* 美國參議院川普彈劾程序第一階段開始。首日川普律師代表川普否認叫唆支持者於1月6日衝進國會。
當日致命暴動前,川普被指控於演講中叫唆民眾衝入國會山莊,並且早於去年十二月以推文號召民眾1/6搞大的,野蠻的(Wild),因為民主黨竊取了這場選舉,「我們必須捍衛自己的國家」。

當川普支持者襲擊國會大廈,迫使參眾議員和工作人員躲在辦公室時,川普並未立即阻止。最後包括警察在內,共五人死亡。

US president-elect Joe Biden has made history by picking Dr Rachel Levine for a top government health post.
Levine, who is transgender, is set to serve as assistant secretary of health if her appointment is confirmed by the senate. This will make her the first ever openly #transgender official ever confirmed by senators.
Biden acknowledged she is a ‘historic’ pick, but added that Levine was a "deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration’s health efforts."
He added: "Dr Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond."
Her role is set to be one of the most important during the first few months of the Biden administration, as America tries to tackle the COVID pandemic which has so-far killed 400,000 of its citizens.
Currently Levine is health secretary for Pennsylvania and is one of the few transgender people serving in elected or appointed positions nationwide. The Harvard-educated medic began her career as a pediatrician, and also served as Pennsylvania’s physician general.
She has emerged as the public face of Pennsylvania’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Levine will be an integral part of Biden’s $1.3 trillion plan to provide 100million vaccines within his first 100 days in office.
Biden also says that, in one of his first acts as president, he'll ask Americans to wear masks for 100 days to slow the virus' spread.
