Biden Details $2 Trillion Plan to Rebuild Infrastructure and Reshape the Economy
Jim Tankersley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 54 minutes ago
The president will begin selling his proposal on Wednesday, saying it would
fix 20,000 miles of roads and 10,000 bridges, while also addressing climate
change and racial inequities and raising corporate taxes.
Some of the spending is misdirected. The spending will happen.
The taxes will happen.

Adam Liptak, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
But the justices voiced concern that challenges to N.C.A.A. limits on pay
beyond the modest education-related sums at issue in the case could
threaten the distinction between amateur and pro sports.
College football players are professionals.
Pay them.

Mike Ives, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
Former President Donald J. Trump “inflamed, encouraged, incited, directed,

Vanessa Friedman, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago
The Nepalese-American designer on mistreatment by investors, how he’s kept
his business alive and his fears for his mom.
He should not have this problem.
Fixing it is beyond my competence.

Why Mothers Are Skeptical of Covid-19 Aid Promises
Lisa Lerer and Jennifer Medina, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 6 hours ago
For many mothers newly burdened by Covid-19, resentment lingers that the
government hasn’t helped more, and sooner. Both political parties are now
trying to court them.
Some help is on the way.

The Ludicrous Trans Wars
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 7 hours ago
I once read that about one third of North American Tribes appear to have
had roles for those born one sex who felt they were actually the other
gender. Many other cultures have also had such roles. Gender dysphoria is
not new. What is new are technologies allowing us to change the body much
more […]
The Trans wars are ludicrous.

Democrats Splinter Over Strategy for Pushing Through Voting Rights Bill
Nicholas Fandos and Michael Wines, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago
President Biden and leading congressional Democrats have made the
far-reaching bill a top priority, but some proponents believe it needs
major changes.
I will be unhappy if the Republicans succeed in limiting voting rights.

Jim Tankersley and Emily Cochrane, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 16 hours ago

Taxes will pay down the debt.

Michael S. Schmidt, Katie Benner and Nicholas Fandos, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 16 hours ago
An inquiry into the Florida congressman was opened in the final months of
the Trump administration, people briefed on it said.
It is probably unnessary to plot against Matt Gaetz.
12
Biden Announces Actions to Combat Anti-Asian Attacks
Zolan Kanno-Youngs, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 18 hours ago
“We can’t be silent in the face of rising violence against Asian
Americans,” President Biden said after an assault on a woman in New York.

Enforcing the existing law is a different problem.
13
State Dept. Reverses Trump Policies on Reproductive and Religious Freedoms
Lara Jakes, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 18 hours ago
Even as Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken similarly condemned abuses and

Trump administration’s human rights agenda.
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken is doing his job.

Here's How Democrats' Voting Rights Law Would Work
Michael Wines, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 20 hours ago
The expansive measure would set a nationwide floor on ballot access,
nullify many voting restrictions, change the way political districts are
drawn and rein in campaign donations.
This will not pass congress before the filibuster is modified.

Sharon LaFraniere and Sheryl Gay Stolberg, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
The administration is stepping up the pace of vaccinations and expanding
