How Republican Fund-Raising May Be Affected by Sheldon Adelson's Death
Jeremy W. Peters and Shane Goldmacher, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 35 minutes ago
The death of Mr. Adelson, who spent over half a billion dollars to boost
Republicans, may complicate their efforts to regain control of Congress. “A
next generation of Sheldon-level giving does not readily exist,” one
strategist said.
Sheldon Adelson seemed to be primarrily interested in purchasing support for Israeli nationalism.
This seems to be attempting an end to Palestinian legitimacy.
He did not achieve his desire.

Jamie Raskin Leads the Push to Impeach Trump
Sheryl Gay Stolberg, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland, lost his 25-year-old son
to suicide on New Year’s Eve. Then he survived the mob attack on the
Capitol. Now, he leads the impeachment effort.
The debate continues.
At seven days remaining I am ambivalent.
I primarily want him gone. Dishonored and imprisoned can wait a few months.

Eric Lipton, Ben Protess and Steve Eder, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago
Companies and institutions are shunning President Trump and some associates
after the attack on the U.S. Capitol. The Trump family business, built on
luxury hospitality, is contemplating a reinvention.

The Trump brand should be at an end.

Holding Fast to Trump, Pompeo Angers Diplomats, Foreign and Domestic
David E. Sanger and Lara Jakes, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 4 hours ago
State Department personnel and allied officials expressed outrage that Mike
Pompeo has failed to acknowledge, much less protest, President Trump’s role
in inciting rioters who stormed the Capitol.
The Trump America first policy has always been bad whenever it has been tried.
Chattel slavery is a place to start. The rejection of the League of Nations is another.
Religious support of modern Israel is more recent.

Giovanni Russonello, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 6 hours ago
Across the country, security precautions ramp up before Jan. 20: This is

AT&T, JPMorgan and Coca-Cola Pull Back Political Giving Following Capitol Riots
Kate Kelly, Emily Flitter and Shane Goldmacher, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
AT&T and Marriott were among companies that will stop campaign
contributions to lawmakers who objected to certifying the election. Other
companies, such as JPMorgan, paused all political donations.
Trump is not a resource for these companies.

The History Behind 'Mob' Mentality
Benedict Carey, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 10 hours ago
Why do some mass gatherings turn violent? Experts in crowd behavior say
there’s still much to learn.

The Terror Of Liberals In A Time Of Insurrection
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 12 hours ago
It took me a while to understand the reaction to the attack on the Capitol.
At this point only five people have been killed, no actual Reps or Senators
were harmed, and so on. The response, however, has been absolutely savage.
If it is up to Liberals everyone involved will go to prison, and Reps […]
I hope Ian Welsh is having dark visions.
Biden is a better man and politician than Mr.Welsh believes.
There is more difference between the parties than the far left or right understand.
Let sanity rule the field.

U.S. Rush to Declare Houthis Terrorists Threatens to Halt Aid to Yemen
Lara Jakes and Ben Hubbard, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 13 hours ago
The Trump administration did not wait to put in place legal protections for
aid workers, a lapse that officials said could halt shipments of food,
medicine, gasoline and other assistance.

State Capitols on Alert After F.B.I. Warning
Neil MacFarquhar and Mike Baker, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago
Officials around the country are bracing for any spillover from last week’s
violent assault on the U.S. Capitol. State legislatures already have become
targets for protesters in recent days.
The F.B.I. is doing its job.
The parinoid should keep their heads down for the winter.
Police Presence at the inaugeration may be reassuring.

House Sets Impeachment Vote to Charge Trump With Incitement
Nicholas Fandos, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago
Democrats are planning a Tuesday vote to formally call on the vice
president to wrest power from President Trump and a Wednesday impeachment
vote if he does not.
The impeachment vote will happen.
If cooler heads prevail Trump will not be impeached.
He should be ushered out the door into the arms of state prosecutors to serve serial sentences for his many crimes.

Congress’s Sergeants-at-Arms Face Scrutiny After Siege
Michael S. Schmidt and Ali Watkins, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 15 hours ago
The House and Senate sergeants-at-arms, who have resigned, now face
questions about why they failed to do more to deter the Trump loyalists who
swarmed the Capitol last week.
The capitol police did not do their jobs in a timely fashion.
Crowd control is much less a mystry than it has been.
Stupid people in large groups have been the warriors from ancient times.
These did not have a visible command structure or a cohearent plan.

Fringe Groups Splinter Online After Facebook and Twitter Bans
Sheera Frenkel, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 16 hours ago
Tracking what may be planned in the coming days could become even more
difficult as the groups take to lesser-known networks and apps that can’t
be easily monitored.
Advertisers have little dificulty finding me.

How Republicans Fanned the Flames Before US Capitol Building Riot
Catie Edmondson and Luke Broadwater, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 16 hours ago
A “1776 moment”: Several of the president’s closest allies in Congress used
bellicose language to urge their supporters to attend the Jan. 6 rally that
turned into a deadly riot.
Samson seemed a foolish character.

Was the US Capitol Riot a Coronavirus Superspreader Event?
Emily Cochrane, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 17 hours ago
Members of a mob, many unmasked, roamed the halls of the Capitol. Unmasked
Republicans jammed into secure rooms. The outcome is worrisome to many
members of Congress.
I can't know.
I would bet on it.

Why Republicans Can't Agree on a Way Back to Power
Shane Goldmacher, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 17 hours ago
Many Republican leaders and strategists want to prepare the party for a
post-Trump future. But the pro-Trump voter base has other ideas.
Many belivers in Trump do not understand they are abandoned.
There should be no resurection.

Impeachment Briefing: ‘Incitement of Insurrection’
Noah Weiland, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 18 hours ago
House Democrats introduced an article of impeachment charging President
Trump over the riot at the Capitol.
What was the Strategic Air Command should have a new duty.
They should serve as a safety on the nuclear trigger, the presidential football.
