WELCOME TO FLORIDA President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump are saying goodbye to New York and hello to the Sunshine State. Florida residents pay far lower income taxes. But we won’t know how the change in domicile will affect the family, because Trump continues to block the release of his tax returns. “Good riddance,” said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. [HuffPost]
IMPEACHMENT IS ON House Democrats approved a resolution formalizing an inquiry into impeaching the president. The vote was almost entirely along party lines — 232-196, with all but two Democrats and no Republicans voting in favor. The vote sets out ground rules for the impeachment process, which Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) argues is “an attempt to undo the last election.” [HuffPost]
FIRST WHITE HOUSE POLITICAL APPOINTEE TESTIFIES Former National Security Council adviser Tim Morrison’s testimony in a closed-door impeachment hearing confirmed some aspects of earlier reports but contradicted others, according to a person familiar with the testimony. [AP]
REP. KATIE HILL BLASTS ‘MISOGYNISTIC CULTURE’ In an emotional final speech, outgoing Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.) ripped into a culture that allows accused sexual predators like President Trump to serve in influential roles. She resigned after an investigation was opened into unsubstantiated claims of a romantic relationship with a staff member while in office. [HuffPost]
CALIFORNIA FIRES TAKE HUGE TOLL The fires and power outages in California have left seniors with disabilities in life-threatening positions. “I was alone without lights and I was trapped in [a] lift chair for 36 hours,” said 82-year-old Neil Whitelaw, who uses a wheelchair. [HuffPost]
ISIS NAMES NEW LEADER After the U.S. killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his heir apparent, the group announced its new leader is Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Qurayshi. Counterterrorism experts are trying to figure out who he is. [NYTimes]

NO ONE’S LAUGHING AT THIS PRANK Capitol Hill police responded to reports of suspicious packages left at several offices of congressional Democrats. Turns out they were “moving boxes” placed as a prank by the National Republican Congressional Committee. [HuffPost]
ANOTHER FOX NEWS DEPARTURE Veteran Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge is leaving the network to join CBS News, where “facts matter,” she said. Her departure comes a few weeks after longtime Fox News host Shepard Smith abruptly left the network. [HuffPost]
AMERICA’S BUSIEST MAYOR? Tim Ragland is the first Black mayor elected in Talladega, Alabama. The 29-year-old jokes he’ll need “a lot of Red Bull and prayer” to juggle the challenges of law school and pushing his city into the future. [HuffPost]
NOT ‘NASTY’ THIS TIME Trump seemed to sympathize with Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, over the harsh media coverage she receives. Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage asked the president about it in a phone interview on British radio station LBC. [HuffPost]
TEACHERS STRIKE A DEAL The Chicago Teachers Union and Mayor Lori Lightfoot reached a tentative deal to end an 11-day strike in the nation’s third-largest school district. The union had demanded a wage increase, funding for overcrowded classrooms and more support staff. [HuffPost]
LOW EXPECTATIONS A HuffPost/YouGov survey shows that only 3 in 10 Americans think it’s even somewhat likely that Trump will be impeached. The survey, taken before the House impeachment vote, shows Americans are evenly split on how Democrats are handling the inquiry. [HuffPost]
