The Trump Trial is almost over, with defense and prosecution presenting their closing arguments today in the Manhattan courtroom. Will Upton has the best round-up out there, in my humble opinion (but I would say that, wouldn't I?).

Outside the courtroom seemed far more interesting today, with wash-up actor Robert DeNiro turning up with former Capitol Police to deliver some tired, rehearsed lines about Trump being a "threat to democracy." It was a cringey moment rescued only by the Trump supporters riling DeNiro up. Oh, and a car alarm.

Finally, we're rolling out the on-site comments section for members of The National Pulse today. If you're signed up, head over on the mobile or desktop site (app fixes/integration still being worked on) and let me know what you think.

Cheers,
