Opening the Senate could be among Mitch McConnell’s final acts as majority leader. Republican control is in question until Tuesday’s run-off elections for two Senate seats in Georgia. The outcome will determine which party holds the chamber...

Trump Crosses a Bright-Red Line
The president’s nonstop abuse of power seems determined to force a reckoning.
Jan. 3 - In a bombshell conversation with Georgia’s secretary of state yesterday, President Donald Trump made monkeys of every Republican official and every conservative talking head who professed to believe Trump’s allegations of voter fraud. The president himself made clear that he had only one end in view: overturning the 2020 election.
You knew this already, of course. Anyone connected to reality knew it. Even most of Trump’s political allies probably knew it. But important incentives induced people in the pro-Trump camp to pretend otherwise. And now, as so often happens, Trump has yanked away the protective deception to reveal the truth.
And now again, Trump presents the country with a crisis and a conundrum.
What Trump did on that call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, first reported by The Washington Post this afternoon, might well have been a crime... more details
