Adam Schiff for allegations relating to his motives and methods in association with the investigation into Trump's ties to Russia. This vote comes after considerable back and forth stemming from a prior move on the part of a mishmash of 20 Republicans and a majority of Democrats who effectively blocked his censure last week, resulting in Trump's call for the Republicans to be primaried.

According to a [recent study](~/AASU4wA~/RgRmdq68P0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvZDBybDF4YTdvNy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWF4Y3I4YWI0NHNXA3NwY0IKZJG-KZRk1C43qlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) in the scientific journal Geophysical Research Letters, countless amounts of groundwater has been extracted from beneath our feet. Consequently, the True North Pole has shifted at a rate of 4.36 centimeters per year (or more than 1.7 inches). Between 1993 and 2010 alone, that amounted to more than 2 trillion tons of groundwater, which exists in saturated regions underground and can be used for drinking, irrigation, sanitation and manufacturing.
