Business Insider reports that five House Republicans support impeaching President Donald Trump over the Capitol siege. Most Republicans are pushing against it.

The pandemic shows no sign of abating in the US, and thus, neither has remote working nor remote learning. And according to Business Insider, that's led to a boom in the 'office in a box' market, in which people install minuscule 'home' offices in the backyard. In a recent survey of just over 2000 American consumers, 54% of respondents said they would buy a tiny office. Among them, 62% said they'd purchase a backyard unit. 30%, reported that the ideal tiny office would fall between 200 to 299 square feet. In terms of pricing, 26% said they'd spend less than $8,000 on a backyard office unit, while 23% said they'd fork out between $10,000 to $19,999.
