Readers of The Morning share wisdom for the coming year. View in browser | nytimes.com December 28, 2024 By Melissa Kirsch Good morning. As we close out this year and look ahead to the new one, here's the best advice that readers of The Morning received this year. María Jesús Contreras Good advice The piece of wisdom I repeated the most this year came from a reader of The Morning who answered my call for advice last December: "We are all juggling so many balls.

Plus, the Pelicot trial, government funding and an art world mystery. View in browser | nytimes.com December 19, 2024 By David Leonhardt Good morning. We're covering a lesson from the Democrats' 2024 defeat — as well as the Pelicot trial, government funding and an art world mystery. President Biden   Kenny Holston/The New York Times Rose-colored analysis The Democrats' 2024 defeat had many causes, starting with inflation and immigration. In today's newsletter, I'll examine another item on the list: candidate quality. This subject might seem backward-looking, given that neither of this year's candidates, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, is likely to be the party's presidential nominee again.
