The (almost) president giving a speech without talking about himself. A plan with actual details, aimed at actual problems. People arguing about priorities and squabbling about the details. It’s like a juicy orange after a long hike.

For about 30 minutes there I forgot that Donald Trump is still the president of the United States and it was glorious.

And while 10 House Republicans found their way over to the right side of history the second time around, the vast majority still are not willing to hold Trump accountable for his actions.

Donald Trump's second impeachment is, among other things, an indictment of the Senate's refusal to remove him from office last year. That's how we got here: They allowed a man guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors to remain in office.

Set aside the House members who helped to cause this tragedy. There's also a big chunk of the Republican caucus that has neither engaged in sedition nor found the courage to oppose it.
