It’s on now! Speaker Nancy Pelosi has instructed House committee chairmen to move forward with articles of impeachment against President Trump. The timeline will move fast as articles could be ready next week with a vote before Christmas. President Trump for his part says he wants to get it over quickly and move on the trial in the Senate. Toluse Olorunnipa, White House reporter at The Washington Post, joins us for how impeachment is ramping up.

We also grieve their deaths. Most recently, cute cat Lil Bub passed away and the internet world mourned. Abby Ohlheiser, reporter at the Washington Post, joins us for more.
