<li><strong>A suggested method to disrupt SARS-CoV-2 spikes using ketone bodies in analogy to the effect of biocidal agents.</strong> -
<div>
Biocidal agents such as formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde are able to inactivate several coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2. In this article, an insight into the mechanism of inactivation of these viruses by those two agents is presented, based on analysis of previous observations during electron microscopic examination of several members of the orthocoronavirinae subfamily, including the new virus SARS-CoV-2. This inactivation is proposed to occur through Schiff base reaction-induced conformational changes in the spike glycoprotein leading to its separation from the virion. Also, a new prophylactic and therapeutic measure using acetoacetate is proposed, suggesting that it could similarly break the viral spike through Schiff base reaction with lysines of the spike protein. This measure needs to be confirmed experimentally before consideration. In addition, a new line of research is proposed to help find a broad spectrum antivirus against several members of of this subfamily.

<li><strong>Paired heavy and light chain signatures contribute to potent SARS-CoV-2 neutralization in public antibody responses</strong> -
<div>
Understanding protective mechanisms of antibody recognition can inform vaccine and therapeutic strategies against SARS-CoV-2. We discovered a new antibody, 910-30, that targets the SARS-CoV-2 ACE2 receptor binding site as a member of a public antibody response encoded by IGHV3-53/IGHV3-66 genes. We performed sequence and structural analyses to explore how antibody features correlate with SARS-CoV-2 neutralization. Cryo-EM structures of 910-30 bound to the SARS-CoV-2 spike trimer revealed its binding interactions and ability to disassemble spike. Despite heavy chain sequence similarity, biophysical analyses of IGHV3-53/3-66 antibodies highlighted the importance of native heavy:light pairings for ACE2 binding competition and for SARS-CoV-2 neutralization. We defined paired heavy:light sequence signatures and determined antibody precursor prevalence to be ~1 in 44,000 human B cells, consistent with public antibody identification in several convalescent COVID-19 patients. These data reveal key structural and functional neutralization features in the IGHV3-53/3-66 public antibody class to accelerate antibody-based medical interventions against SARS-CoV-2.

<li><strong>Direct detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA using high-contrast pH-sensitive dyes</strong> -
<div>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating effects on health, healthcare infrastructure, social structure, and economics. One of the limiting factors in containing the spread of this virus has been the lack of widespread availability of fast, inexpensive, and reliable methods for testing of individuals. Frequent screening for infected and often asymptomatic people is a cornerstone of pandemic management plans. Here, we introduce two pH sensitive ″LAMPshade″ dyes as novel readouts in an isothermal RT-LAMP amplification assay for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The resulting JaneliaLAMP (jLAMP) assay is robust, simple, inexpensive, has low technical requirements and we describe its use and performance in direct testing of contrived and clinical samples without RNA extraction.

<li><strong>Marine Debris Mitigation – Plastic Neutrality through a Credit System in Southeast Asia</strong> -
<div>
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 12: Responsible consumption and production and 14: Life Below Water coincide in the targeting of the problem of plastic marine litter, which has been garnering immense media attention in the recent years. In the Bangkok Declaration of 2019, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) vowed to significantly reduce marine litter. Efforts to reduce unnecessary plastic consumption have been seen in social movements, corporate policies and most noticeably, in regulatory control in the form of bans for specific types of single-use plastic items. A paradox exists as, arguably, civilization cannot sustain its current developmental momentum without the use of plastics, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic demanding higher levels of hygiene. This is the argument that is seen coupled with mass bans of single-use plastics, including packaging material and personal protective equipment. Corporate engagement to manage the plastic value chain in ways that commit to the creation of circular economies is attaining popularity. While reduction and substitution are being considered, the status quo of the scale of the production of plastics is still expected for the next few years as life cycle assessments (LCA), test trials of consumer acceptance towards novel delivery mechanisms and other forms of innovation are emerging. The reduction of plastics in the private-sector is allegedly ongoing but intangible in Southeast Asia. While recovery and collection innovations are underway for application and picking up speed, an unfathomable rate of marine litter entering waterways is still aggravating the bigger-than-ever problem of plastic marine debris in Southeast Asia. Responsible production has long adopted the concept of credits. Carbon credits are the most notable one, while palm oil credits are also prominently purchased by manufacturers to offset any palm oil content that is not yet sourced from certified sustainable suppliers. The concept of credits for plastics has been proposed but remains much less explored than their counterparts for other commodities. “Plastic neutrality” in the form of credit purchasing by manufacturers could likely be the final missing piece of the puzzle picturing a circular economy. In theory, the credit system could serve as an offsetting mechanism to recover from nature an equivalent or higher amount of plastics to be produced by the credit-purchasing responsible manufacturer. This paper explores how plastic neutrality through Plastic Credits, similar to the existing carbon and sustainable palm oil credits, could be applied in Southeast Asia.

