CDC Loosens Guidance on Quarantining: Why it matters: The shift marks a significant change in how the nation deals with COVID-19 more than two years after the pandemic began. A majority of Americans are now fully vaccinated against the virus or have been exposed to it. “This guidance acknowledges that the pandemic is not over, but helps us move to a point where COVID-19 no longer severely disrupts our daily lives.”

Inside the War Between Trump and His Generals: How Mark Milley and others in the Pentagon handled the national-security threat posed by their own Commander-in-Chief. The gulf between Trump and the generals was not really about money or practicalities, just as their endless policy battles were not only about clashing views on whether to withdraw from Afghanistan or how to combat the nuclear threat posed by North Korea and Iran. The divide was also a matter of values, of how they viewed the United States itself.

On the Trump Front, This Week Has Been a Year. What Will Come of It? In the days since the federal search, Trump has been at great pains to whip his supporters and sycophants into a towering frenzy, it was not too much of a reach. All of a sudden there were Republican officeholders calling for the defunding, if not outright destruction, of the FBI. Cries of “totalitarian state” were raised, as Trump’s allies accused the FBI of being an arm of the president’s wrath. This is ironic, as that is what Trump tried to do with the FBI while he was in office.
