In fact, Trump is doing nothing but sucking energy, attention, and money away from their reelections. He hasn’t agreed to make any trips to the state yet. He’s tweeted only narrowly about the Georgia recount but not its runoffs. Trump’s campaign has also been soliciting donations to supposedly contest the election (but actually settle debts),…

With presidential race on the brink of being called, Biden and Harris to speak Friday evening
Biden has spoken regularly since the end of voting on Tuesday night, consistently expressing optimism about the outcome of the election but calling for patience as every vote is counted. Speaking Wednesday afternoon, he said, “We the people will not be silenced. We the people will not be bullied. We the people will not surrender. My friends,…
Trump just can’t catch a break in court with his nuisance election lawsuits
It’s all premised on the repeated lies we heard from Trump when he emerged from his bunker Thursday night to rant about how Democrats rigged the vote, with “mystery ballots” and “secret count rooms.” There is not great mind at work here, anywhere. (That’s made obvious by the fact that they’re letting Rudy Giuliani out…

There are only so many ways to say that the GOP’s ship is sinking, but we’ll say it once more
• IL-06 (Likely D to Safe D): Republicans have shown little interest in targeting freshman Democratic Rep. Sean Casten, who handily unseated one of their incumbents two years ago. Illinois’ 6th Congressional District, located in the Chicago area, is almost the archetype of the affluent, well-educated suburban district that has fled the GOP in recent…
Video shows Philadelphia police lied about ‘lost’ toddler
Riley H. Ross III, an attorney for the mother of that child, told the Post that this was “propaganda,” and that the child was literally only in that position, terrified, because of the police brutality and terrorizing that his mother and cousin had just received from the Philadelphia police department. According to Ross, just after midnight…

Science candidates are standing by to defeat COVID-19, improve health care, and fight climate change
Like Bollier, Nancy Goroff has another chance to check off a “first” that should have been achieved years—make that decades—ago. Believe it or not, if Goroff beats out Lee Zeldin, who was the key Republican congressman in running Donald Trump’s impeachment defense, she would be the first female PhD scientist in Congress. That’s exciting. And…
