Migrant Children Still Vex Biden
Eileen Sullivan, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
Interviews and a Times review showed a shelter system with wildly varying
conditions, some of which are far below the standard that the Biden
administration has promised.
The children bother Biden not at all.
The Republicans bother Biden about the children.

Mr. Biden has spoken publicly about how he once sent Mr. Netanyahu a

Giovanni Russonello, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
The Supreme Court’s oldest justice has hinted that he may decline to step
down, defying activists’ pressure. His reasoning would be hotly debated on

It is more important that the Supreme Court does its job than it is that it is united.

In Biden White House, the Celebrity Staff Is a Thing of the Past
Annie Karni, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
President Biden is undoing a longstanding Washington tradition in which

Katharine Q. Seelye, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
He rose to folk hero status with his derring-do as a journalist and came to
national attention when his daughter, Senator Amy Klobuchar, spoke openly

Newspaper people learn to write in a way I never did.
Alcoholism runs in families. It did not run in mine.

Liz Cheney: The Model of a Modern Never-Trumper
Vanessa Friedman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 8 hours ago

Biden Administration Clears 3 Guantánamo Detainees for Release
Carol Rosenberg, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 12 hours ago
The men, none of whom were ever charged, would be sent to countries that
agree to impose security conditions on them. But it is not clear where they
will go or when.
The existence of the prison at Guantánamo Bay is a war crime.

Neoliberalism In India And Covid Deaths
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 14 hours ago
I’ve had my eye on India ever since I found out that calories per capita
had dropped in India over the last 30 years. That’s not what happens when
things are going well, unless a huge number of people have moved to
sedentary jobs, which they had not. Neoliberalism is about production and
supply trains. […]
Ian Welsh has an unrelievedly dark view of a dark situation.
I can find no escape for India.

U.S. and Europe to Begin Talks on Steel and Aluminum Tariffs
Jack Ewing, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
The Biden administration is trying to rebuild relations with Europe, but it
is moving cautiously to unwind tariffs imposed by President Donald J. Trump.
Donald Trump is greedy.
His trade policy and practice was greedy.
Common Europe is also greedy.
Resolving conflicts of greed requires diplomacy. Effective diplomacy is a novelty to all parties.
