Trump’s former chief of staff could flip Trump’s January 6 narrative on its head. Here’s why.
Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is now cooperating with the January 6 committee, a shift in his previous stance and a different stance than most in Trump world. In the latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains why Meadow’s willingness to cooperate could lead others to talk – and could end poorly for Trump. That, along with being CNN’s editor at large and author of the daily "Point" newsletter are my proudest achievements.

Congress averts shutdown after party leaders resolve GOP standoff over vaccine mandate
(CNN) Congress averted a government shutdown Thursday evening when both chambers voted to pass a stopgap bill to extend funding through mid-February after party leaders brokered a deal to overcome GOP brinkmanship over vaccine mandates. To resolve the impasse, the two parties agreed to hold votes on the stopgap bill as well as a GOP amendment to prohibit the use of federal funding for Covid-19 vaccine mandates, which ultimately failed. Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah spoke on the Senate floor prior to the amendment vote related to vaccine requirements. Other Republican senators fuming over potential shutdownSenate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had projected confidence throughout the week that there would not be a shutdown. Separate from the vaccine issue, Democrats had wanted to extend funding only into January, a concession DeLauro acknowledged in her statement.

What the heck is going on with Kamala Harris?
(CNN) In the space of the last two weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris has lost two of her senior aides. First, just before Thanksgiving, news broke that Ashley Etienne, Harris' communications director, would be leaving the vice president's office. Top advisers to a vice president don't just randomly leave less than a year into a term. Many in the vice president's circle fume that she's not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined. And, reports of issues within Harris' staff are nothing new.

Why Donald Trump won't save Democrats in 2022
(CNN) Tying Republican candidates to former President Donald Trump won't save Democrats from a midterm Armageddon, according to one prominent party pollster. He expounded on the limits of a Trump-centric strategy in an interview with The New York Times' Jonathan Martin"The thing that these people disliked about Trump was that they didn't like Donald Trump the person; it wasn't Donald Trump the constellation of policies," said Stryker. The Democratic attacks trying to link Youngkin to Trump didn't work because, well, Youngkin didn't look, sound or act like Trump. Stryker says no, and that voters didn't reject Trump's policies in 2020, they rejected the man who was pushing those policies. Without that man on the ballot in 2021 (or 2022), Democrats' ability to tie Republicans -- simply because they are in the same party as Trump -- to the former President is very limited.

Afghanistan child marriages: 9-year-old bride is taken to safety
Afghanistan under pressureAfghanistan's economic lifelines have been severed since mid-August when the Taliban assumed control after American and allied forces departed. Escape from servitudeAfter a four-hour journey through mountain roads, Parwana's family arrived late at night at a small hotel in Herat, Afghanistan's third largest city. The longer-term plan for Parwana's family is still unclear, Stephanie Sinclair of TYTW added, and will depend on funding for the shelter. "It is a moral imperative that the international community does not abandon the women and girls of Afghanistan," Sinclair said. At the local market in Herat, TYTW helped Parwana's family to gather kitchen supplies and food.

Alec Baldwin: 'I didn't pull the trigger' of gun on 'Rust' set
(CNN) Alec Baldwin told ABC News he never pulled the trigger of the gun that shot director of photography Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust." "The trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger," Baldwin said in an excerpt released Wednesday from the sit-down interview -- his first since the October shooting. When asked why he pointed the gun at Hutchins and pulled the trigger when that wasn't in the script, Baldwin said, "I would never point a gun at anyone and then pull the trigger, never." "Someone put a live bullet in the gun, a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be on the property," he said.

As nuclear talks resume in Vienna, the game has just begun
The Iran nuclear negotiations that resumed this week in Vienna after a suspension of almost five months are a case in point. And it's not so certain that one of the parties -- Iran, which seems to be using the talks as cover to ramp up its nuclear program -- believes that an accord is even desirable right now. All of which is to say that the game has just begun, and the outcome will be neither a quick accord nor a collapse. Indeed, today Iranian representatives presented texts of their own on sanctions removal and their own nuclear activities, offering to stay in Vienna to continue negotiating. Sanctions severely damaged Iran's economy, but they didn't force Iran to make concessions; in fact, Trump's sanctions resulted in Iran ramping up its nuclear program.
