Astead W. Herndon, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 55 minutes ago
In his victory speech, the president-elect said of Black voters: “You’ve
always had my back, and I’ll have yours.” Many of those voters are watching
to see what he does in office.

Trump Outflanks Dems From the Left
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 18 hours ago
So, as you’ve probably heard by now, Trump is opposing the Covid “stimulus”
bill and asking it be amended to include a $2,000 check, not a $600 on.
Pelosi says he should pass the bill then they’ll pass another bill with the
extra $1,400 (which is a ludicrous lie and we all know that.) The […]
Congress did not pass the first bill.
There will be no effective relief.

Trump Vetoes Defense Spending Bill
Emily Cochrane, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 21 hours ago

Maggie Haberman and Michael S. Schmidt, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 22 hours ago

Katie Glueck and Dana Rubinstein, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
