    150 years ago, South Carolina’s first congressional district elected the first Black American to the U.S. Congress. 140 years later, that same district honored me with the same opportunity. and I spoke about this important legacy.

    This is interesting, in 2017 Democrats tried to disrupt certification of the EC results, w/ Joe Biden presiding.

    Oh, come on. If Republicans try it, they would likely adopt as their model the House Democrats who, on January 6, 2017, tried to disrupt certification of Electoral College results.

    On Jan 11 Professor Zhang Yongzhen’s team published the genome sequence of COVID19 on open platforms when he/they realized the govt was suppressing the information. The next day his lab in Shanghai was shuttered. A serious candidate for person of the year.

    This part of the Trump admin’s approach towards Russia was utterly overlooked and instead was viewed as an embarrassment and baked into the “he’s mean to allies” narrative. Nordstream2 is a big problem for NATO and it’s absurd to look the other way.

    It was Trump's opposition that made NordStream2 problematic but Berlin knows Biden's people (like Obama's) will never make Germany choose between relying on the US militarily & relying on the Russians for cheap energy. Germany is happy to be Russia's energy hostage every winter

    There is a bigger story to be told here, but the bottom line is that what did to Adam was a disgrace. So is the fact that there wasn't a massive and public union campaign to defend him.

    Tulsi! Excellent.

    My 'Protect Women’s Sports Act' simply protects the rights & interests of girls & women who participate in sports so they can compete on a level playing field. Denying biological differences between men & women undermines the reason why Title IX was created in the first place.

    This video could not possibly misrepresent Chanukah more egregiously. Chanukah is not about “tikkun olam” or universalist notions of “fighting for justice.” The Chanukah story is one of Jewish particularism, traditionalism, and nationality repelling the forces of secularism.

    Hanukkah is one of our favorite holidays -- and a reminder to spread the light at a time when we've never needed it more. From our big, modern family to yours, happy Hanukkah!

    “White supremacy” update.

    Asian Americans had the biggest income growth of any racial or ethnic group in the U.S. over the past decade and a half -- almost 8%, U.S. Census Bureau data show. Income for Latinos grew by about 6%, but non-Hispanic whites and Blacks saw less growth.

    “No one dared to speak out under that situation, but Zhang Zhan went to report on the frontline and against the government line. That's why the authorities think she was trying to harm the government.”

    Reporters, western humanitarians workers, and analysts are not safe in China. We are going to learn this lesson the hardest way possible aren’t we.

    Awful. Chinese authorities have detained Haze Fan, who works for Bloomberg News in Beijing, on suspicion of “endangering national security.” Maybe Bloomberg can see if Xi’s advisors can kindly ask for her release since Xi a “constituency” to answer to.

    It’s also something Trump has highlighted among the list of his accomplishments, and aside from the small but loud Tucker Carlson wing of the R base, it’s popular (and I’m not sure it isn’t just Tucker who doesn’t like it tbh)

    Ending support to the CIA’s CT mission makes the least amount of sense w/in the context of the shift to GPC. A relatively small footprint in the region w/ lots of sniping terror chiefs has not been a bad way to go.
