 <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.

 <li><strong>Comprehensive analysis of the host-virus interactome of SARS-CoV-2</strong> -
 <div>
 Host-virus protein-protein interaction is the key component of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) lifecycle. We conducted a comprehensive interactome study between the virus and host cells using tandem affinity purification and proximity labeling strategies and identified 437 human proteins as the high-confidence interacting proteins. Functional characterization and further validation of these interactions elucidated how distinct SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins participate in its lifecycle, and discovered potential drug targets to the treatment of COVID-19. The interactomes of two key SARS-CoV-2 encoded viral proteins, NSP1 and N protein, were compared with the interactomes of their counterparts in other human coronaviruses. These comparisons not only revealed common host pathways these viruses manipulate for their survival, but also showed divergent protein-protein interactions that may explain differences in disease pathology. This comprehensive interactome of coronavirus disease-2019 provides valuable resources for understanding and treating this disease.

 <li><strong>Sequencing of Sars-CoV-2 genome using different Nanopore chemistries</strong> -
 <div>
 Nanopore sequencing has emerged as a rapid and cost-efficient tool for diagnostic and epidemiological surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study compared results from sequencing the SARS-CoV-2 genome using R9 vs R10 flow cells and Rapid Barcoding Kit (RBK) vs Ligation Sequencing Kit (LSK). The R9 chemistry provided a lower error rate (3.5%) than R10 chemistry (7%). The SARS-CoV-2 genome includes few homopolymeric regions. Longest homopolymers were composed of 7 (TTTTTTT) and 6 (AAAAAA) nucleotides. The R10 chemistry resulted in a lower rate of deletions in timine and adenine homopolymeric regions than R9, at expenses of a larger rate (~10%) of mismatches in these regions. The LSK had a larger yield than RBK, and provided longer reads than RBK. It also resulted in a larger percentage of aligned reads (99% vs 93%) and also in a complete consensus genome. The results from this study suggest that the LSK used on a R9 flow cell could maximize the yield and accuracy of the consensus sequence when used in epidemiological surveillance of SARS-CoV-2.

 <li><strong>The functions of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing and infection-enhancing antibodies in vitro and in mice and nonhuman primates</strong> -
 <div>
 SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) protect against COVID-19, making them a focus of vaccine design. A safety concern regarding SARS-CoV-2 antibodies is whether they mediate disease enhancement. Here, we isolated potent NAbs against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) and the N-terminal domain (NTD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein from individuals with acute or convalescent SARS-CoV-2 or a history of SARS-CoV-1 infection. Cryo-electron microscopy of RBD and NTD antibodies demonstrated function-specific modes of antibody binding. Select RBD NAbs also demonstrated Fc receptor-{gamma} (Fc{gamma}R)-mediated enhancement of virus infection in vitro, while five non-neutralizing NTD antibodies mediated Fc{gamma}R-independent in vitro infection enhancement. However, both in vitro neutralizing and infection-enhancing RBD or infection-enhancing NTD antibodies protected from SARS-CoV-2 challenge in non-human primates and mice. One of 30 monkeys infused with enhancing antibodies had lung pathology and bronchoalveolar lavage cytokine evidence suggestive of enhanced disease. Thus, these in vitro assessments of enhanced antibody-mediated infection do not necessarily indicate biologically relevant in vivo infection enhancement.

 <li><strong>Stress, anxiety, depression and burnout in frontline health care workers during COVID-19 pandemic: a brief systematic review and new data from Russia</strong> -
 <div>
 During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers (HCWs) have been subject to increased workload while also exposed to many psychosocial stressors. In a systematic review we analyze the impact that the pandemic has had on HCWs mental state and associated risk factors. Most studies reported high levels of depression and anxiety among HCWs worldwide, however, due to a wide range of assessment tools, cut-off scores, and number of frontline participants in the studies, results were difficult to compare. Our study is based on two online surveys of 2195 HCWs from different regions of Russia during spring and autumn epidemic outbreaks revealed the rates of anxiety, stress, depression, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and perceived stress as 32.3%, 31.1%, 45.5%, 74.2%, 37.7% ,67.8%, respectively. Moreover, 2.4% of HCWs reported suicidal thoughts. The most common risk factors include: female gender, nurse as an occupation, younger age, working for over 6 months, chronic diseases, smoking, high working demands, lack of personal protective equipment, low salary, lack of social support, isolation from families, the fear of relatives getting infected. These results demonstrate the need for urgent supportive programs for HCWs fighting COVID-19 that fall into higher risk factors groups.

