Is there any precedent for these unpresident ial acts . Almost 74 million votes. I have a great panel of historians to discuss that, and the legacy of trumps term in office. An eyeopening discovery that may save your life one day. A way to edit the genetic code itself. A newly minted Nobel Laureate tells me about the promise of crispr. But first, heres my take. More than 150 million americans made their own personal decisions when they voted in this years election, but it is now the unenviable job of commentators to explain the meaning of those choices. At the broadest level its fair to say that the vote was a repudiation of donald trump. President s rarely lose their bids for reelection.

Other things that have been raised in discussions of miss greene are not going to go anywhere unless Republican Leadership dec
Ties to extremists linked to the insurrection at the capitol still has room for liz cheney, a conservative stalwart, who had the audacity to hold donald trump accountable for the incitement of the riots in january 6th. Also on the line today, who will have the fortitude to go on the record against the real threat, a Conspiracy Theorist in its own ranks. Right now the republican conference is behind the closed doors ahead on a vote tomorrow to remove congresswoman greene from her Committee Appointments. A woman who is dubious about whether the attacks on 9 11 were real, endorsed calls to assassinate barack obama, nancy pelosi, and hillary clinton. House Republican Leaders Kevin Mccarthy, for one, is reportedly feeling torn at this hour between cheney, a former State Department official, the daughter of conservative former Vice President dick cheney on one side, and a member of congress, Claire Mccaskill refers to as the q aknown lady. Reports of what went down inside the room. Mccarthy
