Good morning readers. I’m focused on a handful of big stories and overarching topics this week, but by no means must you limit your questions to them.
There’s a ceasefire in the Middle East.
Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees began their confirmation hearings.
Will Merrick Garland and Joe Biden really allow Donald Trump and Pam Bondi to bury the second part of Jack Smith’s report?
Biden delivered his farewell address.
The U.S. TikTok ban is approaching; Southern California fires, and recriminations, still burn; inauguration is on Monday.
I’ll take questions in comments and during this afternoon’s live chat. Members, BOLO for the chat invitation, around 2 p.m.
UPDATE: Alright, last chat of the Biden presidency…
