Trump's lawyers fully embraced a TikTok defense on Friday, using manipulated video to complain about manipulated video and relying on rapid-fire, repetitive imagery. “The only question one might have is whether they repeated that effectiveness too much.”They also left room for a line of attack for Trump's lawyers. Trump's team found video of participants in the impeachment trial calling past elections into question, even digging back to find a 2005 speech by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In a trial without witnesses, the House managers relied heavily on media reports and interviews. Ultimately, it was a fully modern impeachment trial, with hours spent in video editing rooms likely rivaling the time spent with lawyers.

And country star Garth Brooks, doffing his black cowboy hat, sang a soulful a capella rendition of “Amazing Grace,” his eyes closed for much of the song. While stars mostly eschewed Trump's inauguration four years ago, the A-list was back for Biden. Brooks was careful to call his decision to perform on Wednesday non-political, and in the spirit of unity. Alone with his guitar, The Boss sang his “Land of Hope and Dreams” in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Dave Chappelle accepted the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor Sunday. The award is considered the highest accolade in comedy and recognizes individuals who have had an impact on American society in the vein of 19th-century novelist and essayist Samuel Clemens, or pseudonym, Mark Twain. Actor and comedian Eddie Murphy said in a video tribute Chappelle is the type of person who is "so much smarter than everyone." "Dave is one of the most, maybe the most, intellectual comedian ever," Murphy said. Previous recipients of the Mark Twain award include Richard Pryor, Jonathan Winters, Carl Reiner, Whoopi Goldberg, Lily Tomlin, Lorne Michaels, Steve Martin, George Carlin, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, Ellen DeGeneres, Carol Burnett, Bill Murray, David Letterman, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Comedian Jon Stewart and surviving first responders including John Feal pushed Congress to pass the extension before rewards diminished and the fund expired in 2020. When it became clear the bill would overwhelmingly pass, a group of first responders and Stewart stood and clapped in the visitor's gallery above the Senate floor. Feal said he gave 15 years of his life to the cause and the passage of the bill would change him. In 2011, Congress reactivated the fund and in 2015 reauthorized it for another five years, appropriating $7.4 billion to aid thousands more people. Last week, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, delayed the bill's passage, criticizing Congress for not offsetting its cost by not cutting government spending elsewhere.

(CNN) - Republican Sen. Rand Paul objected Wednesday to an attempt to pass the bill funding 9/11 first responders' health care unanimously, arguing that passing such a long-term bill without offsetting the cost would contribute to the national debt. I will be offering up an amendment if this bill should come to the floor, but until then I will object," added Paul, who voted in favor of President Donald Trump's $1.5 trillion tax cut. Paul was not the only senator who objected to the attempt to pass the bill by unanimous consent on Wednesday. Paul addressed his objection later Wednesday on Twitter, arguing that he was "not blocking the 9/11 bill - simply asking for a vote on an amendment to offset the cost." John Feal, a 9/11 first responder speaking alongside Stewart, called Paul and Lee "opportunists" and "bottom feeders."

Moments after the House passage, McConnell's office issued a statement that the chamber would consider "this important legislation soon." "The first responders who rushed into danger on September 11th, 2001 are the very definition of American heroes and patriots," McConnell said. "The Senate has never forgotten the Victim Compensation Fund and we aren't about to start now. "This is the semi-finals," Stewart said at the press event on Capitol Hill flanked by first responders and members of Congress. On Monday, the lead sponsors of the victim compensation fund bill announced that the legislation will be renamed to honor Alvarez and others.

Mourners lined the streets of New York City Wednesday as they paid tribute to retired NYPD Detective Luis Alvarez, who spent his last days fighting for others. Alvarez, who spent months digging through rubble in the aftermath of 9/11, lost his battle with cancer on Saturday. Jon Stewart, who was at Alvarez's side, added: "They did their job with courage, grace, tenacity, humility ... 18 years later, do yours." Getty ImagesStewart attended the funeral at the Immaculate Conception Church in Astoria, Queens, Wednesday and offered a salute to his fallen friend. Inside the church, Alvarez's sister and oldest son gave touching tributes.

"The chairs that they put their a**** in, the pens that they use, the pads that they write on, we pay for that s***," 9/11 first responder John Feal told reporters after meeting with McConnell. At issue is funding for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, which provides health care and services for 9/11 first responders. You could pass this thing as a standalone bill tomorrow," Stewart said appearing on CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." We will take care of the 9/11 compensation fund." Feal said McConnell used the word "urgency" in the meeting Tuesday and described this meeting as different than previous ones.