 <li><strong>Physical distancing and the perception of interpersonal distance in the COVID-19 crisis</strong> -
 <div>
 In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been mandated to keep enlarged distances from others. We interviewed 136 German subjects over five weeks from the end of March to the end of April 2020 during the first wave of infections about their preferred interpersonal distance (IPD) before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the pandemic, subjects adapted to distance requirements and preferred a larger IPD. This enlarged IPD was judged to persist after the crisis partially. People anticipated keeping more IPD to others even if there was no longer any risk of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. We also sampled two follow-up measurements, one in August, after the first wave had been flattened, and one in October 2020, at the beginning of the second wave. We discuss our findings in light of proxemic theory and an indicator for socio-cultural adaptation beyond the course of the pandemic.

 <li><strong>Mechanisms of Parental Stress During and After the COVID-19 Lockdown: A two-wave longitudinal study</strong> -
 <div>
 Background: In the unpredictable times of the ongoing global coronavirus disease (COVID-19), parents worldwide are affected by stressors and strains that follow in the wake of the government-initiated distancing protocols. Objective: In a two‐wave longitudinal survey, we examined levels of parental perceived stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression among a sample of parents at two time points; in the midst of the strictest government-initiated physical distancing protocols following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (T1, N = 2868) and three months after the protocols discontinued (T2, n = 1489). Further, we investigated the levels of parental stress, anxiety, and depression relative to perceived relationship quality and anger aimed at child(ren) at the two time points, including subgroups based on age, sex, cultural background, civil status, education level, number of children in household, employment status, and pre-existing psychiatric diagnosis. Methods and findings: Parents were asked to fill out a set of validated questionnaires on the two measurement occasions. As expected, the findings indicate that the high levels of parental stress significantly decreased from T1 to T2, indicating that the cumulative stressors that parent’s experiences during distancing protocols declined as a function of the phaseout of the protocols. The decrease of perceived parental stress at the two time points, was accompanied by a significant decrease in symptoms of both depression and anxiety among the participating parents. Symptoms meeting the clinical cut-off for depression (23.0%) and generalized anxiety disorder (23.3%) were reported among participating parents at T1, compared to 16.8% and 13.8% respectively at T2. Reduction in depression and angry at child(ren) from T1 to T2 were further associated with a reduction in perceived parental stress. In addition, relationship quality and angry at child(ren) at T1 predicted change in parental stress. Conclusions: The findings underline some of the negative psychological impact of physical distancing protocols on parent’s health and well-being. Parents who are facing physical distancing and remaining at home with their children may be particularly vulnerable to parental stress, anxiety and depression. Uncovering the nature of how these constructs are associated to parents and families facing social crisis, such as the ongoing pandemic, can contribute to design relevant interventions to reduce parental stress and strengthen parental coping and resilience. Keywords: COVID-19 lockdown, parental stress, anxiety, depression, social distancing.

 <li><strong>Pregnancy during the pandemic: The impact of COVID-19-related stress on risk for prenatal depression</strong> -
 <div>
 Pregnant women may be particularly sensitive to negative events (i.e., adversity) related to the COVID-19 pandemic and affective responses to these events (i.e., stress). We examined COVID-19-related stress and adversity in a sample of 725 pregnant women residing in the San Francisco Bay Area in March-May 2020, 343 of whom provided addresses in California that were geocoded and matched by census tract to measures of community-level risk factors. Women who were pregnant during the pandemic had substantially elevated depressive symptoms compared to matched women who were pregnant prior to the pandemic. Several individual- and community-level risk and protective factors were associated with women’s scores on two latent factors of COVID-19-related stress and adversity. Highlighting the role of subjective responses to the pandemic in vulnerability to prenatal depression and factors that influence susceptibility to COVID-19-related stress, these findings inform understanding of the psychosocial sequelae of disease outbreaks among pregnant women.

