Hundreds of thousands of DC residents had to endure a coup in their backyard today, go into curfew at 6pm, and fear for their personal safety. None of them have any representation in Congress.

Joe Biden will still be the president, despite attempts to subvert the will of the electorate. But it's not so hard to imagine a slightly different world--a closer race, a few more Wayne-ish dissenters--where similar efforts could threaten continuity of constitutional government

[b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie]

they are rolling out the plan for if the election were closer and hoping it sticks

[Matt Piotrowski @mattpiotrowski]

@npnigro @RealClearNews Agreed. Those Maine polls were waaayyy off

[Matt Piotrowski @mattpiotrowski]

The polls weren't off all that much, after all, particularly when you take into account the popular vote

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

The only states Biden lost but was supposed to win are North Carolina & Florida. He held all the others, albeit by smaller margins than projected.

[Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn]

Biden now leads in states worth 306 electoral votes. Here's how the map will probably finish

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

Truly insane we’re obsessing over 1,900 votes in Georgia when Biden is leading by 4 million votes nationwide

[Conan O'Brien @ConanOBrien]

I can’t remember the last time I was this shocked by an NBC programming decision.

[Climate Advisers @ClimateAdvisers]

JPMorgan has become increasingly vocal about its growing ambition to reduce exposure to #climatechange risks but what are its plans for #deforestation? See what we found in our latest report.

LeBron James wins his fourth Finals MVP award and he’s the first player in NBA history to do so with three different teams.

[Rick Hasen @rickhasen]

The media focus on Biden’s answers on “court packing” are astounding given that the media has hardly explained how far to the right the confirmation of Justice Barrett will move the Supreme Court. It will affect climate change, affirmative action, voting rights, reproductive rts

This debate could be improved by 100 percent fewer promises to keep fracking

Trump’s Covid messaging:

JAN: It’s under control
FEB: It’s a hoax
M: Packed churches by Easter
APRIL: It’s going away
MAY: Time to open up
JUNE: Just embers
JULY: Time to open schools
AUG: Other countries are worse
SEPT: Vaccines coming soon!
OCT: *tweeting from the hospital*

“Attorney General chooses to break DC law.”

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

The answers y'all are looking for (how will the president's COVID diagnosis affect the race?) are not answers we're going to be getting today, or this weekend. And while I have no moral critique against speculating (the election is *happening* *now*) there's a lot we don't know.

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

We cannot be silent in the face of McConnell’s hypocritical plan to replace RBG & immoral refusal to pass a just stimulus.

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

It’s truly shocking that 4 of 5 conservative justices on Supreme Court (Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch & Kavanaugh) were nominated by Republican presidents who lost popular vote
