David E. Sanger, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 55 minutes ago
The move, which will require companies to report to the government any
significant attacks, is a response to the Colonial Pipeline ransomware
attacks.
"Windows" software cannot be hack resistant.
There is no other barrier to the world wide web.
Reporting will make that apparent.

Annie Karni, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
In a speech, the former House speaker called on the Republican Party not to
move forward in Donald Trump’s image, though he did not criticize the
former president by name.
"Mr. Trump responded on Friday morning with a lengthy statement calling
Mr. Ryan “a curse to the Republican Party,” adding that “he has no clue
as to what needs to be done for our Country, was a weak and ineffective
leader."
Another magic astorisk.

Jim Tankersley, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago
The president’s plans to invest in infrastructure, education, health care

At these interest rates "there is nothing to fear but fear itself."

Republicans Present $928 Billion Counteroffer to Biden on Infrastructure
Emily Cochrane, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
The plan’s total price tag came close to what the president has said he
would consider, but it included only a fraction of the new spending he has
requested. A compromise faces long odds.
"A day late and a dollar short"
The loan is called.

How Finance Sharks Destroy Industries: Chicago Tribune Edition
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 6 hours ago
This isn’t going to be a long one. The way private-equity and other
takeover artists today work is simple. They buy a company up and then load
it up with debt to pay for having bought it. They generally take healthy
companies (ToysRUs was running a profit), then once taken over slash and
cut. The […]
Republicans have never been rational about business management.
Democrats are marginally better.

Katharine Q. Seelye, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
Walter shed his Bavarian accent, while Henry notably did not. Asked why he
lost his, Walter told interviewers, “Because I am the Kissinger who
listens.”
The kissingers were never very rational.
Henry is well out of government.

Biden’s Silence on Abortion Rights at a Key Moment Worries Liberals
Lisa Lerer, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 8 hours ago
As a case before the Supreme Court threatens Roe v. Wade and Democrats’
urgency grows, many activists believe the president needs to be bolder in
defending reproductive rights.
Biden is not able to defend or attack abortion.

Carl Zimmer, James Gorman and Benjamin Mueller, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 9 hours ago
Many scientists welcomed President Biden’s call for a more rigorous
investigation of a virus lab in Wuhan, China, though they said the

Later it may not be possible.