 <li><strong>CoVidAffect, real-time monitoring of mood variations following the COVID-19 outbreak in Spain</strong> -
 <div>
 The COVID-19 outbreak and the ensuing confinement measures are expected to bear a significant psychological impact on the affected populations. Here, we publish a dataset from CoVidAffect, a citizen science project that was launched to provide direct, geolocalized data of changes in subjective feeling and physical arousal following the COVID-19 crisis. These publicly available data are continuously updated and visual summaries are displayed on the project website. The data can be further analyzed to identify affected geographical regions, quantify emotional responses to specific measures and policies, and to understand the effect of context variables, such as living space, socioeconomic status, and practice of physical exercise, on emotional regulation and psychological resilience. Our goal is to offer a resource that will help to anticipate the needs for psychosocial support and facilitate evidence-based policy making.

 <li><strong>Temporal Distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic: Letter Writing with Future Self can Mitigate Negative Affect</strong> -
 <div>
 Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is spreading across the world, threatening not only physical health but also psychological well-being. We reasoned that a broadened temporal perspective may attenuate current mental distress and tested a letter-writing manipulation designed to connect people to their post-COVID-19 future selves. Participants were randomly assigned to either send a letter to their future self (letter-to-future), send a letter to present self from the perspective of future self (letter-from-future), or a control condition. Participants in both letter-writing conditions showed immediate decrease in negative affect and increase in positive affect relative to the control condition. These effects were mediated by temporal distancing from the current situation. These findings suggest that taking a broader temporal perspective can be achieved by letter-writing with a future self and may offer an effective means of regulating negative affect in a stressful present time such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

 <li><strong>A Path from Collective Threat to Eudaimonia: Mediating Role of Awe</strong> -
 <div>
 How do people react to collective threats such as natural disasters or the COVID-19 pandemic? Magnificent catastrophic events might have an impact on emotions of not only those who experienced direct harm from it but also those who feel threat without actual harm. The current study demonstrated that such threat enhances self-transcendent values that further leads to general well-being, mediated by the emotion of awe. Two surveys were conducted immediately after a severe typhoon hit Japan (Study 1) and during the early phases of the COVID-19 spread in Japan (Study 2). Predisposition to feel negative awe predicted participants’ attention to both collective threat events, which led to an affirmation of self-transcendent values and general well-being. Furthermore, when participants were asked to recall a collective threat (vs. control event), they felt more awe which led to more engaged meaning making during the event, in turn predicting their affirmation of self-transcendent values.

 <li><strong>Disassociating conformity driven and self-interest driven dishonest behaviors</strong> -
 <div>
 Dishonest behavior can be driven by both self-interest and social learning towards the external environment. However, whether and how these two processes (conformity-driven and self-interest-driven dishonesty) relate and interact to influence dishonest acts remains unknown. In the current research, we propose a computational model consisting of these two dishonesty processes. The results of the agent-based simulation modeling and experimental studies revealed that self-interest driven-dishonesty propensity determined the extent of dishonesty when one was in pursuit of self-interests, while the effect of dishonesty conformity on dishonesty was dependent on both the self and environmental dishonesty propensity. In addition, self-interest-driven dishonesty propensity was related to individuals’ preference for value allocation, while dishonesty conformity was related to the belief in environmental predictability. In cross-cultural contexts, these two processes of dishonesty exert distinct effects on participants’ tendency to violate the regulation rules of the local government and impacted the development of the local prevalence of pathogens during the COVID-19 epidemic. The results of the current in-depth research validate the processes of conformity-driven and self-interest-driven dishonesty when dishonest behaviors emerged and to uncover how these two processes influenced the progression of a real-life emergent event.

