One big takeaway from the Biden presidency so far is that the argument that "people with lots of government experience know how to get things done" turned out to be... 100000% correct

For @TheAtlantic, I wrote about how we’re facing a doom loop of minority rule by white conservatives and the next two years may be our last chance to avoid slipping into it forever. Our leaders must treat this as the crisis that it is and act with urgency. https://t.co/yryxbjNWLR https://t.co/WkOPEOc7Wz

@vermontgmg It is, and combined with the nomination of Ken Polite as head of DoJ Crim Division, suggests that while the top two DOJ jobs (AG and DAG) will be held by LE traditionalists, their senior circle will have a lot of criminal justice reform credentials

New: Biden picks former New Jersey attorney general Anne Milgram to lead the DEA. Milgram has spent years trying to reform what she calls the outdated, gut-driven criminal justice system https://t.co/GnMfjkFqOm

Really good @anniekarni and @KannoYoungs piece about Biden's "jobs cabinet." (Cabinet secretaries selling a plan without fear that the president will see something on TV and tweet something that undermines them is a throwback) https://t.co/BvUVsZLaoT

I actually gasped while reading this. A deep dive with receipts looking at how Facebook overlooks inauthentic behavior and platform manipulation by foreign leaders in countries that aren't a high PR risk for Facebook. @juliacarriew @szhang_ds

How about that. Jen Easterly as the next @CISAgov Director, Rob Silvers as Under for Policy, and Chris Inglis as NCD are brilliant picks. Don’t forget Anne Neuberger as Dep NatSecAdvisor already in place. My goodness. This is a team. https://t.co/9SKFrpyPDG https://t.co/YnYntRQvBw

The @NRSC gave an award to Donald trump. Over the weekend, trump called @LeaderMcConnell — senate gop leader — a dumb son of a bitch. Below is the photo of @SenRickScott giving trump the award, included in an email the nrsc sent out this morning. https://t.co/VCr3a4gy0C

Biden to tap Tucson, Arizona police chief, Chris Magnus, to serve as CBP commissioner, and Ur Jaddou to serve as director of USCIS. Jaddou, who formerly worked at USCIS, had been widely speculated as the incoming head of the agency.
