Senate Democrats approve budget resolution, teeing up coronavirus bill

Senate Democrats approved a budget resolution early Friday morning that will allow them to pass coronavirus relief without GOP support.
The budget passed the Senate in a 50-50 party-line vote, with Vice President Harris breaking the tie. Because senators made changes to the resolution, it now bounces back to the House, where lawmakers will need to pass it for a second time as soon as Friday.

Priest draws scrutiny after saying he performed Capitol exorcism

A Nebraska priest is facing scrutiny within the Catholic Church after he was seen on video the day of the Capitol riot saying he performed an exorcism on the building.
The Rev. David Fulton, a pastor at St. Michael in Central City and St. Peter in Fullerton, told a videographer that he performed an exorcism on the Capitol while apparently praising those protesting the election results.