 <li><strong>Monthly prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico</strong> -
 <div>
 Abstract Objective: Estimate the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) from April to June 2020. Methods: Repeated cross-sections design based in the ENCOVID-19 – a series of monthly mobile surveys with representative samples of Mexico (N= 833- 1,674). The questionnaire includes the GAD-2 scale, and, in July, the GAD-7 scale was added; we examined its internal validity with confirmatory factor analysis and its concurrent validity with sociodemographic variables. Using GAD-7 as criterion, we analyzed the predictive validity of the GAD-2. We estimated the monthly prevalence with the GAD-2. Results: The GAD-7 and the GAD-2 are reliable and valid. The GAD-2 has a sensitivity of 0.87 and a specificity of 0.90. The monthly prevalence remains high and stable, between 30.7 and 32.6%. GAD concentrated in women, unemployed and persons with low socioeconomic status. Conclusions: GAD is a public health problem that worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 At least 12 Republican senators will object to certifying the results of the 2020 election.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="2dgow0">
 On Saturday, 11 current and incoming Republican senators announced in a <a href="https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&amp;id=5541">joint statement</a> that they would object to the congressional certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory next week in a futile effort to hand outgoing President Donald Trump an unelected second term in office.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="CZTUzp">
 The statement — led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — also calls for the creation of an electoral commission modeled on a similar committee assembled in 1877, saying the commission would conduct “an emergency 10-day audit of the election returns in the disputed states.”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="Mc0WCe">
 Citing “unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities,” the letter also argues that states should be allowed to “evaluate the Commission’s findings and could convene a special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed.”

 The days after the 2020 election have indeed seen unprecedented allegations of voter fraud — but all have been found to be without merit by the judicial system, state elected officials, national security officials, and elections officials. Nevertheless, Cruz and the other members of the group — Sens. Ron Johnson, James Lankford, Steve Daines, John Kennedy, Marsha Blackburn, and Mike Braun, as well as Senators-elect Cynthia Lummis, Roger Marshall, Bill Hagerty, and Tommy Tuberville — maintain otherwise.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="1RO0dE">

 Ultimately, the Republican plan to object will lead nowhere.

 Ted Cruz’s “election commission” would investigate fraud that’s been repeatedly proven nonexistent
 </h3>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="QUtQ5S">
 Plan to object aside, the “electoral commission” plan backed by Cruz and 10 of his colleagues is nonsense. For one, the commission they demand has no precedent in the modern era and no realistic prospects of being convened. What’s more, the statement is predicated on a series of spurious claims by Cruz and his colleagues that echo similar — and equally baseless — election fraud rhetoric to that heard repeatedly from Trump.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="919UEc">
 Election Day — November 3, 2020 — is now 60 days in the past. In that time, Trump and his Republican allies have filed and lost <a href="https://twitter.com/marceelias/status/1345202689270026241?s=20">at least 60 election-related lawsuits</a> at all levels of the state and federal court systems alleging voter fraud and other improprieties — and they have failed to prove their case at every turn.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="GKW2bp">
 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. And 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.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="OMR25F">
 In short, 60 days of intense scrutiny has turned up exactly zero reasons to believe the letter’s false claim that “the allegations of fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election” are worrying — and there’s no reason to believe that an “electoral commission” would turn up a different result.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="m6JN3C">
 That there have been allegations of fraud as never before is true, but as <a href="https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1345472573488947200?s=20">MSNBC’s Chris Hayes</a> pointed out on Sunday, these have been misleading efforts led by Trump, and bolstered by his allies, like Cruz, to overturn the election’s rightful results.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="0ow7Dt">
 Cruz and his allies cite the results of this effort in their statement Saturday that widespread belief in the existence of voter fraud — a sort of warped “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” argument — necessitates the creation of an election commission.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="cK8uLp">

 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="kihQQo">
 That’s an accurate reporting of the poll’s results — but it does conveniently leave out the likely reason for that widespread belief.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="8EtO12">
 In reality, the Republican base has been inundated with evidence-free voter fraud rhetoric from every corner of the right-wing universe — from Trump’s Twitter feed to Fox News to stump speeches by Republican senators — almost nonstop since Trump’s election defeat. There’s a direct line between Cruz’s rhetoric and the problem he diagnoses: As Hayes put it on <a href="https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1345472573488947200?s=20">Twitter</a>, “They’ve spent months lying to people, telling them the election was stolen and now turn around and cite the fact that many people believe them as evidence!”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="4jfZqh">
 Ultimately, Saturday’s statement is just the latest foray in a flailing Republican effort to keep Trump in office in opposition to the will of the people. Given that any challenge to certification can be dissolved by a majority vote, and that there are more than enough opponents to these challenges in both the House and Senate, Cruz’s plan seems unlikely to work.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="k74b7j">
 Biden is poised to again be affirmed the next president on January 6 ahead of his January 20 inauguration. But if Cruz and his colleagues are as genuinely concerned about a “deep distrust of our democratic processes” that “poses an ongoing threat to the legitimacy of any subsequent administrations” as they claim, their own role in disrupting trust in the electoral process deserves review.

