New Target for New York’s Ascendant Left: Rep. Carolyn Maloney
Katie Glueck, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
Justice Democrats, a left-wing group that fueled the rise of Representative
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is backing Rana Abdelhamid’s primary bid.
Running is not the same as winning.
There will be a primary.

Democrats Were Lukewarm on Campaign Biden. They Love President Biden.
Lisa Lerer and Giovanni Russonello, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
Joe Biden never captured the hearts of Democratic voters in the way Barack
Obama once did. But now that he is in office, he is drawing nearly
universal approval from his party.
Biden needs the total backing of the congressional Democratic caucus.

David Gelles and Andrew Ross Sorkin, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
Amazon, Google, G.M. and Starbucks were among those joining the biggest
show of solidarity by businesses over legislation in numerous states.
Companies cannot hold political oppinions.

John Kerry Heads to China to Talk Climate
Steven Lee Myers and Michael Crowley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
After contentious talks in Alaska, the visit by President Biden’s climate
envoy could signal that the two countries are willing work together on some
issues, even as they clash on others.
Do what works.

Police Told to Hold Back on Capitol Riot Response, Report Finds
Luke Broadwater, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
Despite being tipped that “Congress itself is the target” on Jan. 6,
Capitol Police were ordered not to use their most powerful crowd-control
weapons, according to a scathing new watchdog report.
The next step is a grand jury.

Key Findings from the Inspector General's Capitol Riot Report
Nicholas Fandos, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
Intelligence failures, orders to use less aggressive measures and equipment
breakdowns contributed to the Capitol Police’s botched response, a watchdog
found.
The next step is a grand jury.

With Afghan Decision, Biden Seeks to Focus U.S. on New Challenges
David E. Sanger, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
The president’s choice to set a firm date for a full withdrawal reflected a
belief that the priorities of 2021 require moving on from policies set in
2001.
Biden shows the ability to learn.

Pelosi Invites Biden to Address Joint Session of Congress
Traci Carl, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
The session would lay out the president’s plan after his first 100 days in
office.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_the_Union
The state of the Union is not "sound".

Could a Rare Covid Vaccine Side Effect Put More at Risk?
Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Jan Hoffman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
Some public health officials fear that the pause on the Johnson & Johnson
vaccine may fuel vaccine hesitancy and expose more Americans to a bigger
danger: the coronavirus.
These public health officials are incompetent.
10
Two Georgia Republicans Censure Gov. Kemp and Raffensperger
Lisa Lerer, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 9 hours ago
The actions were driven by anger over the governor’s refusal to overturn
the state’s 2020 primary results in favor of Trump.
Trump is the former president.
He should be facing treason charges.

If Biden Actually Withdraws Troops From Afghanistan By 9/11 He’ll Have Done Something Good
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 10 hours ago
Sort of self-explanatory. We’ll see if he actually does, Trump had planned
to withdraw by May 1st, after all, and spent most of his Presidency talking
about withdrawing without actually doing so. But Biden saying there are no
conditions for the withdrawal is a promising sign. This does mean the
Taliban will almost certainly wind […]
Proper action is short of justice.

China Poses Biggest Threat to U.S., Intelligence Report Says
Julian E. Barnes, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 10 hours ago
The annual assessment does not predict a military confrontation with either
Russia or China, but it suggests that intelligence operations, cyberattacks
and global drives for influence will intensify.
Misaprehension is the greatest threat.
13
Will Afghanistan Become a Terrorism Safe Haven Once Again?
Julian E. Barnes and Eric Schmitt, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 10 hours ago
Not likely, at least in the short term, intelligence officials assess. But
stopping terrorism groups over the long term could be more difficult.
It is not a U.S. concern.

Biden Urges Calm After Police Shooting. Activists Want Answers.
Katie Rogers and Zolan Kanno-Youngs, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 10 hours ago
The police shooting of Daunte Wright in Minnesota has renewed questions
about what the administration will be able to accomplish on policing.
The activists are making demands of the wrong office.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act
The FBI can give some answers.

After Another Police Shooting, Biden Urges Calm. Activists Want Answers.
Katie Rogers and Zolan Kanno-Youngs, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 10 hours ago
The police shooting of Daunte Wright in Minnesota has renewed questions

Pause in Vaccinations Leads to Canceled Appointments Across States
Mitch Smith and Michael D. Shear, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 10 hours ago
Health departments scrambled to postpone vaccine clinics and rebook
patients after the one-dose offering from Johnson & Johnson was sidelined.
The many a slip department.

Biden to Withdraw All Combat Troops From Afghanistan by Sept. 11
Helene Cooper, Thomas Gibbons-Neff and Eric Schmitt, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 11 hours ago
After years of arguing against an extended military presence in
Afghanistan, President Biden is doing things his way, with the deadline for
withdrawal set for the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
There will be Afghans who will need to run from the Taliban.
We must take them in before the U.S. troops leave.
The U.S. should leave none of its people behind.

Michael S. Schmidt and Katie Benner, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 11 hours ago
Joel Greenberg, a former elected official in Florida, has been talking to
federal investigators since last year about the conduct of Representative
Matt Gaetz and others.
Sending Matt Gaetz into the Florida general prison population would be a death sentence.
19
Can These Democratic Pollsters Figure Out What Went Wrong?
Giovanni Russonello, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 11 hours ago
Five competing Democratic polling firms put their heads (and their data)
together about 2020.
I know of no rule that bookmaking must be profitable.
Count all the votes. Only votes count.
20
Biden to Name Robert Santos to Census Bureau
Zach Montague, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 11 hours ago
If confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Santos would be the first person of color
to serve as permanent head of the beleaguered agency.
The census must count all resident persons.
The ones that hide and the ones that advertise.
A statistician is the proper personality.
