    What is so hard to understand about this? Rahm Emanuel helped cover up the murder of Laquan McDonald. Covering up a murder is disqualifying for public leadership. This is not about the “visibility” of a post. It is shameful and concerning that he is even being considered.

    Following progressive backlash against reports that Rahm Emanuel was being considered for transportation secretary, Joe Biden may now be considering the former Chicago mayor for the somewhat less visible position of U.S. trade representative.

    First in Transition Playbook: , , launch petition against Bruce Reed, a veteran Biden staffer. Reed has history backing cuts to Social Security, they said. Rejecting Reed will be "major test for the soul" of Biden admin

    i think progressives should be wary of hyping up new federal offices as a means of "taking action." where my organizational sociology friends at

    . praise Kerry’s climate envoy appointment as “encouraging.” “But it is not enough. What good is it to engage in diplomacy abroad if we’re not doing everything we can at home?” Progressives want a domestic counterpart & an Office of Climate Mobilization

    Georgia’s had 400+ virus outbreaks in K12 schools. But districts w/ mask mandates are doing far better than those w/o, and I found. 1 district that went back w/ masks reported no outbreaks. Another, w/o, saw a beloved teacher almost die.

    "Governor Cuomo's daily press conferences were a whole new dimension in public information," the Emmys president says. "No one who saw it know it will be easily forgotten."

    Turnout for the Public Service Commission race will inevitably go up by combining with the Senate runoffs, but Daniel Blackman () argues he'll be an asset to Warnock and Ossoff, too, as he's campaigning on issues directly of concern to disenfranchised voters