<li><strong>Decline in Marriage Associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States</strong> -
<div>
In the social upheaval arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not yet know how union formation, particularly marriage, has been affected. Using administration records - marriage certificates and applications - gathered from settings representing a variety of COVID-19 experiences in the United States, we compare counts of recorded marriages in 2020 against those from the same period in 2019. We find a dramatic decrease in year-to-date cumulative marriages in 2020 compared to 2019 in each case. Similar patterns are observed for the Seattle metropolitan area when we analyze the cumulative number of marriage applications, a leading indicator of marriages in the near future. Year-to-date declines in marriage are unlikely to be solely due to closure of government agencies that administer marriage certification or reporting delays. Together, these findings suggest marriage has declined during the COVID-19 outbreak and may continue to do so, at least in the short term.

<li><strong>Nonspecific blood tests as proxies for COVID-19 hospitalization: are there plausible associations after excluding noisy predictors?</strong> -
<div>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
This study applied causal criteria in directed acyclic graphs for handling covariates in associations for prognosis of severe COVID-19 (Corona virus disease 19) cases. To identify nonspecific blood tests and risk factors as predictors of hospitalization due to COVID-19, one has to exclude noisy predictors by comparing the concordance statistics (AUC) for positive and negative cases of SARS-CoV-2 (acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). Predictors with significant AUC at negative stratum should be either controlled for their confounders or eliminated (when confounders are unavailable). Models were classified according to the difference of AUC between strata. The framework was applied to an open database with 5644 patients from Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in Brazil with SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription - Polymerase Chain Reaction) exam. C-reactive Protein (CRP) was a noisy predictor: hospitalization could have happen due to causes other than COVID-19 even when SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR is positive and CRP is reactive, as most cases are asymptomatic to mild. Candidates of characteristic response from moderate to severe inflammation of COVID-19 were: combinations of eosinophils, monocytes and neutrophils, with age as risk factor; and creatinine, as risk factor, sharpens the odds ratio of the model with monocytes, neutrophils, and age.

<li><strong>The evaluation of a newly developed antigen test (QuickNavi™-COVID19 Ag) for SARS-CoV-2: A prospective observational study in Japan</strong> -
<div>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
<b>Introduction</b> Several antigen tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been developed worldwide, but their clinical utility has not been well established. In this study, we evaluated the analytical and clinical performance of QuickNavi™-COVID19 Ag, a newly developed antigen test in Japan. <b>Methods</b> This prospective observational study was conducted at a PCR center between October 7 and December 5, 2020. The included patients were referred from a local public health center and 89 primary care facilities. We simultaneously obtained two nasopharyngeal samples with flocked swabs; one was used for the antigen test and the other for real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Using the results of real-time RT-PCR as a reference, the performance of the antigen test was evaluated. <b>Results</b> A total of 1186 patients were included in this study, and the real-time RT-PCR detected SARS-CoV-2 in 105 (8.9%). Of these 105 patients, 33 (31.4%) were asymptomatic. The antigen test provided a 98.8% (95% confident interval [CI]: 98.0%-99.4%) concordance rate with real-time RT-PCR, along with a sensitivity of 86.7% (95% CI: 78.6%-92.5%) and a specificity of 100% (95% CI: 99.7%-100%). False-negatives were observed in 14 patients, 8 of whom were asymptomatic and had a low viral load (cycle threshold (Ct) &gt;30). In symptomatic patients, the sensitivity was 91.7% (95% CI: 82.7%-96.9%). <b>Conclusion</b> QuickNavi™-COVID19 Ag showed high specificity and sufficient sensitivity for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. This test is a promising potential diagnostic modality especially in symptomatic patients.

<li><strong>Face masks, old age, and obesity explain country's COVID-19 death rates</strong> -
<div>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
We tested the hypothesis that not wearing face masks, old age, and obesity can largely explain COVID-19 death rates across countries. In the regression analysis, they contributed to 61.5%, 40.5%, and 43.8%, respectively, and a model including all these variables contributed to 70.2% of the variation in the cumulative number of COVID-19 deaths per million on May 13, 2020, in 22 countries. We also proposed the hypothesis that these variables may be confounders of other suspected factors with large differences between Western and non-Western countries, such as the BCG vaccination policy. These results contribute to the elucidation of differences in COVID-19 death rates between countries and support a suspected causal effect of face masks.

