Watching March roll out real winter
Well the Senate has confirmed Avril Haines as Director of National Intelligence... so that's an important first step done on Day One of the Biden administration.
I'm gonna sleep easy tonight for the first time in four years. I suppose that's not going to be the case for DNI Haines for awhile yet. The Trump administration in transition period was not always particularly cooperative on matters relating to the various intelligence agencies. Well then "no place to go but up" is how to look at that now, I guess.
Anyway some earlier reservations by Sen.Cotton about Haines appear to have been resolved.

The Senate on Wednesday confirmed President Biden's pick for US spy chief, Avril Haines, by a vote of 84 to 10.
Biden nominated Haines to serve as the director of national intelligence, a vast role overseeing 18 intelligence agencies that saw an extraordinary level of politicization during the Trump era. She previously served as deputy CIA director and deputy national security advisor under President Barack Obama.
