U.S. SenateSenators McConnell and Schumer on Veto Override and Stimulus Checks
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) took to the floor to talk about COVID-19 relief efforts, and his reasons for tying an increase in stimulus checks to repealing Section 230 and election investigations. He was followed by the Democratic Leader, Chuck Schumer (NY), who started out criticizing Senator Hawley’s (R-MO) decision to contest the Electoral College results, before turning to the president’s veto of the Defense Authorization bill.

GOP Georgia Senate Candidates Flip-Flop On Stimulus As Voter Turnout Soars
Dec. 30 - The Democrats vying for the Georgia Senate seats are going to get a last-minute push from President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. The Washington Post reports, “Harris plans to tout the two Democratic Senate candidates at an event in Savannah on Sunday, and Biden will appear in Atlanta on Monday, Biden’s campaign announced.” On the Republican side, Donald Trump is expected to hold a rally in Dalton, a heavily conservative city in Northwest Georgia. But there are questions about whether the rally will be focused on Republican senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler or be all about Trump once again airing his baseless election grievances. Late Tuesday, the current president tweeted:
I love the Great State of Georgia, but the people who run it, from the Governor, @BrianKempGA, to the Secretary of State, are a complete disaster and don’t have a clue, or worse. Nobody can be this stupid. Just allow us to find the crime, and turn the state Republican…other acts of fraud and irregularities as well. STAY TUNED! continue to read

PRESIDENT TRUMP FILES WISCONSIN CASE IN UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
Dec. 30 - President Donald J. Trump, in his personal capacity as candidate for re-election, today filed an appeal in the United States Supreme Court seeking to ensure election integrity in Wisconsin.
The lawsuit asks the Supreme Court to declare the Wisconsin election unconstitutional and void as a result of the multiple violations of law, and order the Wisconsin state legislature to appoint electors consistent with Article II, Sec 1.2 of the United States Constitution.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals specifically held that if the Trump Campaign proved its case, it could void the election as “failed”, and order decertification of the Biden electors, requiring the Wisconsin legislature to appoint electors. The Seventh Circuit Court affirmed a dismissal of the challenge to the November 3, 2020 election based on the doctrine of “laches” – essentially saying the campaign should have filed suit before the election – even though the scope of illegal absentee ballots and the results of the election were as yet unknown and the changes in law and administration of the election in violation of the U.S. Constitution happened on the eve and day of the election. continue to read

Trump administration speeds up 'midnight rule-making,' creating hurdles for Biden
The administration's last-minute rules include contentious proposals that President-elect Joe Biden is likely to oppose.
Dec. 30 - Since Election Day, the Trump administration has completed dozens of new regulations in a final flurry of rule-making, including restrictions on access to asylum, reduced wages for guest farmworkers and a rejection of stricter limits for soot emissions, despite a growing body of evidence that soot pollution is contributing to premature death.
The White House has made a concerted push to finish new rules before President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, despite President Donald Trump’s ongoing refusal to accept the election results. Once rules are finalized and take effect, undoing them is usually a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. continue to read
