“Trump’s crazy train reaches the end of the line.” So far, “not a single state or federal court has accepted the preposterous conspiracy theories floated by Trump and his supporters to explain his loss, ranging from zany stories of North Koreans smuggling ballots into Maine to supposed Sharpie malfunctions in Arizona. No election has been as thoroughly scrutinized as the 2020 vote, and even Trump’s own Justice Department acknowledges it couldn’t find any serious fraud, much less the vast plots of Trump’s imagination.”

“From Maine to Connecticut, snowbound New Englanders began the back-breaking job of digging out from as much as 3 feet of powder yesterday.” Heavy snow and gusty winds from blizzard Nemo left about 650,000 homes without power. New York City was spared the worst of the storm. A few places set snowfall records, among them Portland, Maine with 31.9 inches.