<li><strong>Country-level Determinants of the Severity of the First Global Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Ecological Study</strong> -
<div>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Objective: We aimed to identify the country-level determinants of the severity of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: An ecological study design of publicly available data was employed. Countries reporting &gt;25 COVID-related deaths until 08/06/2020 were included. The outcome was log mean mortality rate from COVID-19, an estimate of the country-level daily increase in reported deaths during the ascending phase of the epidemic curve. Potential determinants assessed were most recently published demographic parameters (population and population density, percentage population living in urban areas, median age, average body mass index, smoking prevalence), Economic parameters (Gross Domestic Product per capita); environmental parameters: pollution levels, mean temperature (January-May)), co- morbidities (prevalence of diabetes, hypertension and cancer), health system parameters (WHO Health Index and hospital beds per 10,000 population); international arrivals, the stringency index, as a measure of country-level response to COVID-19, BCG vaccination coverage, UV radiation exposure and testing capacity. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyse the data. Primary Outcome: Country-level mean mortality rate: the mean slope of the COVID-19 mortality curve during its ascending phase. Participants: Thirty-seven countries were included: Algeria, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States. Results: Of all country-level predictors included in the multivariable model, total number of international arrivals (beta 0.033 (95% Confidence Interval 0.012,0.054)) and BCG vaccination coverage (-0.018 (-0.034,-0.002)), were significantly associated with the mean death rate. Conclusions: International travel was directly associated with the mortality slope and thus potentially the spread of COVID-19. Very early restrictions on international travel should be considered to control COVID outbreak and prevent related deaths.

<li><strong>Assessing concerns for the economic consequence of the COVID-19 response and mental health problems associated with economic vulnerability and negative economic shock in Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom</strong> -
<div>
Currently, many different countries are under lockdown or extreme social distancing measures to control the spread of COVID-19. The potentially far-reaching side effects of these measures have not yet been fully understood. In this study we analyse the results of a multi-country survey conducted in Italy (N=3,504), Spain (N=3,524) and the United Kingdom (N=3,523), with two separate analyses. In the first analysis, we examine the elicitation of citizens’ concerns over the downplaying of the economic consequences of the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. We control for Social Desirability Bias through a list experiment included in the survey. In the second analysis, we examine the data from the same survey to estimate the consequences of the economic lockdown in terms of mental health, by predicting the level of stress, anxiety and depression associated with being economically vulnerable and having been affected by a negative economic shock. To accomplish this, we have used a prediction algorithm based on machine learning techniques. To quantify the size of this affected population, we compare its magnitude with the number of people affected by COVID-19 using measures of susceptibility, vulnerability and behavioural change collected in the same questionnaire. We find that the concern for the economy and for “the way out” of the lockdown is diffuse and there is evidence of minor underreporting. Additionally, we estimate that around 42.8% of the populations in the three countries are at high risk of stress, anxiety and depression, based on their level of economic vulnerability and their exposure to a negative economic shock. Therefore, it can be concluded that the lockdown and extreme social distancing in the three countries has had an enormous impact on individuals’ mental health and this should be taken into account for future decisions made on regulations concerning the pandemic.

<li><strong>Connected Despite COVID-19: The Role of Social Interactions and Social Media for Wellbeing</strong> -
<div>
Physical distancing is crucial for slowing the spread of COVID-19, but the associated reduction of social interaction can be detrimental to psychological wellbeing. Here, we sought to understand whether different ways in which people connect to others might mitigate this negative impact. We examined how amount and type of social interactions and social media use would predict wellbeing during a period of physical distancing in the United Kingdom. In a 30-day diary study conducted in April-June 2020, 108 participants reported their daily social interactions and social media use, as well as their end-of-day wellbeing. Using multilevel regressions, we found that more face-to-face interactions positively predicted wellbeing, while technology-mediated communication had less consistent positive effects on wellbeing. More active and less passive social media use was associated with greater wellbeing. Our results suggest that while technology-mediated communication can improve wellbeing, face-to-face interactions are unique and important for wellbeing during physical distancing.

