Short Read of the Week for January 14, 2021

In this morning’s Short Read of the Week we had a record number of articles to consider (all shown here). Because of the interesting solution it proposes for a problem that many consider to be unsolvable, the article that got the most votes was:

How Biden Can Rebuild a Divided and Distrustful Nation

We also chose to recommend:

The Roots of Josh Hawley's Rage

[our copy here]

Several of us characterized this article as “scary,” but if Josh Hawley is going to become a prominent leader of our opposition, we need to understand and begin communicating how and why his views are so extreme.
