    [Have deleted post w missing NOT that reversed meaning!] Good thread by TL;DR new tax allegs about H Biden should be reported on, vetted But that does NOT confer “retrospective rehabilitation” on NYPost/ Giuliani effort several months ago Worth reading to end

    This piece is part of the Atlantic canon.

    What’s a latke? It’s a shredded Andean tuber, fried like a buckwheat pancake, which was substituted for Italian cheeses, once eaten to honor a mistaken reading of obscure variants of an apocryphal text. But it’s crispy, and delicious.

    Mitch McConnell is blocking bipartisan aid. Any characterization of this situation as “Congress at an impasse” is a lie. There is a bipartisan, bicameral agreement. The President even wants something. The problem is McConnell. He’s blocking the deal.

    Library fines have been around for a century & initially used to generate $ and ensure books get returned. Many communities are rethinking why libraries exist, and how fines (don't) serve their communities. Lots of good stuff to chew on from

    Re-upping this thread, in face of if-anything-broadening attacks on the mechanisms of democracy itself. A new administration has to do *something* to reckon w things Trump has wrought. But what? First cut at a triage list.

    1/ The reader’s-guide/ action-plan summary of my current piece in . It addresses ever-more-acute issue of how Biden should deal with what Trump has wrought. First, need for triage. New admin faces emergencies on all fronts. (See screenshot)

    Useful ‘signal vs noise’ by longtime China expert . Check out what he says on Swalwell, which some media are handling as next “but her emails!” Evid so far seems to be that, as soon as FBI let Swalwell know about Fang, his office cut all contact

    Unless you're a certain kind of conservative, you probably haven't heard of Robert Bork, but he's one of the most important people you've never heard of. The best way to understand Bork is that he was Ronald Reagan's court sorcerer. 1/

    I agree with this line of argument. (In the mainstream journalism / thinktank world, Tom Mann and deserve significant credit for starting to say this nearly a decade ago )

    The fact that most GOP leaders don't condemn any of this means that we don't have a polarization problem, we have a democracy problem. I study polarization and I'm increasingly convinced that it's the wrong problem to address. The two parties are not equally extreme. 1/

    2/ Next, on across-the-board issues of corruption: This is mainly a job for the states. And for federal issues, task it to appoint eminent AttyGen/ Inspectors general, and get out of their way. This should be Trump's problem, not Biden's.
