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…
