As Covid Cases Surge, More Public-Health Experts Say Lockdowns Aren’t the Answer (WSJ)
As Covid-19 cases surge across large parts of Europe and the U.S., officials are reluctant to force another round of nationwide lockdowns of the sort imposed in March.

It’s a zero sum game — either you’re with them one hundred percent, or you’re the enemy. Whether you’re in politics, media, academia, or entertainment, it’s the same story. [Read More]
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., opted not to question Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett during her confirmation hearing on Tuesday, instead treating the Senate Judiciary Committee to a nearly half-hour presentation on how big-money donors have influenced both the Republican Party and the Supreme Court.
Whitehouse tied issues like abortion and health care to large donations to conservative judicial groups and statements from Republicans about court selections, such as a quote from President Trump that is related to an Affordable Care Act case that will go before the Supreme Court in November.