<li><strong>Airborne Transmission of Virus-Laden Aerosols inside a Music Classroom: Effects of Portable Purifiers and Aerosol Injection Rates</strong> -
<div>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shifted attention to the airborne transmission of exhaled droplet nuclei within indoor environments. The spread of aerosols through singing and musical instruments in music performances has necessitated precautionary methods such as masks and portable purifiers. This study investigates the effects of placing portable air purifiers at different locations inside a classroom, as well as the effects of different aerosol injection rates (e.g., with and without masks, different musical instruments and different injection modes). Aerosol deposition, airborne concentration and removal are analyzed in this study. It was found that using purifiers could help in achieving ventilation rates close to the prescribed values by the World Health Organization (WHO), while also achieving aerosol removal times within the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended guidelines. This could help in deciding break periods between classroom sessions, which was around 25 minutes through this study. Moreover, proper placement of purifiers could offer significant advantages in reducing airborne aerosol numbers (offering orders of magnitude higher aerosol removal when compared to nearly zero removal when having no purifiers), and improper placement of the purifiers could worsen the situation. The study suggests the purifier to be placed close to the injector to yield a benefit, and away from the people to be protected. The injection rate was found to have an almost linear correlation with the average airborne aerosol suspension rate and deposition rate, which could be used to predict the trends for scenarios with other injection rates.

<li><strong>Using Predictive Analytics for Public Policy: The Case for Lost Work due to the COVID-19</strong> -
<div>
In this brief research article, I demonstrate how predictive analytics or machine learning can be used to predict outcomes that are of interest in public policy. I developed a predictive model that determined who were not able to work during the past four weeks because the COVID-19 pandemic led their employer to close or lose business. I used the Current Population Survey (CPS) collected from May to November 2020 (N=352,278). Predictive models considered were logistic regression and ensemble-based methods (bagging of regression trees, random forests, and boosted regression trees). Predictors included (1) individual-, (2) family-, (3) and community or societal- level factors. To validate the models, I used the random training test splits with equal allocation of samples for the training and testing data. The random forest with the full set of predictors and number of splits set to the square root of the number of predictors yielded the lowest testing error rate. Predictive analytics that seek to forecast the inability to work due to the pandemic can be used for automated means-testing to determine who gets aid like unemployment benefits or food stamps.

<li><strong>Rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 on copper touch surfaces determined using a cell culture infectivity assay</strong> -
<div>
COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, was first reported in China in 2019 and has transmitted rapidly around the world, currently responsible for 83 million reported cases and over 1.8 million deaths. The mode of transmission is believed principally to be airborne exposure to respiratory droplets from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients but there is also a risk of the droplets contaminating fomites such as touch surfaces including door handles, stair rails etc, leading to hand pick up and transfer to eyes, nose and mouth. We have previously shown that human coronavirus 229E survives for more than 5 days on inanimate surfaces and another laboratory reproduced this for SARS-CoV-2 this year. However, we showed rapid inactivation of Hu-CoV-229E within 10 minutes on different copper surfaces while the other laboratory indicated this took 4 hours for SARS-CoV-2. So why the difference? We have repeated our work with SARS-CoV-2 and can confirm that this coronavirus can be inactivated on copper surfaces in as little as 1 minute. We discuss why the 4 hour result may be technically flawed.

