Protest at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters on July 17, 2020.

As January comes to a close, I couldn’t help but wonder: Will we get a break in February?

Probably not. Next month kicks off former President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial.

It’s Mabinty, with the day’s top political news.

Who run the world? Women.

Seven congresswomen will likely become the face of President Joe Biden’s immigration legislation that includes an eight-year pathway to citizenship for nearly 11 million immigrants living in the United States without legal status.

The group, who call themselves the ‘Closers,’ includes:

Rep. Linda Sánchez, D-Calif.,
Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.,
Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif.,
Rep. Nydia Velázquez, D-N.Y.,
Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif.,
Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-Calif.,
Rep.Karen Bass, D-Calif.,

won’t run for Ohio’s open U.S. Senate seat in 2022. 2022 congressional elections – and also seemed to leave the door open to endorsing primary challengers to GOP incumbents who have opposed him on impeachment and other matters.

Biden will announce his task force focused on reunifying families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday.

Biden will also travel to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday afternoon to visit with wounded service members, the White House said.

It’s Friday. Treat yourself! — Mabinty
