Daisuke Wakabayashi, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 51 minutes ago
YouTube is the latest tech company to bar the president from posting
online, following Twitter, Facebook and others.

It is a way to get a smaller crowd than Trump.

Even as many freshmen have avoided breaking with President Trump, some have
called for a partywide reckoning most of their caucus’s leaders have shied
away from.
My oppinion is smart people do not join the GOP.

The Covid-19 vaccine supply is small.
More is better.

Jason Zengerle, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 9 hours ago
President Biden ought to be good for ratings. But it’s impossible to
imagine small-bore scandals satisfying an audience that thinks the
presidency was stolen.
Conservative media was not business as usual.
There should be no return.
The fairness rule should be reapplied.

accountability for Republicans who refused to recognize the election result
and fueled divisions that erupted in the Capitol riot.
1/6 as it is called is an internal horror.
The threat on 9/11 was external to Congress.
