TIL: About what has been happening in politics the last few weeks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I spent the better part of the day catching up on several weeks of NY Times newsletters. I get the newsletters daily, but don't read them regularly. Instead of potentially being depressed every day by what's going on in the world, I condense my news consumption into weekly or bi-weekly chunks. I hear about things randomly in between, but this way I'm somewhat emotionally protected while still feeling fully informed.
So today I learned:
- The president is still acting as if COVID is not a thing, and a thing or two about his finances and taxes over the last 20 years.
- The white house warned some investors COVID would be a problem while telling the public there was nothing to worry about.
- I'd heard about Ruth Bader Ginsberg's death and Amy Contey Barrett's Supreme Court nomination. I now have more details on her confirmation hearings -- including the 99.99% likelihood she'll be confirmed and what that will mean to civil rights in America.
