McDaniel doesn’t say Trump will play a central role in leading the GOP; she doesn’t say he won’t. Yet there are subtle hints. She repeatedly talks about the need to change the party’s rhetoric to a more “civil” tone, especially toward women, and focus on policy over personality. — PolitiTweet.org

D.B. Cooper suspect Sheridan Peterson dies at 94. Quite the Renaissance man: — helped establish freedom schools in the Deep South in 1965. — spent years in Vietnam during the War assisting refugees. — Witnessed/decried Tiananmen Square massacre in 89. https://t.co/jozcX80ht3 — PolitiTweet.org

Maxine Cheshire, Post reporter and columnist with “the guts of a cat burglar,” dies at 90. Ben Bradlee said, admiringly, in his memoir that Maxine started as many fires that he had to put out as executive editor than anyone but Woodward and Bernstein. https://t.co/EhaSwih7Gl — PolitiTweet.org

@JonahDispatch @mtgreenee Even if you took that excuse at face value, which you’re right that we shouldn’t, it also doesn’t explain the video of her harassing Hogg etc. — PolitiTweet.org

And it should go without saying: President Biden won the election fair and square, by 7 million votes. Anyone who refuses to acknowledge this reality is playing dangerous games, lying to their supporters and recklessly endangering the future of our republican form of government. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s decision to relocate most of the Bureau of Land Management from DC to Colorado — a move designed to shift power away from the capital — resulted in an exodus of more than 87% of the affected employees, who either quit or resigned. ⁦@eilperin⁩ https://t.co/bVZNTIm1SX — PolitiTweet.org

One bright spot in 2020 is that the personal saving rate hit the highest on record, and some businesses are betting that — combined with a vaccine rollout, the December stimulus and any future Biden stimulus — all that saving will power a swift rebound. 🤞 https://t.co/kwmskV2PP8 — PolitiTweet.org

Among Americans who can work from home, the unemployment rate is 3.9 percent. But the rate is 8.5 percent for people who have to report to a job site. https://t.co/kwmskV2PP8 — PolitiTweet.org

For every business that has thrived in the era of social distancing, like gardening supply stores, literally dozens of others have gone under as customers stay home and governments restrict activity. I hear anecdotal reports every day of more bankruptcies. https://t.co/kwmskV2PP8 — PolitiTweet.org

2020 was the first time our economy contracted (3.5 percent) since 2009, when GDP shrank by 2.5 percent during the depths of the Great Recession. “Economically speaking, we’re not out of the woods yet,” said Ben Herzon, executive director at IHS Markit. https://t.co/kwmskV2PP8 — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. economy shrank by 3.5 percent last year as the novel coronavirus upended American business and households, making 2020 the worst year for U.S. economic growth since the depths of the Great Recession. https://t.co/kwmskV2PP8 — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Clyburn likens Biden’s call for unity to his 58-year marriage. (His wife died in 2019.) “There was never any disunity to our marriage,” he told @mviser. “But there was a whole lot of difference of opinion. We were seldom unanimous in what we did and what we thought.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser to Obama, moved to temper the realm of the possible: “The ‘unity’ conversation is going to be constantly distorted with unfair expectations, bad faith arguments, and general stupidity.” — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Coming up with a common definition for what unity should mean has proved impossible to unify around. “I’ll know it when I see it,” Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) told @AnnieLinskey. “Isn’t that what they say about pornography?” (Potter Stewart homage) https://t.co/RIzG7AnYm1 — PolitiTweet.org
