☆ Democrats’ Numbers Problem
  + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( David Leonhardt | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
President Biden and Senate Democrats have a numbers problem. But Senator Dianne Feinstein’s failing health has frozen the Senate Judiciary Committee, the group that must consider any judicial nominees before the full Senate votes on them. Biden and other Democrats had hoped for the appointment of judges — both to federal trial courts (known as District Courts) and to appeals courts (known as Circuit Courts) — to be a major accomplishment this year. That plan is now in doubt because Democrats do not have the votes to confirm judges without Feinstein. Instead, about 20 Biden nominees are in limbo, and 9 percent of District Court and Circuit Court judgeships remain vacant.
☆ India Is Surpassing China in Population
  + stars: | 2023-04-19 | by ( David Leonhardt | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
The United Nations released data this morning confirming that India will soon surpass China as the most populous country. When that happens, it will be the first time in centuries that China does not have the world’s largest population. The milestone is focusing attention on both India’s potential to become a global power and the significant challenges that it faces. My Times colleagues who are based in India will be writing about the subject frequently this year, and I want to use today’s newsletter to frame these issues. If India can use its size — and China’s declining population — to catch up, the world would change again.
☆ Trump's team is way more worried about the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case and the Georgia elections investigation, Maggie Haberman says

Trump and his aides are far more concerned about the Georgia elections probe and the Mar-a-Lago case. She added that his aides are privately worried about the Mar-a-Lago case, which is "clearer-cut." "Some of his aides are very worried about the documents investigation that the Justice Department has," Haberman said. She added that the Mar-a-Lago case is a "clearer-cut issue" in comparison to the other investigations. In March, the conservative lawyer and pundit George Conway told Insider that of the cases Trump faces, he's most likely to face prison time over the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
☆ 3 Ways to Eat Less Sugar
  + stars: | 2021-09-13 | by ( David Leonhardt | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
3 Ways to Eat Less Sugar David Leonhardt Eating well in Washington, D.C. ��1. Food makers sneak sugar into more foods than you may realize. Sugar is in many brands of chicken stock, soup, salami, smoked salmon, tortillas and crackers. If you take a little time to look at labels — either at the grocery store or online — you can quickly learn which staples have added sugar and which don’t. Compare brands once, and then it’s easy to make the no-sugar items your default.
