Why Ruth Bader Ginsburg Refused to Step Down
Emily Bazelon, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 55 minutes ago

David E. Sanger, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago

algorithms. The code and algorithms are the magic sauce that Beijing now
says, citing its own national security concerns, may not be exported to
to a foreign adversary."
Trump made a bad deal.
