It's just two weeks from Inauguration Day, but Donald Trump still has over 600 Senate-confirmable nominees to announce. His skeleton White House staff includes 22 top-level advisers, many of whom lack experience in executive governing. Next week, the Senate will begin confirmation hearings on several cabinet officials.  Plus, TIME's Michael Scherer discusses details from the unclassified intelligence report on election-related cyberattacks that show the vast reach of Russian misinformation.
