Democrats resign on mere allegations. Republicans stick around even AFTER they've been found guilty.
"Republicans really need really need to take a deep look at themselves and decide what side of history they will be on.".....: They've checked and they're fine with it.
I suspect the very same Rs who are complaining that the House is RUSHING impeachment would be accusing the House of intentionally PROLONGING it into an election year if they waited for the courts to litigate the WH’s refusal to cooperate with the probe.

Birds are getting smaller. Scientists see the echo of climate change. | A separate study published in September in the journal Science found that human activities and ecological changes are already having a devastating impact on bird populations. Birds have been shrinking as global temperatures rise and the climate warms, a new study published Wednesday in the journal Ecology Letters has found. Research led by scientists at the University of Michigan examined more than 70,000 bird specimens from 52 North American migratory bird species collected between 1978 and 2016. The researchers found that body sizes for all 52 species shrank consistently over that 38-year time period while the length of wingspans grew, which suggests that birds may be forced to adapt — sometimes in dramatic ways — to climate change. “Other studies have found a relationship between temperature and body size similar to what we found, but this is the most consistent result,” said Benjamin Winger, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and the study’s senior author. “What we don’t know is the extent to which the shrinking bird is an adaptive response to climate change. Are they able to keep up with warming temperatures or are they lagging behind?” With global warming’s pace showing no signs of slowing, scientists are keen to study how human-caused climate change is impacting animals and their natural habitats, and whether species will become threatened — as has been seen with polar bears and monarch butterflies — or if animals will be able to sufficiently adapt in order to survive. Some research has already shown birds as a group are at risk. A separate study published in September in the journal Science found that human activities and ecological changes are already having a devastating impact on bird populations. The research found that the total bird population in the United States and Canada has fallen by almost 3 billion as a result of habitat loss and changing food supplies. The bird specimens analyzed in the new study in the journal Ecology Letters were all collected in Chicago after they died from colliding with buildings during their spring and fall migrations.

Two Russian hackers charged in sweeping malware attack on U.S. | Federal prosecutors have filed charges against two Russian nationals accused of carrying out one of the largest cybercrime sprees in history, orchestrating a string of attacks on computer systems in the U.S. and targeting victims in at least 11 states.
The accused were responsible for tens of millions of dollars in damages, and the attacks netted them over $3 million, according to court documents. Maksim Yakubets and Igor Turashev are accused of planting malware on victim computers, attacking several institutions in Pennsylvania — a bank, companies, a school district — in addition to targets in other states.
