(NYT Oct 23 1935) CENTER OF STAGE FOR HITLER — Opening of Games Arranged to Give Him Leading Role — BERLIN, Oct. 22. — Chancellor Adolf Hitler will play the leading role at the opening of next year's Olympics in Berlin. When athletes from all over the world have been assembled in the polo field, just outside the main stadium, the president of the International Olympic Committee and the president of the organizing committee for the Eleventh Olympics will enter the Hall of Honor. In the hall they will present to Hitler the chairmen of the various national Olympic committees. Hitler, surrounded by the chairmen, will then be conducted to his box in the Olympic Stadium. When he arrives the games will be declared officially open. Much Olympic literature issued by the German organizing committee points out that the games will occur under Hitler's patronage. The whole Olympic scene is dominated by the 249-foot Fuehrer Tower.

Senator Josh Hawley’s bill to ban stock trading for members of Congress, the President, and Vice President has passed out of committee.

The vote was 8–7, with Hawley being the only GOP to join Dems.

White House had lobbied against the bill since it includes the President and Vice President.

In writing, Trump's judicial nominees have all signaled their support for his election denier conspiracy theories, and their willingness to end birthright citizenship. But Senate Democrats didn't challenge the nominees on these answers when they had the chance. Most of them didn't even show up.

Senate Democrats Are Letting Trump’s Judicial Nominees Off the Hook

Trump's nominees gave some eye-popping answers in their written questionnaires. Why didn't Senate Democrats ask these questions in person?
