Donald Trump is out of public view, exacting revenge on his political enemies, ranting about a stolen election and risking allies on Capitol Hill, who are starting to concede that he has lost, our @playbookplus authors say 👇politico.com/newsletters/pl…
Trump has hardly made public appearances since the election and canceled his Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago. politico.com/newsletters/pl…
Trump has fired a DHS official who said the election was safe and secure and fired the Defense secretary. He's also sidelined the CIA director. politico.com/newsletters/pl…
Trump and his administration are hardly engaged with Congress on the issues of the day — including new measures to fight the pandemic. And the administration is not anywhere closer to allowing the Biden team to transition into power. politico.com/newsletters/pl…

The Trump campaign withdrew its last remaining federal lawsuit in Michigan this morning, falsely claiming that local election officials had declined to certify the Detroit-area’s vote tabulation even though they voted unanimously to do so Tuesday night politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
At the heart of the Trump campaign’s claim are two affidavits — filed by the GOP election officials who joined Dems to certify the votes in Wayne County Tuesday night — claiming they only did so under significant public pressure politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
The two officials both initially voted to oppose certifying the results, potentially upending the count of hundreds of thousands of votes in Detroit and its suburbs. But within hours they reversed and backed certification. politico.com/news/2020/11/1…

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has secured her caucus’s nomination for another term leading the House as Democrats kicked off their multi-day leadership elections for the new Congress today politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
Pelosi is running unopposed and only needed a simple majority of the Democratic Caucus during the secret ballot vote. But she’ll still have to clinch 218 votes on the House floor in January to officially become speaker. politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
Democrats will also nominate House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) for new terms — cementing the trio that has ruled the caucus for the last 14 years politi.co/2IMIAHD

Nancy Pelosi and her top deputies aren't going anywhere. But the House Dem leadership elections that begin this week will likely reveal what a post-Pelosi future might look like. Here’s who's in play in the caucus elections: politi.co/2UBkkdY Image
Hakeem Jeffries is running unopposed for a second and final term as the House Democratic Caucus chair. His decision to run again suggests he's not trying to take on Pelosi, despite a whisper campaign by some Dems hoping he’d do so.

As for the contested races, Katherine Clark and David Cicilline are vying for the party’s No. 4 position, assistant speaker. (The job is currently held by Ben Ray Luján, who was just elected to the Senate.) politi.co/2UBkkdY ImageImage

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey are now testifying before the Senate Judiciary panel. This marks Zuckerberg's third appearance before Congress in 2020 alone. politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
But the lawmakers themselves remain deeply divided. Republicans once again are focused on their accusations that big social media companies systematically censor conservatives. Dems say the companies continue to let their platforms propagate falsehoods. politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) plans to use his opening remarks to call on Facebook and Twitter to take more aggressive steps to crack down on misleading content, while ripping Republicans for dedicating the hearing to allegations of political bias politico.com/news/2020/11/1…

Thread: America is deeply divided over health care. And the first challenge for President-elect Joe Biden is coronavirus – and the promise of vaccines.

Some takeaways from our chat with @harvardhsph’ Robert Blendon and our own @JoanneKenen 👇
Covid-19 has split Americans into camps: Those who fear fighting the virus means locking down the economy, and those who don’t see you how can revitalize the economy without conquering the virus, they said.
Trust in science in low – and not just among Republicans, Blendon’s analysis of polls has found.

Biden vowed to “surround himself” with scientists like Dr. Anthony Fauci – and follow their advice.
