Former senator timothy wirth, writing with tom rogers, yesterday published what is perhaps the most plausible account of how president trump could lose the election and remain president. The essence: trump makes unfounded claims that china interfered in the election, the justice department investigates, the legislatures of four swing states biden appeared to win decide to refuse to certify the electoral college slate pending the investigation, the supreme court rules that the electoral college must be held without those states, and trump wins when the election is thrown to the house of representatives voting by state.

Save illinois u. S. Sen. Tammy duckworth quietly has been writing an autobiography, her personal story of going from selling flowers on a hawaiian roadside amid poverty and losing both legs in a combat helicopter crash in iraq to an improbable rise in national politics. Her life’s latest turn could become the book’s climax -- a shot at becoming joe biden’s running mate.

Washington — growing up in omaha, symone sanders would sometimes assume the identity of an alter-ego character named “donna burns,†an imaginary tv personality who would repurpose hairbrushes or forks or pens (or whatever) to use as her microphone. “i wanted to have my own show one day,†ms.

it was george bush, who as a guest of the president occupied one of the straight chairs along the wall. He seemed to be asking for the floor. When nixon failed to recognize him, he spoke anyway.

Republican senators are telegraphing helpful ideas to him through the media about a course correction, having finally accepted that trump is poised to take, as the president would say, their gop senate majority down the tubes with him.
