Luke Broadwater and Emily Cochrane, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
The freshman class of the 117th Congress, featuring a new crop of
conservative women and an ascendant left, is attending an unusual
pandemic-era orientation.
The work of government never ceases.

Full Interview On The Current Situation and the Future
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 11 hours ago
I put up a couple excerpts from this interview before, but this is the full
shot. Some of it is around the election, but I redirected those questions,
generally speaking, to either discussion of the the logic of the current
situation with Covid, oligarchy and neoliberalism (which has not changed
significantly) or to what you […]
Ian Welsh is a puritan of Socialism.
He is not culturally creative.
His futures look dark.
The futures are dark and distant.
They are more distant with Biden and the Democrats.

Democrats Work to Defy History in Georgia Runoffs That Have Favored G.O.P.
Carl Hulse, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 11 hours ago
The special elections were devised by white lawmakers to dilute the power
of Black voters. But those involved in earlier contests say demographic
change and Democratic energy could allow the party to finally beat the odds.
I have no influence in Georgia.
I amm cheering for the Democrats.

Michael D. Shear, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 11 hours ago
President Trump broke his near-total silence on the coronavirus on Friday
with an appearance in the Rose Garden in which he threatened to deny New
York access to a vaccine.
It is news of another Trump tantrum.

Biden Asked Republicans to Give Him a Chance. They’re Not Interested.
Astead W. Herndon, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 13 hours ago
Joe Biden promised not only to win, but to “restore the soul of the
nation.” But the deep divisions that animated President Trump’s tenure show
no signs of receding.
I do not wish the Trump post election efforts success.

Economic Demands Test Biden Even Before Inauguration
Ben Casselman and Jim Tankersley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 15 hours ago
With the recovery slowing and coronavirus cases surging, Democrats must
decide whether quick action on federal aid is more important than its scale.
Biden has no power to act on aid yet.
He makes the right noises.
11
Christopher Krebs Hasn’t Been Fired, Yet
David E. Sanger and Nicole Perlroth, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 17 hours ago
Mr. Krebs’s government agency contradicted President Trump’s false claims
that the election was rigged. At this point, Mr. Krebs, a former Microsoft
executive, still has a job.
Federal employees try to do the jobs they are paid for.

Emily Bazelon, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
The president has suffered a string of defeats in pursuing legal action

Katie Benner and Adam Goldman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago

Trump Loses String of Election Results Lawsuits
Alan Feuer, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago

Michigan and Arizona.
Trump can and will attempt to appeal.

Who Needs a Call From Your Opponent When the Pope Is on the Phone?
Thomas Kaplan and Katie Glueck, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
Joe Biden’s first week as president-elect included conversations with world
leaders, a little time at his beach house and paying minimal attention to
the president who refuses to concede.
The president elect has diplomatic duties.

Alan Rappeport and Jeanna Smialek, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago

America Can Have A Boom Economy Six Months From Whenever It Gets Serious
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 1 day ago
One of the great problems in America and most of the Western world is that
we have been unable to accomplish anything important for over 50 years. The
last significant US project was the moon landing. Failure or muddled
success is the norm, now. The US even loses or even muddles all its wars,
and […]
The Republican senate insists on failure.
