Jim Tankersley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago

recovery.
Biden is getting his work in priority order.

Harold N. Bornstein, Trump’s Former Personal Physician, Dies at 73
Katharine Q. Seelye, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
He attested that President Trump would be the “healthiest president ever,”
but he was later expelled from his orbit.
Doctors are supposed to recognize disease in themselves and in others.
This must be a case of willful blindness.

Simply bad luck.

Trump and Aides Drove Family Separation at Border, Documents Say
Michael D. Shear, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
Notes and testimony from a Justice Department official implicate President
Trump and White House aides in the “zero tolerance” policy that led to
family separations at the border.
A human scale tragedy with a human scale solution.
Another grounds for prosecution.

Jaime Harrison Said to Be Pick for Next D.N.C. Chair
Lisa Lerer and Jonathan Martin, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
Mr. Harrison, a veteran of South Carolina politics, was the Democratic
nominee against Senator Lindsey Graham and shattered fund-raising records
in the race.
Joe Biden has shown himself as a good judge of Democrats.

As His Predecessor Is Impeached, Biden Tries to Stay Above the Fray
Michael D. Shear and Michael Crowley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago
The president-elect has long tried to keep from being sucked into President
Trump’s dramas. He may find that posture hard to maintain when he takes
office and the Senate puts Mr. Trump on trial.
Biden is not involved in the Trump promoted raid on congress.

Pressure Mounts on Republicans to Buck Trump
Shane Goldmacher and Nick Corasaniti, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 4 hours ago
A lengthening list of blue-chip giants of corporate America are pledging to
cut off funds to Republicans who opposed certifying the election, and
Democrats are planning ad campaigns against them.
Trump will take as many of partisans with him as he can.

The Impeachment of President Trump: A Preordained Coda to a Presidency
Peter Baker, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 4 hours ago
The impeachment of President Trump for a second time — in a Capitol ringed
by troops — seemed like the almost inevitable culmination of four years
that left the nation fractured, angry and losing its sense of self.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coda_(music)
The form of a coda
is not fitting.
The terminal impeachment seems to be an intended exit for Trump.

Trump Impeached for Inciting Insurrection
Nicholas Fandos, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
President Trump became the first president to be impeached twice, after the
House approved a single charge citing his role in whipping up a mob that
stormed the Capitol. He faces a Senate trial that could disqualify him from
future office.
Insurection was the Trump presidency.
It has been a reanimation of the original Ku Klux Klan.

Giovanni Russonello, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
Trump enters the history books. Now what will McConnell do? This is your
morning tip sheet.
Mitch McConnell will be in the minority.

Maggie Haberman and Michael S. Schmidt, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago

and after he told his supporters in the hours following the start of the
riot last week that “we love you.”

Inside the Capitol for Impeachment: National Guard in Every Corner
Emily Cochrane, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 15 hours ago
One week after the siege of the Capitol, lawmakers impeached President
Trump a second time under heavily armed guard.
The National Guard is state militias and is commanded by the various state governors.

Amid Riot Chaos, Some National Security Leaders Are Absent From View
Katie Benner, Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Adam Goldman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 16 hours ago
The Trump administration’s response to the attack, incited by the
president, has lacked broad reassurances to a country on edge.
If I were attached to the Trump administration I would try a new career.

A Fitting Coda to a Presidency
Peter Baker, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 17 hours ago
The impeachment of President Trump for a second time — in a Capitol ringed
by troops — seemed like the almost inevitable culmination of four years
that left the nation fractured, angry and losing its sense of self.
Best efforts to delete Trump from the historical record would be good.
15
Impeachment Briefing: Trump Is Impeached, Again
Noah Weiland, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 18 hours ago
The House impeached President Trump for inciting a violent insurrection
against the U.S. government.
The persistent echo continues.

A Proud Boys Supporter Threatened Violence Against the Rev. Raphael Warnock
Ed Shanahan and Nicole Hong, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 18 hours ago
The Proud Boys are racists.
17
A Republican Lawmaker for Whom the Spectacle Is the Point
Katie Rogers and Dave Philipps, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 18 hours ago
Rep. Lauren Boebert represents an increasingly clamorous faction of the
party that carries Mr. Trump’s anti-establishment message and is ready to
break all norms in doing so.
For antiestablishment read racist.

Matthew Rosenberg and Ainara Tiefenthäler, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 19 hours ago
Most of the far right has expired labels.

More Arrests Made Amid New Calls for Investigation of Capitol Attack
Alan Feuer and Luke Broadwater, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 19 hours ago
Democratic lawmakers also demanded answers about visitors to the Capitol a
day before the riot.
There is little need to investigate the event.
The participants should be found and identified.

A man charged with threatening Pelosi also mused about shooting the Washington mayor, prosecutors say.
Hailey Fuchs, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 23 hours ago
Threats are often called assault.
