“The Senate set the terms for Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, but not before Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the president got a reminder that a small group of GOP senators can determine how it will play out.

Switzerland Ranks as World’s Best in Attracting Talent
“Switzerland once again clinched the No. 1 spot in a global survey on fostering and attracting talent, edging out the U.S. and Singapore, according to the Global Talent Competitiveness Index published by French business school, INSEAD.

As was the case in previous years, “the best-ranked countries include a significant number of small high-income economies, many of them being either landlocked, island or quasi-island economies,” INSEAD said.”
