It was another rollicking day in the Hive newsroom, dear reader. Donald Trump became the [third president in history]( to be impeached by the House of Representatives, an event Republicans compared to the [bombing of Pearl Harbor]( and the trial of [Jesus](. Google employees [sharpened their pitchforks](. And the mediasphere tried to [look on the bright side](. But who wants to talk about yesterday’s news, anyway? Today we lead with Abigail Tracy’s incisive report on what comes next for impeachment—and whether Nancy Pelosi has a strategy to bend Mitch McConnell to her will. Plus: Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg go for each others’ throats on the debate stage. We hope you’re enjoying what you’re reading. Have a great day!
