* Cancer Moonshot” update: Earlier this month President Joe Biden set a goal of cutting the death rate from cancer in half over the next 25 years.

* A key issue among would-be EV owners is the charging infrastructure. While most EV owners charge at home, a more robust network of fast-charging stations would help. To that goal, the Biden Administration has plans to make 500,000 chargers available to the public. Currently there are 100,000 chargers available.

* “The old prism of class has been supplanted by the prism of identity politics. As the Democratic Party is increasingly dominated by people with college and graduate degrees, the white working class core of the old FDR coalition has steadily migrated rightward.”–Jonah Goldberg, The Dispatch.

* “One of Joe Biden’s strengths is that, at his best, he speaks the language of America, not Washington. But he has been speaking more in the voice of government officials than he has of Scranton Joe. He needs to get back there.”–Former Barack Obama adviser David Axelrod.
