The union's response has been markedly different in the case of Pham, who faces two federal misdemeanor charges related to entering the Capitol. Anyone who breached the Capitol "should be charged and receive whatever punishment is assigned to that," said Douglas Griffith, who is now the union president. In Chicago, for example, the union president initially defended the mob before backing down. Ture said police unions are breaking from their own because of the Capitol Police officer's death and the injuries sustained by dozens of other officers. Glaser said he suspects that the rioters' "violation of basic democratic principles is enough that the unions feel like they cannot back that up."

"You're only talking to people who echo the same views and obsessively talk about violence and anger and hate," Berger said. Morton and Berger also said there was a substantial difference between the deplatforming of jihadis and the deplatforming of right-wing extremists: their bases of support. That will make deplatforming right-wing extremists far more delicate and potentially less effective, said Faiza Patel, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School.

Polls indicate that only a small fraction of Americans approved of the riot in Washington last week. “It’s a dangerous situation,” said Lucan Way, a political scientist at the University of Toronto who writes about authoritarian regimes. The belief is still common among Republicans: A Quinnipiac poll published Monday found that 73 percent still falsely believe there was widespread voter fraud. “Polarization is not the problem anymore,” said Lilliana Mason, a political psychologist at the University of Maryland. Partisanship was always seen as an inert, harmless thing, she said, a way to get people interested in the otherwise boring topic of politics.

But for many grass-roots Republicans, the episode at the Capitol was not the inflection point that some Republicans in Washington assumed it would be. to start a local Trump-centric third party. Even in blue states, Republican leaders find themselves still grappling with Mr. Trump’s politics of grievance. In the New Jersey State Senate, Republicans were split on a resolution condemning Mr. Trump for inciting the riot in the Capitol. Since Mr. Trump’s 2016 victory, 91 of the 168 positions on the Republican National Committee have turned over, with virtually all of the newcomers elected by Trump-aligned state parties.

The decision could define the party and shape American democracy for generations to come. The impeachment measure is likely to sail through the Democratic-led House, with or without Republican support. And for some who want to make a break from Trump and chart a new path for the Republican Party, time is running short. The outcome may center on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., a Trump ally who broke with him on Jan. 6 when making an impassioned plea to affirm President-elect Joe Biden's victory. "I think there is a sizeable majority in both chambers that desires an outcome where Trump cannot run for public office again," Cooper said.

☆ What Polls Say About Trump’s Impeachment and Possible Removal

Americans are on high alert as the country seeks to regain its balance after the mob attack on the Capitol last week, according to a range of polls released in recent days that reveal a nation frustrated by the president’s actions and unsure of what comes next. Three in four respondents to a nationwide CBS News/YouGov poll released Wednesday said it was at least somewhat likely that attempted violence could occur at President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s inauguration ceremony, which will take place on the Capitol steps just two weeks after armed extremists stormed the building. A Quinnipiac University survey released this week found that 70 percent of voters expressed concern for the safety of elected officials in the country. Clear majorities in those and other nationwide polls said President Trump bore the blame for the rioting at the Capitol last week, and his approval ratings have fallen to historic lows in his final days in office. But support for impeaching and removing him is not as widespread, although some polls do show a slim majority of the country backing it.

WASHINGTON — House Democrats are determined to impeach President Donald Trump in his final days for inciting a deadly riot in the U.S. Capitol. But some worry that forcing a Senate trial just as Joe Biden is taking office could hinder the president-elect's administration. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told Democrats the chamber will vote Tuesday on a resolution to call on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump that way. The House will then meet on Wednesday to vote on impeachment, Hoyer said, according to his office. But it's not clear if the Senate can realistically vote on Biden nominees while simultaneously holding an impeachment trial.

With the help of fundraising efforts, private police officers in January are scheduled to begin patrols in the district — part of a larger "Buckhead Security Plan" unveiled earlier this month. Officer Steve Avery, an Atlanta police spokesman, said the department "encourages community involvement" to help reduce crime across the city. Criminal charges were brought against six Atlanta police officers accused of using force against two college students during the protests. The need for Buckhead to devise its own security plan "suggests that police themselves are incapable of performing the job of public safety," he said. The mayor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Buckhead's security plan.

Antonio Mugica, the founder and CEO of voting-software company Smartmatic, has said that the conspiracy theories about his company shared by President Donald Trump and his allies are damaging his business. Mugica said Smartmatic is considering launching lawsuits against Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN for airing groundless conspiracy theories about his company. The founder and CEO of Smartmatic, a voting-software company, has said that countries across the world are worried that conspiracy theories spread by President Donald Trump and his allies could be used to undermine their own elections.

Since 2010, however, the Social Security payroll tax hasn't been enough to cover payments for the massive baby-boom generation that started to retire.

Signs for Biden’s Republican rival, President Donald Trump, still prevail in their part of rural south-central Minnesota. [L1N29B1Q9]Biofuel plants are an important source of demand for farmers’ corn, used to make ethanol. When the cash-strapped Trump campaign canceled millions of dollars in TV advertisements in Iowa last month, the Biden campaign snapped up those spots, according to Biden’s advisers. But a recent poll by Quinnipiac University shows Trump and Biden running nearly even, with 47% and 46% of the vote respectively.
