Annie Karni, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 25 minutes ago
With President Trump hospitalized, Mark Meadows, the White House chief of
staff, delivered no guidance to aides about how they were expected to

Trump appears to believe in Trump's immortality.

Thomas Kaplan, Apoorva Mandavilli and Katie Glueck, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
With transparency on health newly significant in the presidential race, Joe
Biden’s safety protocols have remained largely under wraps. But on Sunday
evening, his campaign said he had again tested negative for the coronavirus.
Biological Warfare has not been used in battle since the rationalization of medicine because of its uncontrollable delivery.

Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
The president’s medical team refused to provide critical details and left
open the impression that he was known to be sick a day earlier than
previously reported, forcing them to backtrack later.
Trump is known to lie.

Trump Confronts a New Form of Risk, More Personal and Perilous
Matt Flegenheimer, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
With his political career, his business dealings and his reputation, the
president has long bet that he can ride out difficulties. Now, though, he
is facing an entirely unfamiliar threat.
A virus is not aware.
It does not hear or see.
It is not political.

In Biden’s Home State, Republican Centrism Gives Way to the Fringe
Elizabeth Williamson, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
The Republican Party’s slide from statewide power to irrelevance in
Delaware mirrored its swerve from moderation to the fringe. Now a QAnon fan
is running for the Senate.
Trump is not winning in Delaware.

New Supreme Court Term Could End Roberts’s Dominant Role
Adam Liptak, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 6 hours ago
The possible addition of Judge Amy Coney Barrett could create “the Trump
court,” pushing it rightward. Cases on the Affordable Care Act and
religious objections to gay rights could offer early clues.
It is possible there will not be a quorum to confirm a conservative justice.
The court can also be packed.

For Trump, the Only Medical News Is Good Medical News
Annie Karni, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 23 hours ago
Conflicting accounts of the president’s condition underline the fact that

Trump will die in office.

With Trump Sidelined, His Campaign Promises MAGA as Usual
Maggie Haberman and Annie Karni, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
A campaign whose fund-raising, events and messaging have all been driven by
President Trump says it will stay the course while he’s off the campaign
trail.
He will infect his supporters.

A White House Long in Denial Confronts Reality
Annie Karni and Maggie Haberman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
The infections were a byproduct, former aides said, of the recklessness and
top-down culture of fear that President Trump created at the White House
and throughout his administration.
If that were so the appointed officers would leave.

rebounding, and loyal to President Trump. But its residents no longer tie
their fortunes to him.
Portsmouth, Ohio turns no more its head.
It knows a frightful fiend does close behind it tread.

Jennifer Medina and Trip Gabriel, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
In a different moment, a stricken leader might have rallied people behind
him. But President Trump’s health crisis is filtered through the partisan
lenses that divide Americans on seemingly every issue.
