Welcome to another edition of FT Now! Washington went all-in on impeachment this week as Democrats took their case to the Senate. Question: Does the rest of America even care? In Virginia, Second Amendment supporters gathered for a peaceful rally. Unfortunately, that prompted one Democrat operative to label their activity "terrorism." And just when you thought you’d seen it all when it comes to Democrats and their tax hike proposals...Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly swoops in with "Netflix tax." Read below for more!

| Democrats’ Impeachment Arguments "Broke Little Ground" |
| What Happened: |
| Democrats had the chance to make their impeachment case to the GOP-controlled Senate this week. Unsurprisingly, very little was brought up that the country doesn’t already know. That is, except maybe for Rep. Adam Schiff’s argument that President Trump should be removed from office because otherwise we’ll never know if the 2020 election was fair...or something. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| This is definitely a first for us, but...maybe you shouldn’t care! While Democrats are hell-bent on impeaching President Trump, there are far better things for Americans to be focused on right now. Job creation, health care, Elizabeth Warren’s latest boondoggle proposal…(to name a few). And according to Sen. Rand Paul, Republicans are pretty close to being able to dismiss impeachment altogether. |
| What Happens Next: |
| Each side gets 24 hours over three days to make their cases. The president’s defense team is up next! |

| Dem Operative Shares Tweet Calling Gun-Rights Advocates Terrorists |
| What Happened: |
| A Democrat operative retweeted a message that claimed law-abiding Americans at a pro-Second Amendment rally were engaging in "terrorism." |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Aside from the fact that the rally itself was entirely peaceful, we’re once again reminded that Democrats don’t like people who aren’t like them - and they aren’t afraid to let you know it. |
| What Happens Next: |
| This isn’t the first time a Democrat has demeaned everyday, law-abiding citizens, and it certainly won’t be the last. |

| Liberal Laura Kelly Wants A Netflix Tax |
| What Happened: |
| Kanas’ Democrat Governor, Laura Kelly, has proposed a new $27 million "Netflix tax" on all streaming devices. Yes, you read that right. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Do you really want to pay taxes on your Netflix subscription? What about for Hulu or Spotify or Disney+? In other words, will Democrats ever run out of things to tax? |
| What Happens Next: |
| Kansans may not have to cancel their subscriptions just yet. So far, the idea has gotten some hefty criticism, with some legislators even calling it a "nightmare." |
