The campaign has learned it’s not always easy appealing to progressives in
the party and moderates in the broader electorate.

Reaction must not dominate.
It has always been an error.

Bryan Pietsch and Concepción de León, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 16 minutes ago
The shooting happened as opposing rallies by far-right and far-left
activists were ending. A television news station reported that a private
security guard it had hired was being detained by the police.
Hand guns are a retail method.

Brave talk.

Trump’s Campaign Talk of Troop Withdrawals Doesn’t Match Military Reality
Michael Crowley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
President Trump has brought home few American combat troops overall even as
his pressure campaign against Iran risks a new Middle East conflict.
Ending the south Asian adventure would get Trump shot.

Week-end Wrap – Political Economy – October 11, 2020 by Tony Wikrent Dear
Readers — I had no choice but to abandon Blogger this past week. The
workaround to the miserable new version of Blogger, suggested by a reader
two weeks ago, simply would no longer work. So, sorry that this post comes
a good bit later […]

Latino, Evangelical and Politically Homeless
Jennifer Medina, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago
Hispanic evangelicals identify as religious first and foremost. That’s why,
despite his harsh rhetoric on immigration, many back President Trump.

Can Trump Squeeze More From His White Base in Pennsylvania and Beyond?
Shane Goldmacher, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 6 hours ago
With President Trump trailing Joseph R. Biden Jr. in Pennsylvania in nearly
every poll, his last refuge and perhaps best hope is to maximize the
turnout of working-class white voters.

What ‘The Babylon Bee’ Thinks Is So Funny About Liberals
Emma Goldberg, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 10 hours ago
The comedy site, a conservative answer to ‘The Onion,’ used to have Trump
squarely in its cross hairs. But now it’s less about him and more about the
people who can’t stand him.
Trump is an authoritarian and a despot.

In a Small Alabama Town, Suddenly All Politics Is National
Elaina Plott, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 12 hours ago
The race for mayor in Montevallo used to be low-key and nonpartisan. In the
Trump era, one candidate learned the hard way that’s no longer the case.
Republicans fight all opposition.

Training Tomorrow’s Newshounds
Marc Tracy, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 13 hours ago
Two new books about the press urge young people to leave their social media
feeds and read reliable news and information from many different sources.
Eye witnesses are not reliable.

Senate Republicans Denounce White House’s Offer for Coronavirus Relief
Emily Cochrane, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 17 hours ago
Even as Democrats held out for more concessions over funding and
provisions, it was the deep divisions among Republicans that were standing
in the way.
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/10/12/world/coronavirus-covid
There is not time to cut checks before election day.
The recipients can't wait.

Trump Makes First Public Appearance Since Leaving Walter Reed
Annie Karni and Maggie Haberman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 17 hours ago
The president continued to play down the threat of the virus, but the event
that the White House had previewed as a huge “peaceful protest for law and
order” was uncharacteristically brief.
People were not prepared to be cold and wet.
"They held a war and nobody came."

Turning Power of State Against Rivals, Trump Seeks Power of Authoritarians
David E. Sanger, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 19 hours ago
President Trump took a step even Richard M. Nixon avoided in his most
desperate days: openly ordering direct, immediate government action against
specific opponents, timed to serve his re-election campaign.
Putin likes the way Trump reacts.

Guantánamo Bay Navy Base Raises Health Alert and Closes Facilities
Carol Rosenberg, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 19 hours ago
Residents received little information about the source of the health scare
that halted activities at the outpost in Cuba.
The war crime continues.

Nevada Revokes Halt on Rapid Antigen Testing in Nursing Homes
Katherine J. Wu, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 22 hours ago
The reversal came just hours after the federal government threatened the
state, calling the prohibition on the tests “illegal.”
'How bad was it' is not a politically interesting question.

North Korea Unveils What Appears to Be New ICBM During Military Parade
Choe Sang-Hun, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
The weapon appeared to be bigger than the North’s previous long-range
missile, indicating that it might be able to fly farther with a more
powerful nuclear warhead. But it is untested.
Can you say "paper tiger"?
Of course you can.

The New York Times, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
The president built a system of favor-seeking at his hotels and resorts
that is unrivaled in modern American politics.
Charles Schultz drew a character named Pig Pen.
His swamp followed him home.

Without Live Music to Play, Pearl Jam Reimagines Rock Activism in 2020
Nick Corasaniti, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
The pandemic has grounded rock tours and left clubs empty. So Pearl Jam is
turning to the tools of modern politics to get out the vote.
They have an audience.

As Trump Recovers, He Retreats to a Conservative Media Safe Space
Jeremy W. Peters and Michael M. Grynbaum, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
The president is opting for settings where there is virtually no risk he
will encounter an uncomfortable question, but in doing so he is missing a
chance to talk to a broader range of voters.
A Trump coffin fitting would be fitting.
