Shortly after, President Donald Trump stepped before the crowd, al- ready whipped up by lies and dangerous rallying cries (Giuliani had suggested “trial by combat“), and urged them to march to the Capitol and give Republi- cans certifying the lawful election “some boldness.” “We’re going to walk down Pennsyl- vania Avenue,” Trump said. “And we’re going to the Capitol and we’re going to try ... and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride Rioters scale the exterior of the U.S. Capitol after a speech by President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

Inside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. SAUL LOEB/AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES Our View: Invoke the 25th Amendment

Ever since Donald Trump lost his bid for reelection, Americans have wondered to what depths he would sink in his efforts to overturn the results and cling to power. h On Wednes- day, they got their answer: The president of the United States incited a mob of supporters and sicced them on the Capitol, just as Congress was about to count the states’ electoral votes and affirm Joe Biden’s victory. In the ensuing chaos, the hallowed chambers were desecrated, the ceremonial process was disrupted, one woman was fatally shot and three others died.

By egging on this deadly insurrection and hailing the rioters (“We cy Pelosi and others, is neither easy nor ideal.

WEEKLY JOBLESS CLAIMS DIP, STILL AT HISTORIC HIGH

The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid fell slightly last week to 787,000, a historically high number that points to a weak job mar- ket held back by the viral pandemic. Thursday’s figure from the Labor De- partment, a slight decline from the previous week, shows that even with the pandemic recession in its 10th month, many businesses are still lay- ing off workers. Before the recession, weekly jobless claims typically num- bered around 225,000.

Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

And you thought screens couldn’t get any bigger. Mercedes-Benz on Thursday re- vealed a 56-inch screen that nearly spans the width of a new car’s interior, accelerating the auto industry’s race to turn the vehicle into a computer on wheels. Daimler, the German automaker that manufactures the luxury automotive brand, said the MBUX Hyperscreen would debut this spring in its new elec- tric sedan, the Mercedes-Benz EQS, in the spring. The EQS is billed as the luxury auto- maker’s finest electric car and is expect- ed to compete directly with such vehi- cles as the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan. It will debut as a 2022 model and while a starting price hasn’t been announced, Edmunds estimated $110,000. The Mercedes-Benz Hyperscreen is a 56-inch wide curved screen encapsulating the vehicle’s infotainment system, console The Hyperscreen’s virtual reveal was buttons and cockpit panels.

Saturday, Rivera and the Washington Football Team, winners of the NFC East, host the Buccaneers in the wild-card round of the NFL postseason. Few envisioned this for Washington after its dismal start. But Rivera did. Washington reached this point be- cause, as an eternal optimist, the coach refused to surrender to cancer. In so do- ing, he inspired his players. “Seeing everything he has endured and overcome since the start of the sea- son, seeing his football schemes com- pletely turn it around from being 2-7 to the position we’re in to host a playoff game is nothing short of a miracle,” Washington linebacker Thomas Davis Sr. told USA TODAY Sports. “Coach Rivera, he’s a guy that’s a little different. Former player, real tough. … He’s a guy that survives and perseveres through it all.” Davis played for Rivera for eight sea- sons in Carolina, then followed him to Washington this season. He wanted to end his career playing for the “father figure.” Davis, his teammates and Rivera’s associates all know the 59-year-old for- mer linebacker for his positivity and re- solve. It’s how he’s wired. “My father, even though he was in the military, he was an optimistic dude. He always found the good in things and cir- cumstances,” Rivera told USA TODAY Sports of Eugenio Rivera. And of his mother, Delores, he said, “My mother wanted to bring out the In his first season as its head coach, Ron Rivera has led Washington to its first playoff trip since the 2015 season berth. good to the point where she believed BILL STREICHER/USA TODAY SPORTS practice makes better.
