Top Republicans want to bury President Trump, for good. But they are divided whether to do it with one quick kill via impeachment, or let him slowly fade away. ... Sources tell Axios Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would be more likely than not to vote to convict Trump — a green light for other Republican senators to follow.

Let’s stipulate that President Trump’s conduct during the mob assault on Capitol Hill was appalling. If his fiery rhetoric didn’t amount to illegal incitement, his inflaming mob passions was deeply irresponsible. Even so, impeaching him a second time was a grave mistake.

Intergenerational Care on the Bruderhof
Carmen Hinkey: My mother-in-law came to live with us when she was ninety-one years old and our house was still full of teenagers. She arrived at a time in our lives when we needed her. The opportunity to care for her provided focus for me and my husband, and allowed our children to really know their grandmother, who had always only visited. ... This year elder-care facilities have come under scrutiny, and stories of negligence and abuse have made the headlines. Typically, this is not the fault of the caregivers themselves. The condition into which institutionalized care has fallen, at least in the publicly funded sector, has appalled me for years, yet until our national healthcare system undergoes complete transformation, I fear that not much will change. An August 2020 article in The Nation titled It’s Time to Abolish Nursing Homes covers the history of institutional care and details why it has deteriorated to such an astonishing degree.

At least eleven media platforms have banned or restricted President Donald Trump and his supporters. International observers have discussed whether Silicon Valley giants have the right to silence the president and conservative Americans and what risks this policy is fraught with. Twitter has purged 70,000 accounts of Donald Trump supporters, including QAnon followers and "Stop the Steal" activists since the Capitol incident which left five dead and many more wounded. The social media giant, that was previously lauded by Trump as a tool that helped him win in 2016, has barred the outgoing president permanently, over what it called "the risk of further incitement of violence". In a related development, another major tech company, Facebook, announced that it would remove virtually all content mentioning "Stop the Steal" and alleged voter fraud in the 2020 election. The campaigns have raised concerns in the media as to whether social media companies still serve the principles enshrined in the US Constitution and guarantee the freedom of speech.
