David Frum (The Atlantic)Republicans must distance themselves from the president, and join their colleagues in ending his tenure.
What I heard from insurrectionists on their march to the Capitol
Nice to see at least one article/piece on who some of the people in the coup crowd at the capital were today.
The horned man in question is none other than 32-year-old Jake Angeli, a familiar face at pro-Trump rallies and a purported QAnon conspiracy theorist sometimes referred to as the “QAnon Shama…

At 10:37 p.m. on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, I wrote myself an email: “Nate [Silver] and Micah [Cohen] just told me Clinton is probably going to lose, that she’s an underdog … collapse in the Midwest.” I’d been watching the 2016 vote returns in our office. At 9:35 p.m. Donald Trump’s chance of winning the election was 26 percent according to our model; by 10:09 p.m. it had moved to 44 percent. At 10:31 p.m. a blog post of mine went up about the radical shifts among voters without a college education in Michigan. Still, it took someone saying it out loud to arrange all those particulate results and blog posts in a line that pointed in just one direction: Trump was going to win the election.

Rosemary Vrablic, who oversaw hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to President Trump’s company, will leave the bank next week.
Acting as if Trump is trying to stage a coup is the best way to ensure he won’t.
One of the most painful and worrying pieces I’ve read all year.
Adam Serwer (The Atlantic)The president’s supporters believe that the votes of rival constituencies should not count—even though they understand, on some level, that they do.
