Today, the House voted to strip Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) from her committee assignments on the House Education Committee and House Budget Committee. Congresswoman Greene, a first term Congresswoman, had previously expressed support for far right conspiracy theories, including saying that school shootings were hoaxes, and supporting violent rhetoric against fellow members of Congress. The vote was 230-199, with 11 Republicans supporting the resolution.

This is the first time that a US President has been impeached twice during their presidency. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has stated that he does not plan on reconvening the Senate prior to January 19th, making it likely that the impeachment trial will take place during the beginning of President-elect Joseph R. Biden’s administration.

The House is expected to come to session and bring to the floor Article of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump, charging him with
- Incitement of an Insurrection
Today's move to Impeachment follows an attempt by the House to persuade Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment by passing HRES 21 late last night. During the vote, VP Pence released a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi indicating that he would not agree to invoke the 25th, stating that "I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution."
It is likely that there will be several rounds of debate and procedural votes prior to the final vote on the Articles of Impeachment. HRES 24 provides for two hours of debate equally divided and controlled by the Chair and Ranking Members of the Committee on Judiciary. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer estimates that the final vote will happen at approximately 3pm ET
If the vote passes, as it is expected, President Trump will become the only President to have ever been impeached twice
The Session is expected to begin at 9:00 AM ET. You can watch live online on

My wife and I have an 8 month old. Last week I was coming home from work and just as I was coming up the driveway, she came running down the driveway barefoot. She saw me and yelled at me to call 911, there was a fire in the kitchen
I asked her where our daughter was because she wasn't with her, and she said she was inside and to call 911 fast.
We live somewhere rural and response times are slow, I immediately was scared the house would go up with our daughter inside before the fire department came. I tried to run inside and she tried to stop me yelling again and again that I couldn't go in, there was a fire...
I went in, the way the house is laid out you have to go though the kitchen to get to the hallway with the nursery. There was a grease fire on the stove in a pan and the wall above the stove and the curtains nearby was catching. I put out the pan by putting a lid on and then put out the wall and curtains with the fire extinguisher. Then I immediately went to the nursery and got our daughter.
Going back outside my wife was gone, I soon found out she went down the road looking for a neighbor who's phone she could use.
But at the time, and for a while, I was really upset that her reaction to a fire had been to run out without our baby and to even try to stop me from going inside before the fire department had come. And that she put her in danger by not trying to put the fire out with a lid or baking tray over the grease fire at first when it was smaller, or trying to use the fire extinguisher. If I hadn't come home when I did I don't want to think about what would have happened
The fire department showed up but the fire was already out, and my wife returned too, driven by a neighbor. I was angry with her for the reasons I said and she just totally clammed up.
I went to stay with my brother and sister and law that night, taking our daughter. And my wife was very angry with me over it, saying the next day "how dare i leave her alone after that, she needed someone to drive her to the urgent care after injuring her feet running barefoot"
That upset me even more, that that was what she was worried about, not what had almost happened when she ran out of the house on fire without our baby. I've been staying at my brother's for about a week now. I don't know what to do, or if I was in the wrong for being so angry
AITA for how I reacted to my wife starting an accidental kitchen fire then running away leaving our baby in the house?
My M36 wife passed away 2 years ago. I have a 11 year old son named Sean. I'm doing okay with money. I have a stable income and support system. I have a friend named Kate we've been together since we were kids. She's like a sister to me although she tends to boss me around. She's introduced me to her female friends hoping that I'll settle down again. I told her I have other priorities and I'm required to focus on Sean and his health (he's diabetes). Kate thinks there's something wrong with me but Not everyone's circumstances the same. I started noticing a pattern in her behavior after she introduced me to a friend of hers. She'd tell me to leave Sean at home when we hang out and meet her friends. She'd tell me to take down any pictures that have my son and wife in it because ladies will "assume" that I'm a single dad or still married and that'd limit my chances in dating. I told her to knock it off. And she said that she was looking out for my "social" life saying I'm ruining it and exhausting myself. I stopped talking to her for days. Then I decided to let it go.
She's been insisting on bringing her friend to visit me with other friends. I agreed to have them as guests. Kate suggested I take Sean to stay with a relative since it'll be adult dinner but I refused. He was comfortable in his home and didn't wanna go. Kate was at my place before her friends arrived. I checked on Sean and told him to tell me if he needed anything before he went to sleep.
At 12:30 while I was sitting and just starting to chat with Kate's friend while Kate kept blinking at me with a smirk on her face. I got a text message from Sean telling me he wanted to use the bathroom but the door handle was stuck and he couldn't open the door. I went upstairs to check. Kate followed me. I found that the door was actually locked. I was confused I asked Sean and he said he didn't lock it. I started looking for the key that's when Kate quietly handed it to me saying she took it. I was stunned. I opened the door for Sean then I asked her why she locked the door she said that lied to her friend about me not having kids and didn't want her to see Sean. She said it was no big deal since he was sleeping but I was furious. I started yelling at her as she kept shushing me. Everyone started leaving after I yelled at Kate and cussed her out for doing this.
She blew up after her friend left and said I was an idiot cause most people don't mention kids until after months into dating. And that I didn't

GME holder here with 60 shares at like the $280 level. This question pops into my mind whenever I hear how the squeeze is over from the media or other traders. If the squeeze is actually over why are the clearing houses still restricting buying of the stock through their cash requirements? Hasn't the risk subsided if the squeeze is done and the price will only fall? What risk do they have if the short interest is actually down? What are they afraid of?
I (38M) am in the process of a high- conflict divorce. 5 years in the making after 8 years married. 5 months ago I met a wonderful woman, she has been very understanding with the situation with my soon to be ex and kids. We’ve put off sleeping over since I was still living with my wife in our house. A couple of weeks ago, the court ordered my wife to move out and we now exchange the kids every week. This was her week with the kids and my girlfriend and I decided to finally have a sleepover.
Throughout the whole divorce process I have been having trouble sleeping, and have been taking sleeping pills on and off for the past 6 months. This week was particularly hard with the kids out of the house and by Thursday I had had a total 10 hours of sleep. So I go to the pharmacy to get sleeping pills. My girlfriend has already warned me she is a light sleeper and has a strict schedule of going to sleep at 10pm. So I want our first night to go well with no disturbance from me. Secondly, my experience has taught me that I need at least 3 sleeping pills to feel the effects and even then they take a few hours to kick in. Granted, I’ve never used this particular brand but I trust my experience, given that I’m 115kg and 2,01m and don’t drink or take drugs, it might be that I’m just not that responsive to sleeping agents.
So I get to her house after a tough day in the office where I had to let go of staff. I’m sleep deprived and emotionally exhausted. We order pizza and salad and when it arrives we sit down to eat. It’s around 7pm, so I decide to take the pills then so they would have time to do their thing. We get through the salad, and by the time we get to the pizza I’m starting to feel woozy. By the end of the meal, I can’t see straight, its difficult to form sentences and I’m experiencing very strong hiccups.
My girlfriend sits me on the couch and rubs my back to help with the hiccups, and within 20 minutes they’re gone. She helps me brush my teeth and helps me into bed. It’a just after 8pm and she jumps in the bed with me and rubs my back and arms until I’m asleep.
Next thing I know, I feel a fart coming on and just let it rip. As you can guess, it was a trick my sphincter was playing on my sleeping-pill-soaked brain and I go on to make a deposit of loose change in my underpants. I jump out of the bed and run to the bathroom. I try to quietly clean up and long story short, I go through a roll of toilet paper and ruin two hand towels and the little carpet by the
