Windows smashed, cabinets broken and residue from pepper spray on the floors. Lawmakers, police and cleaning crews returned to the Capitol on Thursday to survey the damage left by the pro-Trump mob.

Here's what it looked like. nyti.ms/2JTqggt

These display cabinets that used to be filled with historical books of women in politics lay on the ground destroyed. nyti.ms/2MKlgvN

The runoff victories in Georgia by the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff have given control of the Senate to the Democrats.

Here's a look at how votes across the state shifted to the Democrats, letting them flip two seats the Republicans held for years. nyti.ms/2Lvfyxj

In November, Georgia shifted just far enough left to give Joe Biden a narrow victory there.

In the Senate runoffs, nearly every part of the state shifted even further left, giving the two winning candidates even bigger margins of victory than Biden’s. nyti.ms/3s6jqW4

Much of Biden’s core of support in November came from in and around Atlanta. A look at those counties in the runoffs shows even stronger support for Warnock and Ossoff. nyti.ms/3s6jqW4

Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered New York's state-run hospitals to stop suing patients over unpaid medical bills when the pandemic began. Almost all of the major private hospitals voluntarily followed.

But its largest health system, run by Cuomo’s ally, did not. nyti.ms/3rWo2OE

Northwell Health, which is run by one of Cuomo’s closest allies, has sued 2,500 patients over medical debt during the pandemic. Records show it has sued over unpaid bills as small as $700. nyti.ms/3rWo2OE

Many patients are worried Northwell Health would seize their paychecks and leave them unable to pay rent. nyti.ms/3rWo2OE

New York is facing a growing crisis over the lagging pace of coronavirus vaccinations. The number of people who died on Monday was the highest daily count since the dark days of the spring. nyti.ms/3pMxEcJ

Mayor Bill de Blasio called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration to allow New York City to vaccinate a broader array of essential workers and people 75 or older. “There’s lots more we can do if we have both those categories approved,” he said. nyti.ms/3pMxEcJ

Shortly after de Blasio spoke, Cuomo rejected any notion that his administration was at fault and threatened to fine hospitals up to $100,000 — and redirect future vaccines to other hospitals — if they didn’t rapidly increase the pace of vaccinations. nyti.ms/3pMxEcJ

Every weeknight, Steve Kenny, the senior editor for nights at The New York Times, sends an email to editors and reporters all over the world that recaps the news.

Collectively, these notes tell the story of an unforgettable year. nyti.ms/38bxtC5

With the subject: “Late note,” these emails are little chronicles of the world as it unfolds. They recount, in unadorned sentences largely free of affect, what happened on any given day. Some of these events will be forgotten. Many will linger and scar. nyti.ms/38bxtC5

The time stamps are a catalog of the small hours: 1:14 a.m., 3:37 a.m., 4:12 a.m., 2:34 a.m. Meant to prepare the daytime staff for the next day, the emails are written and sent when a great many are in bed, falling asleep or trying to. nyti.ms/38bxtC5

President Trump had plenty of opportunities during the 2020 campaign to show leadership in the fight against the virus, but interviews with dozens of current and former administration officials show how his instinct was to put his political fortunes first. nyti.ms/3o4vJ2Y

Aides and advisors’ couldn’t get President Trump to promote mask wearing because he thought it would hurt him with his political base. Even his own campaign’s polling data to the contrary couldn’t sway him. nyti.ms/3o4vJ2Y

In an Oval Office meeting on Sept. 24, President Trump told senior health advisers that he wanted a coronavirus vaccine before Election Day, according to three people who witnessed his demand. Trump was worried that Joe Biden would get credit, not him. nyti.ms/3o4vJ2Y
