Biden Is Losing the Internet. Does That Matter?
Kevin Roose at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
The coronavirus has forced the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee
into an all-digital campaign, and he’s struggling to break through.
Trump fans own social media.
It has not mattered yet.

Latinos Are Essential Workers. Will They Be Essential Voters?
Jennifer Medina at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
The coronavirus is likely to hit the United States’ 60 million Latinos
particularly hard, and political organizers face a dual challenge of

Many Spanish speakers have not been allowed citizenship.

FEMA’s ‘Air Bridge’ to Coronavirus Hot Spots Leaves Other Regions on Their Own
Zolan Kanno-Youngs at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
The federal government’s system of directing medical supplies for the
hardest-hit regions has left areas out of the spotlight scrambling to
prepare as the outbreak spreads.
A spot treatment does not work for a broad area problem.
FEMA is in error.

The Democratic Establishment Suddenly Loves Bernie Sanders
Sydney Ember at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
When he was winning primaries, many in the Democratic Party were wary of
the Vermont senator. Now, he’s a friend, chess-playing companion and
“American original.”
Socialism Has been labeled as poisonous in America for a century and a half.
Sanders is correct but he has the wrong label.

Annie Karni at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 10 hours ago

homes.
The stay home guideline is self enforcing.

New Details Hint at Risk of Russian Misinformation in Dossier
Charlie Savage and Adam Goldman at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 12 hours ago
Footnotes were declassified from a watchdog report that found that the
F.B.I. had reason to open the Russia inquiry but made errors in seeking
approval to wiretap a former Trump adviser.
The F.B.I. is inherently a political organization.

Trump Threatens to Adjourn Congress to Install Nominees. McConnell Demurs.
Nicholas Fandos at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 12 hours ago
The House and Senate have both taken extended recesses amid the pandemic,
convening at least every few days for so-called pro forma sessions to keep
their chambers technically in session.
The proforma tactic is familiar from the Obama administration.
If it could be defeated it would have been defeated.

Coronavirus Testing Falls Woefully Short as Trump Seeks to Reopen U.S.
Abby Goodnough, Katie Thomas and Sheila Kaplan at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 13 hours ago
Flawed tests, scarce supplies and limited access to screening have hurt the
U.S.’s ability to monitor Covid-19, governors and health officials warn.
About Covid-19 we know only two numbers with any certainty:
Hospital discharges and hospital discharges dead.
About 40% of discharges are discharged dead.
Better statisticians have different ideas. 4.1% dead is one.

Trump’s ‘Opening Our Country Council’ Runs Into Its Own Opening Problems
Annie Karni, Kate Kelly and David Gelles at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago
Instead of a formal council, the president created several industry groups,
and joined four calls with them. But some participants had no notice they
would be included, and others could not join in.
Shutting down preparedness was a bad idea.

Urged On by Conservatives and His Own Advisers, Trump Targeted the W.H.O.
Michael D. Shear at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago
But his announcement that he would freeze the U.S.’s contributions to the
organization in the middle of a pandemic was denounced by Democrats as well
as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Trump has no imagination.

U.S. Accuses North Korea of Cyberattacks, a Sign That Deterrence Is Failing
David E. Sanger and Nicole Perlroth at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago
Through the attacks, a report says, the North steals and launders money,
extorts companies and uses digital currencies to gain cash for its nuclear
program.
Causal relations are hard.
Yelling is easy.

V.A. Health Care Workers Balk at Safety Practices
Jennifer Steinhauer at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago
Officials at the Department of Veterans Affairs have denied that workers
across their huge health care system — which serves nine million veterans
and has 390,000 employees — have inadequate gear.
The workers know what they have.
I tend to trust their observations.

Fed Faces Calls for Bailout Transparency from New Oversight Commission
Alan Rappeport at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago
The Fed has authority to make trillions of dollars in loans. Concern is
growing that taxpayers will be in the dark about how the money is being
disbursed.
I would not know if they told me.
I have been told that the Federal reserve banks can only save the banks.
The banks are not the economy.

Zach Montague at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 17 hours ago
A cluster of infections at the store in the heart of trendy downtown
