Absolutely horrific footage coming out of Manhattan where a man apparently self-immolated (set himself on fire) in the Trump supporter area right outside of the courthouse. This act occurred immediately after the full 18 person jury was officially seated, although it is unclear if this is related to Trump or some other protestor maybe mental illness.

The Republican Party’s attempted impeachment fiasco and beleaguered House Speaker Mike Johnson were the subjects of late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert’s opening monologue Wednesday night. Colbert observed that while the House Republicans targeting Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “never identified a specific high crime or misdemeanor for the impeachment, which is usually kind of a thing,” the event was still historic.
It's only the second time in America that a Cabinet member has been impeached.