Pelosi faced no challengers, but had little margin for error given her party’s slender majority in the new Congress. Despite having expected to expand their majority in the 2020 elections, Democrats actually <a href="https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-donald-trump-race-and-ethnicity-iowa-elections-d7c101e1432fbe49191f26d41d6c6832">lost ground</a> and now hold just <a href="https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1345778856779800576?s=20">222 seats</a> in the chamber — four more than the 218 needed for a bare majority — with two races still undecided. In total, the GOP picked up at least nine seats.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="D1T87q">
To retain the speakership, Pelosi needed only to receive a simple majority of votes in the full House. But she faced questions over whether she would be able to achieve that majority.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="sOPheu">
Among other issues, several Democratic House members — such as Wisconsin Rep. Gwen Moore — have tested positive for the coronavirus in recent weeks. Moore ultimately <a href="https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/1345826871234228225?s=20">ended up voting on the House floor</a> anyway, despite <a href="https://twitter.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1345788322950602753?s=20">not having tested negative</a> for Covid-19 since her positive test on December 28.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="PLAbdS">
The absence of two Republican representatives-elect because of positive Covid-19 tests — David Valadao of California and Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida — also made the math somewhat easier for Pelosi.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="OS1Dqp">
Nonetheless, there was concern that, as in 2018, Pelosi would face opposition to her bid from within the Democratic Party — and that this time it might be enough to derail her chances.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="cBAL3G">
After the 2018 midterms, more than a <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/11/15/18095869/nancy-pelosi-speaker-votes-democrats-letter">dozen Democrats opposed another speaker’s term</a> for Pelosi, arguing that their party needed new leadership. Some of those who were against Pelosi then, like former New York Rep. Max Rose, lost reelection; others, like Pennsylvania’s Rep. Conor Lamb, remain in the House. Ahead of Sunday’s vote, there were lingering questions about how these lawmakers — as well as first-term members who had been silent about their intentions — might vote on Sunday.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="iySpC6">
Lamb <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1345825120267493379?s=20">voted</a> for New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the chair of the House Democratic Caucus, on Sunday.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="LvLzBR">
But Jeffries himself was confident about Pelosi’s chances ahead of the vote Sunday, telling <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rep-hakeem-jeffries-pelosi-will-be-next-speaker">Fox News</a>, “Nancy Pelosi will be the next speaker of the United States House of Representatives and I look forward to placing her name into nomination.”
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="dVvjcb">
And Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly suggested to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/03/politics/nancy-pelosi-speaker-vote/index.html">CNN</a> that concerns about Pelosi’s ability to secure majority support were overblown, saying, “If Nancy can do anything, it is that she knows how to count.”
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="LBQWGG">
Ultimately, Pelosi was able to marshal enough votes to stay in power, with previously undeclared first-term members like New York <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1345812464278110213?s=20">Rep. Jamaal Bowman</a> choosing to support her for a fourth term as speaker.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="sY9VDK">
However, the 117th Congress will likely be Pelosi’s last as speaker. In 2018, she <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/12/12/18138499/nancy-pelosi-house-speaker-votes-term-limits">struck a deal with Democrats who opposed her run</a> — promising that she would abide by proposed term limits for House leadership, meaning she would be able to serve only four more years.
</p>
<h3 id="0H62XA">
Pelosi will face a new set of challenges in the 117th Congress
</h3>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="FiR802">
Now that she has secured her position as speaker, Pelosi will face the early challenge of her majority dwindling even further, albeit likely just temporarily.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="7InnVS">
At least three House Democrats — Reps. Cedric Richmond, Marcia Fudge, and Deb Haaland — have been tapped for jobs in the <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/11/17/933848488/biden-administration-heres-who-has-been-nominated">Biden administration</a>, leaving their seats vacant. (Richmond, who is in line to serve as director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, does not need to be confirmed for the job, though Fudge and Haaland do.)
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="MgiyID">
All three currently serve in <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-16/pelosi-approves-of-haaland-leaving-u-s-house-for-biden-cabinet">comfortably Democratic districts</a> which are likely to remain blue if their current occupants leave for a Biden administration — but the seats will take time to fill, temporarily leaving Pelosi with as few as 219 Democratic votes.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="5wUppb">
Even once those seats are filled — assuming they are won by Democrats, as is likely — Pelosi will have to find a way to govern an occasionally fractious, diverse caucus and pass legislation with fewer votes to spare than she had in the last Congress. Unless she wins Republican votes, which is an unlikely prospect when it comes to many Democratic legislative priorities, she’ll be able to lose just four votes.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="5Iu2vj">
And Pelosi will preside over a deeply divided caucus — a split that was evident in the days immediately following the election, in which moderate members <a href="https://www.vox.com/21562362/house-democrats-2020-election-aoc-spanberger">blamed progressives for losses</a>, and that saw progressives call for even bolder action on issues like <a href="https://www.vox.com/22165471/progressive-immigration-reform-biden-jayapal">immigration</a> and <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/12/17/22179577/biden-student-debt-house-resolution">education</a>.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="AWOSJC">
The need for nearly every vote from both sides of the caucus will give individual members a greater ability to force compromises on legislation, a fact Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, acknowledged recently.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="hS8lBC">
“Anytime you have a very narrow majority it gives a lot of different parts of the caucus power. Progressives will have power but so will more conservative Democrats. So this will have to be a case where we are thoughtful, careful on how and when we weigh in on things and work as much as we can across the caucus as well,” Jayapal told <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/slim-majority-progressives-aim-leverage-power-push-biden-congress-left-1557041">Newsweek</a> in December.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="NRhnMY">
However, it’s not all bad news for Pelosi. For the first time since she yielded the speaker’s gavel in January 2011 following a Republican wave in the 2010 midterm elections, she will have an ally in the White House in the form of President-elect Joe Biden. What’s more, should Democrats win a pair of Senate runoffs in Georgia this week, the Democratic Party could enjoy unified control of the government for the first time since January 2011.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="ldbKAd">
If Democratic Senate nominees Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock win out against incumbent Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler Tuesday, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will become the tie-breaking vote on January 20, tipping control of the chamber to the Democratic Party and making New York Sen. Chuck Schumer the majority leader.

