After a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building Wednesday, 68 people were arrested. Now, five have been confirmed dead, including one police officer, according to The Cut.
The incitement of this riot with just two weeks left holding the oval office has President Donald Trump in the eye of the storm, to say the least.
While Vice President Mike Pence is said to oppose invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said Thursday Democrats were prepared to attempt to impeach Trump for a second time if the 25th Amendment were not invoked, The Cut also reported.

The positive test(s) have caused each team’s upcoming games to be postponed with dates still yet to be determined.
At this point, it is unclear when play will resume.
