January 6, 2021
Congress is under lockdown, with the Senate recessing its Electoral College debate, as Trump supporters breached the Capitol on Wednesday and overwhelmed federal police.
Iâm currently sheltering in place. The Capitol building has been breached and both chambers are locked down.

President-elect Joe Biden received the coronavirus vaccine on Monday morning, following the suit of various congressional leaders. Vice President Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy all publicly received the vaccine.
Biden said in a statement released on Friday that he hoped to “build confidence” in the scientific process. This is about more than politics. This is about saving lives. I look forward to receiving the vaccine publicly on Monday and continuing to build confidence in the scientific process. Vaccines don’t save lives, vaccinations do.

“Suspected Russian mega-hack,” I should say. As far as I’m aware, the feds haven’t proved yet that it was Russia’s foreign intelligence service, the SVR. But it has the proverbial “hallmarks” of their work, according to people who understand this stuff.
I’ve stayed away from this story because I lack the technical knowledge to add anything to it and, alas, our government getting hacked by foreign malefactors barely qualifies as “news.” But if you’re avoiding it for similar reasons, the time to tune in is now. The more I read, the more it sounds like the worst security breach in American history. Bar none.