 Iran plans to enrich uranium to 20 percent purity — a level it last reached before the 2015 nuclear deal.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="x09Xmh">
 An international nuclear watchdog agency said Friday that Iran is preparing to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-nuclear-iaea/iran-has-told-iaea-it-plans-to-enrich-uranium-to-20-russian-envoy-says-idUSKBN2962JG">ramp up uranium enrichment</a> to pre-nuclear deal levels in what would be the country’s latest violation of the 2015 agreement.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="BFV3FW">
 According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran plans to substantially increase enrichment levels at its underground Fordow nuclear site, which was prohibited from enriching uranium under the terms of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), an international agreement often known as the Iran nuclear deal, which saw Iran limit its nuclear program in exchange for the relaxation of sanctions.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="tWy6Vu">
 Iran <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-nuclear-uranium/iran-fuels-centrifuges-resumes-uranium-enrichment-at-fordow-idUSKBN1XG2WN">resumed enrichment activities</a> at Fordow in November 2019, following President Donald Trump’s <a href="https://www.vox.com/world/2018/5/8/17328520/iran-nuclear-deal-trump-withdraw">2018 decision</a> to tear up the nuclear deal — but at a relatively low level, only about 4.5 percent.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="7lXZwi">
 If Iran follows through on Friday’s pronouncement, that will change. The IAEA says that Iran is now targeting enrichment levels of up to 20 percent, though there is no known timeline in place for that change.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="vEjjWY">
 Previously, the Iran nuclear deal limited Iran to 3.67 percent enrichment, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-nuclear-iaea/iran-has-told-iaea-it-plans-to-enrich-uranium-to-20-russian-envoy-says-idUSKBN2962JG">according to Reuters</a>. To achieve weapons-grade uranium, Iran would have to increase enrichment to 90 percent; but, according to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/01/us/politics/iran-trump.html">New York Times’s Eric Schmitt</a>, if Iran were to begin enriching uranium to 20 percent purity, “it requires relatively little further enrichment to get to the 90 percent purity that is traditionally used for bomb-grade fuel.”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="rVKPO9">
 Iran has repeatedly said it does not want to develop nuclear weapons, and instead wants to advance its nuclear program for peaceful, scientific purposes. Adversaries such as the United States and Israel, however, have signaled they believe otherwise.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="0vmhOM">
 The new 20 percent enrichment target was set by Iran’s parliament last month in response to the <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/11/28/21723778/assassination-iran-nuclear-scientist-mohsen-fakhrizadeh">assassination</a> of the country’s top nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. Fakhrizadeh was killed near Tehran on November 27, 2020, in an ambush that Iran has blamed on Israel.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="Q38sbI">
 And the same new law that mandates 20 percent enrichment also raises the imminent specter of international nuclear inspectors being expelled from the country: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/02/world/middleeast/iran-nuclear-enrichment-inspectors.html">According to the New York Times</a>, Iran has set “a two-month deadline for oil and banking sanctions against Iran to be lifted before inspectors are barred.” Currently, the IAEA <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/01/01/952711544/iran-tells-u-n-agency-it-will-enrich-uranium-back-to-pre-nuclear-deal-level-of-2">says</a> it has “inspectors present in Iran on a 24/7 basis and they have regular access to Fordow.”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="tEUHsj">
 Even before Friday, Iran has been taking steps toward regaining pre-nuclear deal capacity — and potentially toward achieving a nuclear weapon.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="0sKGGh">
 In November 2020, Iran <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/iran-nuclear-iaea-int/iran-feeds-uranium-gas-into-advanced-centrifuges-underground-iaea-report-idUSKBN27Y0W5">began operating</a> advanced centrifuges at another underground nuclear facility, Natanz, and its <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-54912402">nuclear stockpile</a> stood at more than 12 times the limit imposed by the JCPOA.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="eTxgSt">
 US President-elect Joe Biden, who will take office on January 20, has <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/13/opinions/smarter-way-to-be-tough-on-iran-joe-biden/index.html">indicated</a> that he hopes to rejoin and revive the JCPOA, which was negotiated while he was serving as vice president to President Barack Obama. Some observers see Iran’s enrichment efforts as a way of <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/01/politics/us-iran-soleimani-anniversary-tensions/index.html">building negotiating leverage</a>, but it remains to be seen whether recent strides in Iran’s nuclear program could complicate things.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="af554c">
 “I will offer Tehran a credible path back to diplomacy,” Biden wrote in a September op-ed. “If Iran returns to strict compliance with the nuclear deal, the United States would rejoin the agreement as a starting point for follow-on negotiations. With our allies, we will work to strengthen and extend the nuclear deal’s provisions, while also addressing other issues of concern.”

