The administration plans to release $1.3 billion that was meant to help
Puerto Rico rebuild after Hurricane Maria in 2017, and will remove
restrictions on another $4.9 billion.
The Trump administration were sadists.
Speaking Spanish was enough of a reason for them.

Republicans Pitch Biden on Smaller Aid Plan as Democrats Prepare to Act Alone
Luke Broadwater and Jim Tankersley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
The president met at the White House with Republican senators seeking a
much smaller stimulus plan, but congressional Democrats pressed forward to
force through his $1.9 trillion measure, if necessary.
1.9 trillion in reliefe is less than it should be.

Trump's Lawyers Are Unlikely to Focus on Election Fraud Claims
Maggie Haberman and Nicholas Fandos, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
While Mr. Trump has argued for it, his lawyers will instead echo the
argument of many Republicans that the impeachment trial of a former
president is unconstitutional.
Trump may stand convicted.

Nicholas Fandos and Maggie Haberman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago
Trump has lawyers.
He will want them.

inordinately from remote learning.
The black families are doing the right thing.

Jim Tankersley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 4 hours ago
New projections from the independent Congressional Budget Office fuel
Republicans’ calls for “targeted” economic aid — and Democrats’ push to go
big.
It is still too early to open the economy and the schools.

Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Charlie Savage, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 4 hours ago
A whistle-blower accused Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II of an abuse of power in

The Trump administration was sadistic.

Mr. Palladino, a private investigator who had worked for Bill Clinton and
other famous clients, died four days after he sustained a severe head

He was an expensive tool that met a sad end.

Jonathan Martin, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
Mr. Ryan, who mounted a long-shot campaign for president in 2019, plans to
compete for the state’s open Senate seat. His campaign will test Democrats’
strength in a state tilting to the right.
It is to be seen if he can win the primary.

How Trump Is Pocketing Donors' Cash for the Future
Shane Goldmacher and Rachel Shorey, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
With breathless, often misleading appeals, the former president promised
small donors that he was using the money to fight the election results, but
in fact stored much of it for future use.
Trump is sleasy. He dreams of a future in politics.

Biden Faces Pressure to Make Amends on Family Separation
Miriam Jordan, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
Restitution, mental health services and legal permanent residency are among

U.S. Aircraft Carrier Returning Home After Long Sea Tour Watching Iran
Eric Schmitt, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 6 hours ago
The Pentagon had extended the deployment of the Nimitz in the Middle East
after Iranian threats against President Donald J. Trump and U.S. troops in
the region.
An aircraft carrier is the wrong tool for the job.
The crew deserves liberty and the ship a workover if not a refit.

Biden Is Determined To Lose Congress In 2022
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 10 hours ago
One thing I admire about Biden is his principles. He’s spent his life
hurting little people, and something as minor as holding Congress isn’t
going to make him change his ways now. Make a promise, win an election,
break your promise in the most weasely and public way possible. I’m talking
about $2,000 checks. There […]
Biden will get Georgians and others as big a check as he can.
The $600 checks are not cut yet.
Ian Welsh cannot have president Sanders.

An Emboldened Extremist Wing Flexes Its Power in a Leaderless G.O.P.
Annie Karni and Mike Baker, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 12 hours ago
As more far-right Republicans take office and exercise power, party
officials are promoting unity and neutrality rather than confronting
dangerous messages and disinformation.
The Republican party is welcome to fragment.
They can follow the other Whigs.

Biden’s Approval Rating Is Trump’s in Reverse
Giovanni Russonello, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 15 hours ago
Support from a slim majority might be all President Biden can expect — and
maybe it’s all he needs.
The Democratic party is not a stranger political fighting.

What We Learned from Trump's Effort to Overturn the 2020 Election Results
Matthew Rosenberg and Jim Rutenberg, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 21 hours ago
A Times examination of the 77 days between election and inauguration shows
how a lie the former president had been grooming for years overwhelmed the
Republican Party and stoked the assault on the Capitol.
Trump was plotted against. He lost election.
The Democrats built the plot.
