This is undermining our elections. Biden won. The election is over. Trump should concede now.
Part of the problem is Trump always said that the only way he could lose was if the election was rigged. I always knew Biden could lose. The Trump cult never understood that he could lose.
46% of registered voters think Trump should concede to Biden “right away.” 12% believe he should refuse to concede “no matter what.” https://t.co/Mwx9CqRON8
“Shakin’ All Over” was originally recorded by Johnny Kidd & the Pirates in 1960. I know it best from the Who’s version on 1970’s Live at Leeds. I had not heard the song before. Try the Flamin Groovies version. They are a very underrated group from the the 1960s/1970s.
All versions have the distinctive guitar riff at the beginning.
The Beach Boys recorded 15 Big Ones, mostly a covers album, in 1976. One of the more obscure choices was “A Casual Look”, a 1956 hit for the Six Teens. The oldest member of the group was 17. Doo-wop was an influence on the Beach Boys and other artists as diverse as Frank Zappa and George Clinton. This is what covers are for – bringing back a forgotten old song.

Here’s another version from 1956 by Little Clydie and the Teens. Clydie King went on to a long career as a singer. King would have been no more than 13 when this was recorded. I’m glad the Beach Boys version exists to remind us of the song but they can’t capture the innocence of the two versions by adolescents.
Trump administration statement this evening, bold type in the original: "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised." https://t.co/gD7BI9Uzfnpic.twitter.com/xz6w5jTh9F
One of the Trump campaign's witnesses who is claiming that her Sharpie vote for the president wasn't counted just testified that she came to that conclusion after she cast her vote from her talking to her family, other voters, some attorneys and from her "research online."
Fact check: President Trump wrongly claimed a video that showed election workers collecting legally cast ballots in Los Angeles the day after the election showed evidence of fraud https://t.co/J96Pw2G6Cn
For days after the election, adherents to the QAnon conspiracy movement had been trying to get President Trump’s attention with constant false claims about voter fraud connected to a company that makes voting machines.

This is how the QAnon community is reacting to the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine news:
"You can keep your vaccine and your microchip" "NWO wants only 500 million people globally" "This is not a win for the people in any way" pic.twitter.com/8mLxxogAFl
Researchers are exploring a possible link between polling errors in states where surveys underestimated President Trump’s support and a higher-than-average volume of QAnon activity in those states. https://t.co/QnJrVdGEiQ
K-pop fans are "keyword squatting" again, this time disrupting chat about the million maga march with news about pancakes. Here's a good primer:https://t.co/Y85yqzoQDM
Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) donated $2,000 to QAnon congressional candidate Angela Stanton-King, an author and television personality who is very unlikely to win her race. (The @ajc previously reported Loeffler's donation.) https://t.co/1eGGg8FoLP
The dozens of Republicans who have voiced support for at least some elements of QAnon show how GOP leadership has allowed QAnon to become a part of the party, even if the GOP hasn’t explicitly embraced it. https://t.co/E52MgHaUen
In the U.S., QAnon has already evolved from a fringe internet subculture into a mass movement veering into the mainstream. In Germany, it has found fertile ground in the putsch fantasies and anti-Semitic tropes long popular on the far-right fringe.https://t.co/RY8soZ0VBN
Facebook announced that it will ban any ads in support of the far-right group Qanon and any militarized social movements. – @CNBChttps://t.co/Xq5ot9RLVq

NEW: Secret Service vets were floored by Trump's decision to stage a drive-by while infected. His agents would "follow him over a cliff, no questions asked, but that's not the point," a former agent told me, adding that POTUS' decision was "unconscionable" https://t.co/Jpin5x1dnN
Some Secret Service agents outraged at @realDonaldTrump's Sunday night drive . How could.Trump’s desire to be seen outside of his hospital suite justify the jeopardy to agents who protect him, they ask https://t.co/15MifhWqGP
“Secret Service agents expressed their anger and frustration to colleagues and friends Friday, saying that the president’s actions have repeatedly put them at risk. “He’s never cared about us,” one agent told a confidant.” https://t.co/zP6RQpxdF2
Biden-voting counties equal 70% of America's economy. What does this mean for the nation's political-economic divide? https://t.co/UqcR6QixP2 via @BrookingsInst
He didn’t go along with Trump’s lies so he will be canned.
White House appears ready to fire a top U.S. official for posting information intended to reassure voters — but debunked the false narrative advanced by the president. Orwellian. https://t.co/gc5kWIR9Awpic.twitter.com/z18QT1XZyk