 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="gvSFCZ">
 Until his death last year, Soleimani was the head of the Quds Force, a component of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. On Friday, Soleimani’s successor, Esmail Ghaani, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-usa-soleimani/iran-commander-vows-resistance-a-year-after-soleimani-killing-idUSKBN29627W">warned</a> that “American mischief will not deter the Quds Force from carrying on its resistance path.”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="fbuLgn">
 “From inside your own house, there may emerge someone who will retaliate for your crime,” Ghaani said.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="jOjwCv">
 After Fakhrizadeh’s death in November, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani issued a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-nuclear-scientist-retaliation/rouhani-says-iran-will-retaliate-for-scientist-killing-at-the-proper-time-idUSKBN28808T">similar threat</a> of retaliation, saying that “Iran will surely respond to the martyrdom of our scientist at the proper time.”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="IQTqmU">
 In addition to Ghaani’s ominous remarks, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/01/politics/us-iran-soleimani-anniversary-tensions/index.html?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=2021-01-01T23%3A44%3A04&amp;utm_term=link&amp;utm_source=twCNN">CNN reported</a> Friday that Iranian naval forces had moved to a heightened level of readiness, though the reason for the change could be defensive: The US has deployed a submarine and nuclear-capable <a href="https://www.axios.com/iran-us-bomber-mission-persian-gulf-fab2b01d-df44-4afe-a147-8d7ca38ba134.html">B-52 bombers</a> to the region in addition to existing forces.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="M2kT2c">
 Somewhat discordantly, the Pentagon also <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/01/us/politics/iran-trump.html">recalled</a> the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, which was previously stationed in the Middle East and North Africa region, to its home port in Washington state on Friday. Critics of the decision told the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/01/us/politics/iran-trump.html">New York Times</a> the recall needlessly limited the US’ retaliatory options at a tense time, but proponents argued that bringing the ship home was a smart deescalatory gesture.

