Shorter McConnell: The Trump defense was garbage and lies, but, you know, technicalities, narrow definitions and blind eyes to past impeachments.

Sen McConnell arriving at his reasoning for why he voted to acquit former Pres Trump says he believes Constitution says Congress cannot convict Trump bc he is no longer in office. So McConnell believes it’s unconstitutional to convict Trump but he believes riot was his fault.

A portion of Highway 1 near Big Sur, Calif., collapsed this week and fell into the Pacific Ocean after heavy rains caused a “debris flow” of trees, boulders, water and mud, leaving behind a 150-foot-wide gap. https://t.co/FMgmIfUIaU

Per @TheEconomist "If every eligible person in the state cast a #ballot, according to our analysis of #polling and #census data, #Texas would probably be a #Democratic state."

This headline made me laugh: "Intelligence Officials Reportedly Struggle To Brief Trump Because He’s Like A Giant Toddler" https://t.co/JmfaKEnmCk via @VanityFair

The #Startup, a large publication within Medium, picked up my article about embracing #failure and as a way to mitigate disasters. It was written before #covid19 hit the US but it applies. https://t.co/38D7FbYEn1

A question for #HealthCareProfessionals - if we are looking at a shortage of #ventilators, has anyone considered using #CPAP machines for less critical cases? There must be many more CPAP machines than ventilators and while not ideal, would surely be better than nothing
