Smith dropped the investigation after Trump’s election victory, citing DOJ’s longstanding policy against prosecuting sitting presidents. Still, the full report nonetheless offers the most comprehensive view yet into the overwhelming evidence of Trump’s alleged election subversion crimes.

To grab the limelight, Nancy Mace has targeted Sarah McBride, the nation’s first elected trans House member. The vitriol from Mace has been contemptible.
This is in sharp contrast with McBride, who has acted commendably and with grace. And ironically, McBride now has high national visibility.

Preparing for dystopia is not the traditional work requirement of a senator. But unique times call for unique measures. And Sen. Chris Murphy, as much as anyone else in his party, has been using the post-election period to sound the alarm.
