Here is all the footage (over 13 minutes) (what was posted above in tweets parts one and two) In a single youtube on the cspan channel

part two

Update: the Orthodox attorney on Trump's team said he withdraws his request to adjourn for the Saturday Sabbath. He said he thinks the trial should continue on Saturday, and that another/others in the defense team can take his place on Saturday. That would mean that that trial would meet Saturday, and maybe take Sunday off? To be determined, subject to change, etc. Also FYI, the reason they wanted the trial to convene daily at noon... was so that the Senate could do regular Senate business in the mornings -- such as working on legislation, confirming cabinet nominees, etc.

Impeachment Trial schedule The impeachment trial begins Tues. Feb. 9th - starting daily at 12 noon Eastern. (Some sites say that it starts at 1:00pm Eastern on Tues. Feb. 9th, and then it starts at noon Eastern daily thereafter.) They will adjourn Friday Feb 12 before sunset, due to the religious obligations of an Orthodox Jewish attorney on the case. They will reconvene Sunday Feb 14 at noon. -- update ... Update: the Orthodox attorney on Trump's team said he withdraws his request to adjourn for the Saturday Sabbath.

Robert Nixon, who is the son of the late All My Children creator Agnes Nixon, is also an executive producer. I hope he can put some of his mother's spirit into the new series.

^ Bruce Springsteen commercial for Jeep that aired during Superbowl. Same vid on his twitter account: https://twitter.com/springsteen/status/1358606430383689728 I would post this in the Music/Movies section if there was a Springsteen thread, but there isn't. And... regardless ... This commercial has Springsteen talking politics, so I'll just post this here in the politics thread. W.T.F. this this? Red and blue getting all chummy after the sh!t that's happened? Why is New Jersey Springsteen wearing a cowboy hat? And this is not the Springsteen I know and love, has he sold out ? And again, I ask W.T.F. this this? Red and blue getting all chummy after the sh!t that's happened? Additional scathing comments on southpaw's twitter thread. (Chrysler/Jeep's corporation changed its name to "Stellantis"). This is an interview with Stellatlantis' chief marketing officer about how the commercial came to be: https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/bruce-springsteen-super-bowl-commercials-jeep-1234902575/ He claims Bruce sincerely did it to heal the country but ... I still say WHAT?

Yeah this is a plan for checks to children - (eventually monthly checks?) Separate from / in addition to ... the one-time $1,400.00. I could be wrong but that's how I read it.

This is really important to note. This is happening even in Georgia. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/02/politics/georgia-voting-gop-state-senate/index.html

a new Saturday Night Live sketch on people who don't follow protocols. (about a covid pod watching the superbowl but ...) It's actually quite on point. Sadly there are people like this. Not a spoiler but I put it behind a spoiler tag, in case comedy feels odd when discussing this serious matter.

https://uphill.thedispatch.com/p/uphill-aocs-january-6-account This really is a good analysis of what AOC actually said and the many ways in which the press misinterpreted it and wrote about it.

The Senate vote is non-binding but it's the start. It now goes back to the House and could take weeks to finalize, and then it goes back to the Senate again. Details here: https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/senate-approves-budget-bill-as-harris-casts-tie-breaker-vote/
