monday when the house sends to the senate one impeachment article charging trump with inciting insurrection. egged on by trump's call to overturn the election a mob of his supporters stormed the u.s. capitol on january 6th causing 5 deaths we all want to put this awful chapter in our nation's history behind us but healing and unity will only come if there is truth and accountability and that is what this trial will provide will all senators now stand or the $100.00 senators will be sworn in as jurors on tuesday with the trial scheduled to begin in earnest the week of february 8th from patient began with an on president a minimal process of this cannot be an insufficient process the former president tried to do. or damages the senate or the program

it. president joe biden has stressed the trial should not jeopardize the senate's focus on passing covert relief and we're trying hard to get up and running these crises the better the trials timing will depend on whether the senate will hear from witnesses how many hours of arguments will be allowed and if there's a way to make progress on biden's agenda simultaneously there is also the constitutional question of how to put a former president on trial a 1st for the nation really this impeachment trial is about whether mr trump will run for president again in 20241 of the punishments authorized by the constitution for conviction on pietschmann is disqualification from holding future office and that's a momentous decision to be made and i mean made with solemnity in gravity conviction would require the vote of 17 republicans only one voted to convict trump after his

a massive $1.00 trillion dollars. relief package for workers and businesses hit hard by the global pandemic but that measure following the 900000000000 dollar economic rescue in december faces opposition from republicans in a bitterly divided congress and i don't think is bill's going to make it but we need to do something so in his 2nd full day in office by going to 2 largely symbolic steps signing executive orders to expand food assistance for families who need it and raising the minimum wage for workers on federal contracts to $15.00 an hour and the american people are hurting and fake can't afford to wait they need help right now and that's the motivation behind the actions that the president will take today. i want to be very clear these actions are not a substitute for comprehensive legislative relief. but they will provide a critical lifeline to millions of families. the executive orders are stopgap
