, proceedings for the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump begin with senators holding a 4 hour debate on whether it is constitutional to impeach a former president. Then, a vote on that question to follow.
@CourthouseNews
Now, if a vote is reached that says this trial is unconstitutional, it could end the trial right here. But a similar procedural vote was triggered by Sen. Paul (R-KY) last month on constitutionality and it failed, 55-45.
Signs point toward holding the trial. If so, after today, the schedule is: 16 hours spanning 2 days to present arguments for house impchmt mgrs and then 2 days for Trump's defense team to present.
Lawmakers then have 4 hrs alloted for q's in writing, for either side.

Susan Rice, Biden's domestic policy adviser: "Private prisons profiteer off prisoners and are found to be less safe for correctional officers and for prisoners."
Rice: "President Biden is committed to reducing mass incarceration while making our communities safer and that starts with ending the federal government’s reliance on private prisons."
What will the Biden admin do to address distrust around law enforcement and policing among Black Americans?
Rice says in coming weeks the administration will have more announcements about reforms to policing, so "stay tuned for that," she says.
