Senate Democrats are proposing a weekslong Senate impeachment trial seeking testimony from four new witnesses including John Bolton and Mick Mulvaney over President Donald Trump’s actions toward Ukraine, according to a detailed outline released Sunday. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York proposed the structure for a “fair and honest’’ trial in a letter to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, an attempt to launch negotiations ahead of House voting this week that is all but certain to result in the president being impeached. Trump faces two charges — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — over his efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden while withholding military aid to the ally.

Lines of taxis left their dispatch centers in Tel Aviv, Holon, and Ben Gurion Airport this morning at 7:45 a.m., during rush hour, in a slow procession to the government headquarters in Jerusalem in protest of the proposed change in taxi fares set to begin on January 1st. According to the organizers of the protest, the new fares will harm their income in a significant manner.

The drivers added to the chaotic protest by waving signs that read: “The government of Israel is murdering the taxi profession.” Drivers even went so far as to set up burial coffins for their profession that had the words “taxi service” written on them.