 Vice President Mike Pence will not be allowed to pick the next president.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="3LtyiF">
 On Friday, a federal court in Texas <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txed.203073/gov.uscourts.txed.203073.37.0.pdf">dismissed</a> the latest in a long line of Republican lawsuits intended to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="IjD2A5">
 The <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txed.203073/gov.uscourts.txed.203073.30.0.pdf">suit</a>, which was brought late last year by US Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and a slate of would-be Republican electors in Arizona, asked the US District Court for eastern Texas to grant Vice President Mike Pence the “exclusive authority and sole discretion under the Twelfth Amendment to determine which slates of electors for a State, or neither, may be counted.”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="PtkWF5">
 Such authority — which Pence very much lacks — would grant the vice president the power to choose the next president, clearing the way for Pence to throw the election to President Donald Trump and install him to an unelected second term in office.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="tldz9b">
 In reality, Pence does have a role to play when Congress meets to certify the Electoral College’s votes on January 6, but it is <a href="https://apnews.com/article/congress-count-electoral-college-vote-5605532631a251ac8f902d1d1ca55428">more a formality than anything</a>. As vice president, Pence is also president of the Senate — thus, according to the <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxii">12th Amendment</a>, Pence’s job is to “open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.” The actual certification of the votes, though, falls on Congress.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="W9i9oT">
 In his case, Gohmert claimed vice presidents were meant to be more than “the glorified envelope-opener in chief,” a position at odds with more than a century of established practice.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="qVLU35">
 The court, however, didn’t consider the merits of that claim in its Friday ruling. In a 13-page order dismissing the suit, <a href="https://tylerpaper.com/news/local/trump-confirms-jeremy-kernodle-as-u-s-district-judge-in-tyler-senators-cruz-and-cornyn/article_caebc1d6-ce52-11e8-b4b1-cfa0b3ed177d.html">Trump-appointed</a> Judge Jeremy Kernodle concluded that the court was “without subject matter jurisdiction” to hear the suit in the first place, arguing that the plaintiffs lacked standing — essentially, that they would not be harmed should the certification process proceed — that the suit relied too heavily on convoluted hypotheticals, and that the plaintiffs weren’t even suing the right person.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="jzd89W">
 Specifically, Gohmert sued Mike Pence — the very person to whom his lawsuit would grant sweeping powers if successful.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="BkI63c">
 Pence, understandably, wasn’t exactly on board. In a <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000176-baf5-d67a-a3f7-bffd0fe90000">response</a> from Trump’s own Justice Department requesting that the Texas court deny emergency relief to Gohmert on behalf of Pence — acting Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Bossert Clark, joined by two deputy assistant attorneys general — wrote that “the Vice President is not the proper defendant to this lawsuit.”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="cVWiOC">
 “If plaintiffs’ suit were to succeed,” the Justice Department filing continues, “the result would be to remove any constraint the Electoral Count Act places on the Vice President. To the extent any of these particular plaintiffs have a judicially cognizable claim, it would be against the Senate and the House of Representatives.”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="O32RSC">
 The <a href="https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1345085824451432449">New York Times’ Maggie Haberman</a> reported Friday that Trump was upset the Justice Department took this stance, and that he complained to Pence about it. The judge, however, agreed that suing Pence was improper.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="cekjik">
 There were also a few rather important <a href="https://twitter.com/bradheath/status/1345046314107678720?s=20">factual errors</a>. Notably, <a href="https://twitter.com/AkivaMCohen/status/1343602386049380353?s=20">as pointed out by lawyer Akiva Cohen on Twitter</a>, the suit claims that Arizona has appointed competing sets of electors, a situation that would mean the state would submit two sets of votes to Congress. But there are no competing slates of electors, in Arizona or elsewhere. The results of the 2020 presidential election — which was won by President-elect Joe Biden — have been certified in <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/09/politics/2020-election-results-certified/index.html">all 50 states and the District of Columbia</a>, and no state legislature attempted to appoint an alternate slate of pro-Trump electors.

 <a href="https://www.vox.com/22173990/electoral-college-trump-biden-stephen-miller">As Vox’s Andrew Prokop explained in December</a>, pretend Republican electors in a handful of key swing states won by Biden did meet to cast their votes for Trump, but those votes have absolutely no legal force or substance behind them.

 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="yKHNWC">
 Gohmert, for his part, appears to be in denial: “Judge rules ‘no standing’ in my lawsuit to toss fraudulent Biden electors,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/replouiegohmert/status/1345225669979086848?s=20">tweeted</a> Friday. “If I don’t have standing, no one does.

 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="09ZUdQ">
 And he strayed into even more dangerous territory Saturday in an appearance on the conservative cable network Newsmax, falsely claiming that if Trump is not allowed to steal the election from Biden, “it will mean the end of our republic,” and saying, “in effect, the ruling would be that you gotta go to the streets and be as violent as antifa and BLM.”

 Gohmert’s case isn’t the first Republican election lawsuit to run into issues of legal standing — the Supreme Court rejected a wide-ranging <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/12/12/22097324/trump-tweets-supreme-court-rejects-texas-election-results-lawsuit">lawsuit</a> brought by Texas last month for the same reason — but with Inauguration Day rapidly approaching, Trump and his allies are running out of time to launch new attempts to stop Biden from taking office.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="B0pyl4">
 Biden’s inauguration doesn’t mean challenges like Gohmert’s — which, according to the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/gohmert-court-filing-claims-pence-is-not-a-glorified-envelope-opener/2021/01/01/eeb6b222-4c51-11eb-839a-cf4ba7b7c48c_story.html">Washington Post</a>, his legal team plans to appeal — will vanish. But that doesn’t mean they stand a chance of succeeding either.

 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="COzlSP">
 Gohmert’s deeply unserious attempt at a lawsuit, however, is just one expression of the post-election mania gripping the Republican Party. And the court’s Friday ruling — which drops Trump and his Republican allies’ court record to 1-60 in post-election litigation, <a href="https://twitter.com/marceelias/status/1345202689270026241?s=20">according to Democratic voting rights lawyer Marc Elias</a> — won’t be the end of it.

