Will Wright, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 46 minutes ago
The viral photo showed Adam Johnson smiling at the camera, waving with one
hand and cradling the lectern in the other.

It is good that the Justice department is not frozen.

For Trump and the Nation, a Final Test of Accountability
Peter Baker, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
The push by Democrats to impeach the president for his role in inciting the
attack on the Capitol underscores how American politics has been profoundly
shaken in ways still hard to measure.
Donald Trump has given new reasons to distrust him and his adhearants.
He is again being prosecuted for Hhigh Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The previous prosecution failed on party politics as executed by Mitch McConnell.

Democrats Are Determined to Pressure Biden to Investigate Trump
Reid J. Epstein and Lisa Lerer, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
Wide segments of the party are eager to see investigations and prosecutions
of President Trump and his allies, while President-elect Joseph Biden is
taking a more measured approach.
Trump will got to prison for his tax avoidence if nothing else.
The real problem is the program sponsored by Charles Koch and his brother.
James M. Buchanan supplied the intelectual foundations.

Kathleen Gray, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
In April, armed protesters crowded into the State Capitol in Michigan.

The first attempt is often successful. The second must either succeed or fail.

Confederate Battle Flag an Unnerving Sight in Capitol
Maria Cramer, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago
It was “outrageous” to see a man carry the flag inside the Capitol,
something not even Confederate soldiers were able to do during the Civil
War, historians said.
This is as it always has been an emblem of racism.
The American Civil War was fought in the defense of chattle slavery and the economy dependent on it.

Some of them must wait for day 1, and day 2, and 3.
Trump did not do the job.
