White House hit with fresh outbreak of coronavirus cases

 

Trump tweeted Sunday that a top polling expert in Britain backed his fraud claims—but the little-known “expert” has been accused of inventing his credentials.

 

Trump has arrived at the Trump National Golf Club.

 

NBC: Fed judge orders Small Business Administration to disclose exactly who received $717 billion inPandemic relief loans and how much they received. Trump Administration sought to keep that data secret.

 

.@Rachelvscott: “This is a seismic shift in American politics and the make up of this next administration will look dramatically different from the current one. Biden has already pledged to have the most diverse cabinet in American history.”

 

From the bottom of my heart: thank you

 

Read my colleague @julianzelizer’s book “Burning Down the House” to understand how @newtgingrich created the toxic, destructive, and norm-breaking politics in the 90s which paved the way for someone like Trump. Such a loser.

 

President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are moving ahead with planning for his forthcoming administration on Sunday, launching a transition website and preparing a team of people to begin working with federal agencies this week

 

"No leader who tortures his own people can ever claim legitimacy.. I will continue to join Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya and people of Belarus in calling for the peaceful transfer of power, release of all political prisoners, free and fair elections" @JoeBiden

 

#Belarus Fearless Belarusian women are at the forefront of the protest

 

lol

 

fuck his “conditions.”

 

If this isn’t Rupert Murdoch talking directly to Donald Trump I don’t know what is.

 

“Biden pledged in his campaign to reassess ties with the kingdom, demanding more accountability over Khashoggi’s killing in Riyadh’s Istanbul consulate and calling for an end to U.S. support for the Yemen war.”

 

I put my phone down for an hour and I missed the “Four Seasons Total Landscaping” part of today. The president’s legal team held a press conference in a landscape company’s parking lot? Next to a sex shop?

 

“I don’t know if anyone noticed or not, but Joe Biden has been elected the 46th president of the United States.”

 

America Finally Breaks Up With Her Abusive Boyfriend

 

"I thought it would be scary or at least it would feel like it was sort of shaking the foundations of the republic a little bit for the incumbent president...to defy an election result," @Maddow says. "And it just feels laughable. It just feels small."

 

Respect

 

One down. One to go

 

President-Elect Biden Has A Plan To Combat COVID-19. Here's What's In It

 

Last week one Russian paper wrote that, under Trump, US-Russian relations had plunged “to the sea-bed”, but likened Biden to a dredger who would “dig even deeper”.” Does Moscow have that sinking feeling...?

 

In Belarus, like in Russia, the regime has used war victory to build national identity and claim legitimacy. But in recent months there’s been a twist - they’ve become the fascists in their own narrative.

In Europe, relief after Biden win, Trump loss in U.S. election - The Washington Post Trump berated and baffled European allies. They aren’t sad to see him go.

 

ABC news reports that the Trump campaign "voter fraud" hotline "has turned into a nightmare...bombarded with prank calls from people laughing or mocking them over Biden's win before hanging up..."

With Joe Biden declared America’s newest president-elect, darkness descended over Russian state media this week

 

The celebration in Philly was especially raucous, thanks both to the character of a city with a reputation for going hard, and because the longtime Democratic stronghold was savaged early and often by Trump as a corrupt, broken place

 

Georgia residents 17+, Georgia is having a runoff Jan 5 to decide who their 2 new senators will be. If those senators go blue Mitch McConnell will no longer be Senate Majority Leader. You have until Dec 7 to register to vote. Retweet to share even if you don’t live in GA.

This one will definitely not go over well with Trump:

Irish public media ended its evening newscast like this last night (in case anyone was wondering what Europeans think about the US election)

 

I knew we’d be happy but I didn’t realize we’d be spontaneous dance parties in the street happy. What a moment