Trump told the Georgia official: “I just want to find 11,780 votes.”
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="dsvhW5">
President Donald Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, to “find” almost 12,000 nonexistent votes during a Saturday phone call, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-raffensperger-call-georgia-vote/2021/01/03/d45acb92-4dc4-11eb-bda4-615aaefd0555_story.html?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=wp_main">according to a report by Amy Gardner of the Washington Post</a>. Inventing those votes would change the outcome of the election in that state, tipping its electoral votes to Trump over President-elect Joe Biden.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="6c9NKp">
Over the course of a more than hour-long phone call, a recording of which was obtained by the Post, Trump raised a series of baseless, debunked conspiracy theories — and variously cajoled and threatened Raffensperger to find some way to award him the victory in Georgia, a state Trump lost by <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/results-georgia.html">11,779 votes</a>.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="oZMV23">
“All I want to do is this,” Trump told Raffensperger on the call. “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="lRrHmm">
Ryan Germany, the general counsel to the Georgia secretary of state’s office, was also on the call, according to the Post, as were White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and conservative lawyer Cleta Mitchell.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="JkugnH">
Trump had earlier acknowledged the call in a tweet, but framed it very differently, claiming the men spoke about allegations of election fraud, which Raffensperger has disproven several times. Sunday’s Washington Post story reveals what was discussed in far more detail.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="3RRWb8">
“I spoke to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger yesterday about Fulton County and voter fraud in Georgia,” <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1345731043861659650?s=20">Trump tweeted Sunday morning</a>. “He was unwilling, or unable, to answer questions such as the ‘ballots under table’ scam, ballot destruction, out of state ‘voters’, dead voters, and more.

</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="8An9Ms">
“That’s a criminal offense,” Trump tells Raffensperger and Germany on the call, apparently in reference to Raffensperger not reporting made-up instances of election fraud. “And you can’t let that happen. That’s a big risk to you and to Ryan, your lawyer. And that’s a big risk.”
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="XE0t6Y">
Trump also raised a number of conspiracy theories resembling those promoted by onetime Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, who was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/11/22/giuliani-releases-statement-distancing-trump-campaign-lawyer-sidney-powell/">cut loose</a> by the Trump campaign’s legal team as her election fraud allegations became increasingly outlandish.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="PDIe3F">
Powell, who has pushed a series of election lawsuits with scant — and sometimes purely <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/sidney-powells-secret-intelligence-contractor-witness-is-a-pro-trump-podcaster/2020/12/24/d5a1ab9e-4403-11eb-a277-49a6d1f9dff1_story.html">fictitious</a> — evidence of fraud. She has also repeatedly falsely asserted that voting machines designed by <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/voting-machine-firm-demands-pro-trump-attorney-retract/story?id=74783255">Dominion Voting Systems</a> helped to steal the 2020 election from Trump.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="Qz8dHe">
In reality, President-elect Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election by 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232, and with a popular vote margin of <a href="https://cookpolitical.com/2020-national-popular-vote-tracker">more than 7 million votes</a>. Recounts in battleground states like <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/07/politics/georgia-recount-recertification-biden/index.html">Georgia</a> and <a href="https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-joe-biden-donald-trump-madison-wisconsin-7aef88488e4a801545a13cf4319591b0">Wisconsin</a> — both won by Biden — have turned up no evidence of large-scale fraud or irregularities that could have affected the results of the election.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="hX5q5a">
In all 50 states and Washington, DC, the election results have been carefully reviewed by state officials and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/09/politics/2020-election-results-certified/index.html">certified</a> as accurate. And <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/12/02/fact-check-claim-dominion-tech-altered-georgia-votes-false/3792599001/">Dominion’s machines</a> have been found to have operated correctly.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="KdlK4i">
Nonetheless, Trump aired a version of the Dominion conspiracy during his Saturday call.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="cIfO9h">
“Now, do you think it’s possible that they shredded ballots in Fulton County?” Trump asked Germany on the call. “Because that’s what the rumor is. And also that Dominion took out machines. That Dominion is really moving fast to get rid of their machinery. Do you know anything about that? Because that’s illegal, right?”
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="OG499f">
As Germany affirmed on the call, none of Trump’s allegations are true.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="wI39tY">
Despite the Trump legal team’s move to disavow Powell, Trump has reportedly remained enamored with her theories. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/19/us/politics/trump-sidney-powell-voter-fraud.html">According to a New York Times report from December</a>, he briefly considered naming Powell as special counsel to investigate his baseless claims of voter fraud, though he was ultimately talked down by aides.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="D3QkfV">
And as recently as Sunday, he <a href="https://twitter.com/SidneyPowell1/status/1345571395921735680?s=20">retweeted</a> a message from Powell alleging — again, without even a shred of evidence — “massive fraud.”

