It’s been seven days since Trump’s last tweet, after Twitter and several

insurrection. POLITICO’s Nancy Scola takes us inside big tech’s decision
to dump Trump — and looks at how Silicon Valley’s influence in politics
could come under sharper scrutiny in the coming years. Plus, Biden calls
for a vast expansion of the federal pandemic response. And McCarthy
rejects calls to remove Cheney from GOP leadership.

As the nation reels from a violent insurrection and a devastating
pandemic, President Trump has become the first president in U.S. history
to be impeached twice. So how did we get here? Dan Diamond — who is
sadly leaving POLITICO after five years on the health beat — explains
how there were warning signs in the early days of President Trump’s
health policies. Plus, Biden’s transition team urges quick confirmations
of his national security picks. And Johnson & Johnson falls behind on

will be critical, and intelligence officials are already warning of
possible “armed protests” across the country. Garrett Graff explains how
the security failures during last week’s insurrection raise questions
about how prepared the country is for more threats. Plus, U.S. will
require Covid testing for arriving international flights. And Trump

Biden’s vaccine problem | Speevr

100 million vaccinations in 100 days. It’s one of the main promises
President-elect Biden has made for when he takes office. But with the
Trump administration’s vaccination efforts hitting roadblocks and
falling behind schedule, Biden’s goal is looking more out of reach by
the day. POLITICO’s Adam Cancryn reports. Plus, Biden is eyeing ways to
prevent impeachment from derailing Senate confirmations. And New Jersey
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman tests positive for Covid after the Capitol
insurrection.

Presenting … Global Translations: Cures for an Ailing Labor Market

Presenting ... Global Translations: Cures for an Ailing Labor Market | Speevr

The pandemic sent shockwaves through a global labor market already
upended by digitization and the green energy transition. It left tens of
millions jobless and amplified skills gaps. Even as we spent trillions
keeping the economy on life support, investment in the skills of the
future has been scarce. So how do we get the right skills to the right
people, to get the economy motoring again? Hosts Ryan Heath and Luiza
Savage speak with experts about these major labor disruptions.

As lawmakers call for President Trump’s removal from office after

increasingly small circle of advisors. POLITICO’s Anita Kumar breaks
down what we can expect during the final 12 days of his presidency — and
whether efforts to remove him stand a chance. Plus, HHS is working to
replace potentially faulty Covid tests used by Congress. And the SBA
says it will give priority to minority-owned businesses.

Chaos at the Capitol

Chaos at the Capitol | Speevr

It’s a day that will live in infamy. Rioters incited by President Trump
stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday in an attempt to overturn the
results of the November election. POLITICO’s Ryan Lizza explains why the
violent event can only be described as an attempted coup — and why we
should’ve seen it coming. Plus, the DOJ says hackers accessed thousands
of DOJ employees emails. And a top vaccine official will take on a
reduced role in the Biden administration.

Georgia goes blue

Georgia goes blue | Speevr

Democrats have flipped two Georgia Senate seats blue, meaning the party
will control the House, the Senate and the White House when
President-elect Biden takes office later this month. POLITICO’s Elena
Schneider breaks down how years of shifting politics in the former
Republican stronghold led to this moment. Plus, officials warn that the
new strain of Covid is likely spreading in California. And intelligence
officials say the massive U.S. security breach is “likely Russian in
origin.”
