A highly contagious patient, virus transmission inside a hospital and unexpected turns for the worse have emerged as part of the epidemic in China.

I am not learning from this report.

Republican Senators Tried to Stop Trump From Firing Impeachment Witness

A handful of senators reached out to the White House to warn the president not to dismiss Gordon D. Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union who testified in the House hearings. But Mr. Trump went ahead anyway.

Double jeopardy may not apply to impeachment.

On Trump’s To-Do List: Take Back The Suburbs. Court Black Voters. Expand the Electoral Map. Win.

With impeachment behind the president, his re-election campaign wants to address political weaknesses exacerbated by his policies and behavior.

Let him have his deflation.
Debt Kills.
The poor have no debt.

Col. Vindman and the Trumpification of the National Security Council

His removal is petty and vindictive. It’s also part of a bigger plan.

Steve Bannon has a plan.

The Unhealthy Math of Skinny + Pretty = Good

A young woman struggling with an eating disorder tries to shift from self-loathing to self-loving.

I was a post war child.  I saw the same images.

Pelosi Clashes With Facebook and Twitter Over Video Posted by Trump

The video was edited to appear as if Speaker Nancy Pelosi were ripping a copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address while he honored a Tuskegee airman and military families.

Facebook and Twitter have political ambitions.
They like Republican money.

Where’s Xi? China’s Leader Commands Coronavirus Fight From Safe Heights

Xi Jinping has backed out of the spotlight as the country faces its worst crisis in years, reflecting the political risks he faces if efforts to contain the virus fail.

I can't guess the power of sales.
The "Great Leap Forward" did not hurt Mao.
The Uyghurs are the fall guys.

‘Extortion’: N.Y. Assails Trump Administration Over Traveler Programs

Homeland Security officials accused New York of jeopardizing the country’s safety by restricting access to motor vehicle databases.

The Trump administration is enthusiastic about deflation.
They should try it.
The Republicans were not happy the last time.
The next sixteen years will be ugly.
People's feet will get wet and billions will die.

The Donald Trump Theory of Bernie Sanders

What better foe for the president than his alter ego?

Elections are difficult against incumbents.
They have a bully pulpit.

The Mystery of the Painting in Gallery 634

New evidence suggests a 17th-century work, on view for years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was once owned by a Jewish art dealer who fled the Nazis.

The painting probably once belonged to Siegfried Aram.
Its provenance is corrupt.
There seem to be no heirs to receive restitution.
Cristies  should recover The money paid to the seller.
It probably should go to the state of Israel.