“You have a big election coming up and because of what you’ve done to the president — you know, the people of Georgia know that this was a scam,” Trump said on the call. “Because of what you’ve done to the president, a lot of people aren’t going out to vote, and a lot of Republicans are going to vote negative, because they hate what you did to the president.”

Georgia voters set a record for early-voting turnout ahead of Tuesday’s runoffs, <a href="https://www.ajc.com/politics/early-voting-ends-with-record-3m-georgia-voters-for-us-senate-runoffs/47HZD2AAXRDZDCHPJXKNZVKRTE/">according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution</a>, with more than 3 million votes cast ahead of Election Day on January 5. But as <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/12/15/22176161/trump-perdue-loeffer-rigged-election-runoffs">Vox’s Aaron Rupar</a> has written, there are some indications Trump’s efforts to spread doubt about the security of the election may have depressed Republican participation so far.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="Kpc6Zp">
And Republicans are likely to need every vote to ensure victories in both races. Polling suggests that both races are more or less a toss-up: <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/georgia-senate-polls/">According to FiveThirtyEight’s polling averages</a>, Democratic Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock lead incumbent Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler by around 2 percentage points each.

Trump will be back in Georgia on Monday for a final <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/03/trump-georgia-stakes-tuesdays-runoffs-453901">preelection rally</a>, though if his <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/12/5/22156585/trump-valdosta-georgia-rally-loeffler-perdue-grievances">last Georgia rally</a> is any indication, he will likely stray to other topics, such as his grievances against Raffensperger and Georgia Gov.

</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="FQnIBp">
“You would be respected, really respected if this thing could be straightened out before the election,” Trump told Raffensperger on the call Saturday. “You have a big election coming up on Tuesday.”

To date, Raffensperger has resisted Trump’s efforts to overturn the election, and Sunday, responded to Trump’s characterization of the call by <a href="https://twitter.com/GaSecofState/status/1345753643593687040?s=20">tweeting</a>, “Respectfully, President Trump: What you’re saying is not true.

The Republican <a href="https://twitter.com/nielslesniewski/status/1345788116662165507?s=20">Senate majority</a>, meanwhile, dwindled slightly to just 51 seats ahead of a pair of decisive runoffs in Georgia this Tuesday. That’s down from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s 53-seat margin for most of the 116th Congress, a majority that fell briefly to just 52 seats last month after Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, a Democrat, was <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/02/politics/mark-kelly-swearing-in-arizona-senator/index.html">sworn in on December 2</a> following his special-election victory.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="C7y44k">
The Georgia runoffs mean that the Senate seat previously belonging to incumbent Sen. David Perdue will temporarily stand vacant between Sunday and the January 5 election, though Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who is facing a special election runoff, will retain hers at least through January 5.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="4kzWPk">
Beyond Kelly winning a seat previously held by Republican Sen. Martha McSally, two other Senate seats changed hands in November, with Democratic Sen. John Hickenlooper ousting incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner in Colorado and Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville defeating incumbent Democrat Sen. Doug Jones in Alabama. However, given the affiliations of both victors, those elections will have no effect on the chamber’s overall balance of power.

A first-term class full of firsts
</h3>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="LMaoTP">
In addition to the partisan changes, the 117th Congress has ushered in a number of demographic firsts.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="hZ2Wxz">
In the House, <a href="https://abc7ny.com/ny-congressman-congress-swearing-in-ritchie-torres-mondaire-jones/9313011/">Rep. Mondaire Jones</a> (D-NY) became the first openly gay Black man to serve in Congress, while Democrat New York <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/ritchie-torres-is-making-afro-latino-lgbtq-political-history-in-congress-on-his-own-terms">Rep.

</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="gaC2y5">
Reps.

And at just 25 years old, Rep. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/04/politics/madison-cawthorn-house-north-carolina/index.html">Madison Cawthorn</a> (R-NC) is the youngest person to serve in Congress in the modern era, according to CNN.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="SqMVZj">
The new House also includes more women than ever, breaking a record set by the <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/11/7/18024742/midterm-results-record-women-win">116th Congress</a>. Of the <a href="https://www.politico.com/interactives/2021/new-women-of-congress/">118 women in the House</a>, 89 are Democrats and 29 Republicans.

