At this point, stories that make a big deal about how rapidly omicron is spreading without also pointing out how much less lethal it is -- especially for vaccinated people -- are being irresponsible.

In fact, having a variant like this crowd out the more virulent forms and become endemic is a good outcome. We can live with a disease that is generally no worse than the flu and, with a vaccine, no worse than a bad cold.

Trump's attempt to keep his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection a secret is being heard right now by a three-judge panel of the Circuit Court of Appeals, District of Columbia.

The judges seem ... skeptical of Trump's demands.

Trump's lawyers keep bringing up GSA v Nixon, which was superseded by the Presidential Records Act.

Trump's lawyers are still up, getting harshly grilled about why Trump's insistence that his records be kept secret should overrule Biden's determination that the national interest demands that they be released.

She also refused to say whether the reporting in Jon Karl's book, that Trump threatened to leave the Republican to create his own, was accurate.
