Good Morning DC,
Kirstie Alley the Emmy award-winning star of the TV series Cheers, has died from cancer at the age of 71. John Travolta has paid her a tribute.
This Tuesday morning, I am at the Senate, preparing for a series of events I will attend today. The new Democratic House Leadership will hold a news conference, the Senate leaders from both parties will do one, and the outgoing House Majority Leader Hoyer will hold his regular weekly briefing.
While the White House and the State Department are one of the most elite beats in political journalism, I am very excited to expand our political coverage to the US Capitol. As I’ve mentioned yesterday morning, With the Pavlovic Today from the US Capitol, we will run on Tuesdays.
Your top news stories are below.
THE WHITE HOUSE
Biden is going to Arizona today. He’ll be visiting TSMC, a Taiwanese company investing in the manufacture of cutting-edge chips. According to a White House official, TSMC will announce a plan to build a second nearby facility in Arizona that will produce advanced 3 nanometer (nm) chips by 2026.
White House official told us that the President will discuss “how TSMC’s new investments in Phoenix are a result of his economic plan – including the CHIPS and Science Act, and his commitment to addressing the economic and national security concerns of not producing lead-edge semiconductors in the US.”
Apple CEO Tim Cook, we have learned, will be there too.