 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="TnVKWC">
 Needless to say, Trump’s planned rally will be utterly ineffective in challenging the election results — but that doesn’t mean it will be harmless. The last time pro-Trump protesters <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/12/13/22172438/trump-stop-steal-march-washington-dc-proud-lindell-fuentes">descended on Washington en masse</a>, violence broke out and at least five people were stabbed.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="s2AQSQ">
 And though Republicans’ efforts on the Hill are equally doomed to fail, they will ensure a protracted certification process come Tuesday. With support from at least one Republican senator guaranteed — <a href="https://twitter.com/HawleyMO/status/1344307458085412867?s=20">Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri</a> got behind the effort on Wednesday — the GOP can temporarily hold up the process by objecting to a state’s electoral results.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="W4zwNE">
 <a href="https://www.vox.com/22173990/electoral-college-trump-biden-stephen-miller">According to Vox’s Andrew Prokop</a>:
 </p>
 <blockquote>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="AKVFYK">
 Under this process, if at least one House member and one senator object to the results in any state, each chamber will hold a vote on the matter. For the objection to succeed, both the House and the Senate must vote in favor of it. Otherwise, it fails. (And since Democrats will control the new House, any objection to Biden’s win will surely fail in that chamber.
 </p>
 </blockquote>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="u9AeB3">
 Failure seems a near certainty in the Senate as well. Democrats currently hold 48 seats in that chamber, and a number of Republican lawmakers have expressed disdain for Hawley’s plan. According to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/01/republicans-hawley-election-challenge-453362">Politico</a>, Alaska’s Sen. Lisa Murkowski has called it “awful;” Utah Sen. Mitt Romney said it was “disappointing and destructive;” Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi said, “I don’t think it’s a good idea;” and Nebraska’s Sen. Ben Sasse said, “Adults don’t point a loaded gun at the heart of legitimate self-government.”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="mBIqcM">
 <a href="https://twitter.com/Olivianuzzi/status/1345101814052610048">New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi</a> reported Friday that a GOP official said senators have been so openly angry with Hawley “because they think he knows better. As the official put it: ‘He’s not some moron like Louie Gohmert.’”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="mxkH9h">
 That isn’t to say Hawley won’t get some support: <a href="https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud/status/1345408241300164608?s=20">According to a CBS report on Saturday</a>, as many as a dozen Republican senators, including three new members, might join Hawley in objecting. These senators <a href="https://twitter.com/burgessev/status/1345420636714397698?s=20">reportedly include</a>: Texas’s Sen. Ted Cruz, Oklahoma’s Sen. James Lankford, and Alabama’s incoming Sen. Tommy Tuberville.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="tAc6Gm">
 Overall, though, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/21/politics/house-conservatives-trump-meeting/index.html">according to Senate Majority Whip John Thune</a>, the effort will “go down like a shot dog” in the Senate.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="jcKmai">
 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also <a href="https://twitter.com/politicoalex/status/1344727635000229890?s=20">opposes the effort</a> — but <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/gohmert-140-republicans-object-electors">according to Gohmert</a>, as many as 140 Republican representatives plan to object to the vote totals in the House.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="QtAq3H">
 As Prokop points out, none of this will work out for the GOP. Regardless of what further undemocratic hijinks may be planned, Biden won the presidency, and his win will be confirmed again on January 6.
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="fL2lE5">
 The efforts of Gohmert, Hawley, and other Trump allies do, however, underscore a continued and dangerous unwillingness on the part of a major US political party to accept the results of a free and fair election — and the corrosive effect that might have on democracy is cause for concern, regardless of how successful their efforts are.

If you feel inclined to post one too, I suggest that you do as I did yesterday, and join r/YoMamaJokes. They obviously have too few members compared to the popularity of these jokes! ——— </code></pre>

 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
 While sipping his wine, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful.

 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
 He asked the waiter, “What is that you just served?”
 </p>
 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">

 The cowboy said, “What the heck, bring me an order.”

 <p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">

 If you come early and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy.'

 The next morning, the cowboy returned, placed his order, and that evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day.

 After a few bites, inspecting his platter, he called to the waiter and said, “These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday.”

 The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Si,Senor. Sometimes the bull wins."
