Bipartisan push for COVID relief begins in Senate

Biden breaks foot.

RELIEF?

Bipartisan push in Senate could produce COVID bill proposal this week

POLITICO

Depending on what number this lands on it will be interesting to see if Cocaine Mitch will get behind it. How many more opportunities will there be for a sub-$2 trillion bill with bipartisan support that would back down Pelosi will you get?

Moderna to seek emergency authorization for COVID vaccine

Biden has multiple fractures in foot, expected to recover by inauguration

CNN

If we didn’t have the pandemic, Trump challenging the results and the holidays… the oldest president ever elected getting injured before being sworn in would be a bigger story.

Yang testing waters for NYC mayoral run?

POLITICO

Not sure if this is for real or opposition planted to make Yang look unpalatable to the Biden administration or both.

Coming to terms: Have you seen his Twitter, and the continued litigation?

PA high court throws out trump election challenge: This is a misleading headline. It was a PA lawmakers case, not trump himself - JORDAN

I will say what I’ve said for the last five years… Twitter is a free message board. People say stuff on message boards all the time. Regardless of who filed the lawsuit in PA, or elsewhere, the larger goal is inextricable from election day. And those are running out. Trump will never stop flaming people online, but he’s a very forward facing guy. At some point he will look to the future.

Trumpism isn’t nationalism. Trumpism isn’t patriotism.

Trumpism isn’t even an ideology. Trumpism is a guttural response to an ideology. Cultural Marxism.

A democratic party that does not recognize that is a democratic party doomed to succumb to the next Trump...whoever that may be.

All that said... don’t start counting your Biden presidency chickens...
...2020 hasn’t hatched yet. - SCALE

Regarding Flynn, the thing about presidential pardons is they have to be accepted. I believe the Flynn team was concerned that accepting the pardon might leave them open to other legal issues related to the investigation. (This might be where the threats to go after his son might fit in, if you believe that part of the story.)  - JD

I was watching the highlights of AOC and NDP Leader/MP Jagmeet Sing playing Among Us. There's a lot of things I like about Jagmeet, but now I'm not so sure I can vote for a guy who has such a hard time priming shields. It's literally the easiest task. Got to hand it to your girl AOC though, she can pick out venting susers like a MoFo.

If the progressives call dibs on Among Us, what's the far right going to play? DOTA probably? Do you think we'll get Trump Jr and Rob Ford join up to gank some noobs? - KEN

Among Us is a great game for celebs and politicians because it has a low learning curve and it easily understandable for new viewers who are mostly there for the personality. So I don’t think any of the GOP would go for something more fast-twitch… maybe Ted Cruz playing some long-ass story game where he keeps comparing characters to Supreme Court cases or some such spit.
