It must be cozy—so cozy you find yourself over-using the word "cozy" in everyday conversation. It must be reliably made and ideally machine-washable, especially if you're using it in an outdoor dining situation.

And the men charged with repairing the damage to the physical structure did so on the eve of the former president's impeachment trial, when the institution contained in the Capitol might also begin to repair itself. Back in 2016, Trump presented only one outcome as legitimate, attacking the process as rigged before it even happened—until he won, at which point it wasn't rigged, except with regard to the popular vote, which he lost. Without an ounce of shame, which he correctly discerned was a superpower in our politics, he trotted out the exact same playbook four years later with far darker, and more deadly, consequences. The Capitol, the house of our democratic process at its core, was vandalized in order to seize for Donald Trump an outcome that the process had refused to grant him. It must be repaired through the process outlined in the Constitution. Here's Jack Holmes on the days ahead.