A new test for Nancy Pelosi
</h3>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="rldkEW">
In addition to swearing in new members, the House will also elect a new speaker Sunday. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who reclaimed the gavel after the 2018 midterms, is <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/01/03/952422397/pelosi-poised-to-be-reelected-speaker-but-slimmer-majority-makes-it-tight">expected to win another term</a> in the job, though she’ll have little margin for error with a slender new majority.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="uzMgnc">
Pelosi, 80, has led the House Democratic caucus for 17 years and must receive a simple majority of votes in the full House to retain the speakership. A handful of Democrats have already signaled they plan to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/03/politics/nancy-pelosi-speaker-vote/index.html">refuse to back Pelosi’s bid</a>, but likely not enough to derail Pelosi’s bid for the gavel.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="gFkXd8">
However, the 117th Congress will likely be Pelosi’s last as speaker. In 2018, she struck a deal with fellow Democrats in the House that she would only seek two more years in the job, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/18/politics/houses-democrats-leadership-election-nancy-pelosi-moderates-progressives/index.html">according to CNN</a>.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="FiR802">
Should she again become speaker, Pelosi will face the early challenge of her majority dwindling even further, albeit likely just temporarily. At least three House Democrats — Reps. Cedric Richmond, Marcia Fudge, and Deb Haaland — have been tapped for jobs in the <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/11/17/933848488/biden-administration-heres-who-has-been-nominated">Biden administration</a>, leaving their seats vacant. (Richmond, who is in line to serve as director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, does not need to be confirmed for the job, though Fudge and Haaland do.)
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="MgiyID">
All three currently serve in <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-16/pelosi-approves-of-haaland-leaving-u-s-house-for-biden-cabinet">comfortably Democratic districts</a> which are likely to remain blue if their current occupants leave for a Biden administration — but the seats will take time to fill, temporarily leaving Pelosi with as few as 219 Democratic votes.
</p>
<h3 id="83YCHL">
The Senate is still up in the air
</h3>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="7upQIp">
In the Senate, McConnell’s slim majority — and thus his tenure as majority leader in the 117th Congress — could prove ephemeral, depending on how Tuesday’s high-stakes Georgia runoffs shake out.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="NieD0B">
With two days until voters head to the polls in Georgia, incumbent Republicans Perdue and Loeffler both trail their respective Democratic challengers — Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock — by less than 2 percentage points, <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/georgia-senate-polls/">according to FiveThirtyEight’s polling average</a>, making both of the races essentially toss-ups.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="tAJ21u">
Biden won the state in November this year, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to win in Georgia since 1992, and Trump has <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-raffensperger-call-georgia-vote/2021/01/03/d45acb92-4dc4-11eb-bda4-615aaefd0555_story.html">focused</a> much of his ire over his election loss on Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="ykMmNo">
If Democrats win both races, however, that will boost their margin in the chamber to 50 seats (counting independent Sens. Bernie Sanders and Angus King, who caucus with Senate Democrats). With the inclusion of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, who could become the tie-breaking vote once she’s sworn in on January 20, Democrats would hold the majority for the first time since the <a href="https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Majority_Minority_Leaders.htm">113th Congress</a>, which ended in January 2015.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="kEEtmu">
Warnock’s victory would be particularly historic: If he wins, he will be <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/02/us/politics/raphael-warnock-georgia-senate.html">the first Black senator ever elected in the state of Georgia</a>.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="7jhYQb">
If either Perdue or Loeffler, or both, win reelection, though, McConnell will hold onto the majority, and President-elect Joe Biden is likely to find working with the Senate <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-georgia-health-elections-coronavirus-pandemic-48f1fc66dd56be64db94cc6bb69560a8">much more difficult</a>.

What happened?” Julia asked concerned.<br/> “I tried to do your trick, but as I laid my hand on his dick, it was actually quite warm. I didn’t know what to say, so I asked him:<br/> <em>Why isn't your dick cold, like Peter’s?</em>”

<li><strong>Indian student in USA(NSFW)</strong> - <!-- SC_OFF -->
<div class="md">
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
The teacher said: "Let's begin by reviewing some American History.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?"
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
She saw a sea of blank faces except for Chandrasekhar who had his hand up: ’Patrick Henry, 1775' he said.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
'Very good! Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish 'from the Earth?''
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar. 'Abraham Lincoln, 1863' said Chandrasekhar.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
The teacher snapped at the class: 'Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about our history than you do.'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
She heard a loud whisper: 'F*** the Indians,'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
'Who said that?' she demanded.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Chandrasekhar put up his hand. 'General Custer, 1862.'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
At that point, a student in the back said: 'I'm gonna puke.'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
The teacher glares around and asks: 'All right! Now, who said that?'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Again, Chandrasekhar says: 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Now furious, another student yells: 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher: 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said: 'You little shit. If you say anything more, I'll kill you.'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice: 'Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004.'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said: 'Oh shit, we're screwed!'
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
And Chandrasekhar said quietly: 'I think it was Lehmann Brothers, November 4th, 2008'
</p>
