| Impeachment The House voted to impeach President Donald Trump on Wednesday, making him the only U.S. president to have been impeached twice.
When Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed the articles of impeachment, she did so beside the lectern that was taken by a Trump supporter - who was later arrested - during the very Capitol riots that led to the President's impeachment.
It was during those riots that this text from Congressman Ted Lieu was sent, eventually prompting the impeachment.
Incredibly, Trump had to be convinced not to storm the Capitol himself, during the impeachment hearings.
Reacting to impeachment On Fox, Sean Hannity called the impeachment "nonsense" and said Sen. Mitch McConnell should "know better" than to be entertaining a post-presidency Senate trial for Trump. And Ainsley Earhardt railed against it on Thursday morning, saying "he lost the election. He’s out. Isn’t that enough?”
On CNN, Pamela Brown reported that Trump is "in self-pity mode" and "increasingly isolated." And Don Lemon torched Republicans for claiming to want "unity" in their objections to impeachment. "The mob was not interested in unity," said Lemon.
Meanwhile, The View's Meghan McCain said that Trump is still "wholeheartedly in charge" of the GOP, and that the division within the party will prevent impeachment in Senate from being successful.
Jake Tapper
CNN's Jake Tapper questioned the loyalty and patriotism of Congressman Brian Mast over his remarks on House floor during the impeachment proceedings, invoking Mast's own loss of limbs by IED to deliver his point.
Tapper faced enormous pushback and criticism over the comments, which he stands by and has doubled down on. Fox's Pete Hegseth ripped into Tapper on Thursday, causing a second round of social and traditional media attention.
In fact, it has come up a lot on Fox News, for which Mediaite's Colby Hall called them out thoroughly today.
Confederate Arrested
Kevin Seefried, the man who made headlines last week for waving a Confederate flag while storming the United States Capitol, was arrested today in Delaware. Which is great.
Trust in Media
High-level New York Post editors have instructed reporters to not use reporting from CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, and The New York Times as the sole basis for stories, according to a New York Times report.
Going forward, Post reporters will need to separately confirm the content of a story from one of the four now-forbidden sources before publishing.

Dorsey Opens Up About Banning Trump's Twitter Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey posted a statement Wednesday night defending the ban of President Donald Trump and responded to criticism the social network has received over the decision. The president’s account was permanently suspended last week and the reason Twitter gave cited violations of their Glorification of Violence policy. In his statement tonight, Dorsey said, “I do not celebrate or feel pride in our having to ban @realDonaldTrump from Twitter, or how we got here. After a clear warning we’d take this action, we made a decision with the best information we had based on threats to physical safety both on and off Twitter. Was this correct?”
He continued at length, addressing criticism of the decision as well as its impact on how the company might address their own policies and enforcement. You can read the full thread here. 6.5.0 |
