The New York judge's ruling presuming to decide what the ⁦@nytimes⁩ can and cannot print contrary to Supreme Court precedent "is jaw dropping in its constitutional illiteracy," writes ⁦@RuthMarcus⁩ https://t.co/z3DMcwRIkx — PolitiTweet.org

Private-sector wages grew 4.6% year over year in the 3rd quarter, with the biggest gains in the service industry, though inflation will eat away at that. White-collar professionals saw their biggest salary jump in nearly 20 years. ⁦@laurenweberWSJ⁩ https://t.co/2SkCIRUic0 — PolitiTweet.org

Russian court again extends prison sentence for Yuri Dmitriyev, a famed Gulag historian and human rights activist serving time on what defenders say are trumped up charges retaliating for his work exposing Stalin-era crimes. https://t.co/0gHusgjcg1 — PolitiTweet.org

In "It's a Wonderful Life" Mary is the real hero, ⁦@MonicaHesse⁩ argues smartly and correctly in this timely column. But was that really in doubt? Of course she is, as even Uncle Billy highlights in the last scene. "Mary did it, George! Mary did it!" https://t.co/69gx0O9qoS — PolitiTweet.org

More than 3,000 flights around the world today and tomorrow have been canceled largely due to omicron-related staffing shortages, stranding many Christmas travelers trying to travel for the holiday. @giuliaheyward @derrickbryson @yanzhuang25 https://t.co/u0oe165ftn — PolitiTweet.org

While the economy has been surging, analysts see signs that omicron may sap its momentum. Many businesses are closing briefly, entertainment venues have canceled shows, universities are shifting classes online again. ⁦@sechaney⁩ ⁦@HarrietTorry⁩ https://t.co/tfdNdcB5zX — PolitiTweet.org

Hillary Clinton says Harris is treated unfairly: “There is a double standard; it’s sadly alive and well. A lot of what is being used to judge her, just like it was to judge me, or the women who ran in 2020, or everybody else, is really colored by that.” — PolitiTweet.org

Cuellar says he found Harris unresponsive on the border: “I say this very respectfully to her: I moved on. She was tasked with that job, it doesn’t look like she’s very interested in this, so we are going to move on to other folks that work on this issue.” — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

Harris is caught between criticism that she is falling short and resentment that she is undercut by her own administration. Her allies fret that while Biden relied on her to win, he does not need her to govern. ⁦@katierogers⁩ ⁦@KannoYoungs⁩ https://t.co/cNp0vJlXPF — PolitiTweet.org

The annual rate of inflation hit 5.7% in November, the highest since 1982, sapping consumer confidence even at a time when job openings far exceed available workers and wages are rising. @jeannasmialek https://t.co/oV5heMje2o — PolitiTweet.org

Biden promised 500 million covid tests but they won't come quickly: The government has yet to even sign a contract and the website for ordering the tests is not yet up. “That’s not a plan — it’s a hope." ⁦@shearm⁩ ⁦@SherylNYT⁩ https://t.co/21iWwHV9Wr — PolitiTweet.org

Yale medical expert ⁦@gregggonsalves⁩ argues that Biden is failing on covid: "Sadly, what we saw this week was an administration floundering and a president not in command of facts or willing to shift course in any substantial way on the pandemic." https://t.co/NayDgbr0io — PolitiTweet.org
