Adam Schiff to be sworn into the Senate, where he wants to be more than a Trump antagonist
Democrat Adam Schiff stood on the Senate floor almost five years ago as a House impeachment manager and made a passionate case that Donald Trump should be removed from office for abusing the power of the presidency. “If right doesn’t matter, we’re lost,” he told the senators, his voice cracking at one point. The Republican-led Senate wasn’t convinced, and senators voted to acquit Trump on the Democratic-led impeachment charges over his dealings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Kennedy Center pays tribute to Coppola, the Grateful Dead, Raitt, Sandoval and The Apollo
WASHINGTON (AP) — “Not Fade Away” closed out the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony on Sunday, just as honorees The Grateful Dead had used Buddy Holly’s ode to enduring love to close out hundreds of concerts over the years.

The venerable Harlem theater The Apollo, which has launched generations of Black artists, also was recognized. Longtime Deadheads, including actors Miles Teller and Chloe Sveginy and talk show host David Letterman, paid tribute to the band's blend of musical experimentation, longevity and community-building.

EU countries want vaping included in bloc's tobacco tax law
Sixteen EU countries asked the European Commission on Monday to propose a new law in the coming months on taxing tobacco in the bloc to include new products such as electronic cigarettes - vapes - which are not covered under the existing legislation. The initiative, led by the Netherlands, has the support of Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Slovakia, Spain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Ireland, Slovenia and Portugal. In a letter to the Commission, finance ministers from the countries say an update to the bloc's 2011 EU tobacco taxation law is needed because - in the absence of EU regulations on vaping - each country now applies different rules and levels of excise tax, distorting the bloc's single market.
