President Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives just one week after encouraging his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol and disrupt Congress as they tallied Joe Biden’s Electoral College win. He is the first president to be impeached twice. Privately, many Republican members said that while they supported impeachment, they were worried about their physical safety and the political fallout from denouncing a president who remains popular among the base. Only ten Republicans joined House Democrats in voting to impeach. President Trump’s ban from Twitter means that for the first time in four years, Washington is unaware of how he’s processing the current news cycle and the end of his term. With President-elect Joe Biden days away from assuming the presidency, he’s preparing to tackle the dual crises of COVID-19 and an economic downturn. How quickly the Senate moves to take up impeachment will have a direct impact on how efficiently the Biden administration is able to move through their agenda. Annie Linskey, a national political reporter at The Washington Post, Anita Kumar, White House correspondent for POLITICO, and Sarah Wire, congressional reporter at The Los Angeles Times, share what the mood is like in the West Wing and what happens to President Trump’s grip on the Republican Party after he leaves office. Throughout his time in office, Donald Trump's actions have raised many questions about the presidency. Particularly, since he broke with America’s proud tradition of a peaceful transfer of power when his supporters attacked the Capitol. Today, a militarized Washington, D.C. stands prepared to address growing security concerns ahead of Joe Biden’s inauguration. Barbara Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia Miller Center, puts Donald Trump’s presidency into context and expands on how he changed the presidency, for better or worse. Also, the insurrection has highlighted the role social media platforms have in the dissemination of conspiracy theories and lies. Many of those who participated in the violent attack were involved in conversations on Twitter and Facebook that falsely claimed that the election had been stolen from President Trump. While Trump has been banned from several platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, the lies and rhetoric he shared with his followers has not disappeared. Darrell West, senior fellow at the Center for Technology Innovation at The Brookings Institution, and Kevin Roose, technology columnist at The New York Times, describe how individuals become radicalized online and where they go when they’ve been deplatformed.

Hello, and welcome to This Day in History. Here’s what happened on January 2nd. With President-elect Joe Biden promising to hire a diverse staff that, as he says, “looks like America,” we look back to this day in 1890, when President Benjamin Harrison hired Alice Sanger as the White House’s first-ever paid female staffer. Sanger, a skilled stenographer, served as presidential secretary to Harrison and also did work for his wife Caroline.
With President-elect Joe Biden vowing to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement in January — and as we celebrate the 5-year anniversary of that accord — we turn to Christiana Figueres to get an overview of where things stand globally on national commitments to fight climate change and what's needed going forward. Figueres was Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) from 2010 until 2016, during which she marshaled 196 countries to sign the Paris accord in 2015. Following her tenure with the UNFCCC, she co-founded Global Optimism, which "exists to catalyse transformative actions in our world" to tackle climate change.

#023. The Corona Choir roller coaster continues. With President and Mrs. Trump and many in the White House inner circle having tested positive, everyone is reminded again that this ongoing pandemic is real. The Skagit Valley Chorale (SVC) community needs no reminders. In March this adult choir based in Mt. Vernon, Washington lost two choir members to Covid-19. Be sure to listen to this Friday's episode, as it will be a poignant one for all of us choral folks when Steve has a conversation with SVC choral director Dr. Adam Burdick. It's the first time Adam has spoken publicly about his and his ensemble's harrowing, heart breaking experience. Today, for Science and Singing Tuesday, we continue talking to Chorus America's CEO Catherine Dehoney about the ongoing education we all need around what the research is, and the tools available to us to keep our choruses safe. She and Steve recall how little we knew in March, when tragedy struck SVC. The reality is, it could have been any of us. Visit the SHOW NOTES to find Catherine's favorite choir and corona choir resources and all sorts of other choral goodies.
With President's day just passing, the Cinematic Void podcast takes a dive into Presidential films, conspiracy theories, assassination attempts and Reagan era Hardcore/Punk.

The order permanently prohibits O'Neill from "providing any health service, whether on a paid or voluntary basis, to any person". The term "health service" includes "health education services", which were a feature of the northern NSW Misty Mountain Health Retreat founded by O'Neill and her husband Michael in 2001.

With President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration this Friday, who knows if any of us will be around next Monday. So, we here at the OBS figured that if we don’t make it through the weekend, we might as well go out with a bang. We’re pulling out all the stops for this week's show... It’s the first TKO match of 2017, and it's a Masked Mezzo Royal Rumble. Can you guess which mezzo-soprano dares to take on five challengers? Which one will emerge as Vocal Royalty? George and Daina take sides... Then, Oliver plays Monday Evening Quarterback and reviews Lyric Opera of Chicago's production of Mozart's "The Magic Flute"... And of course you get all your opera headlines and our hot takes on them in ‘The Two Minute Drill’... @operaboxscore #operaballs
With President-elect Trump soon to take office, America is faced with a grim irony: many voters with economic grievances about a “rigged system” helped Trump win office, and yet given his major appointments so far, it seems unlikely that our next president will do anything to fundamentally address those problems — and it seems likely …
