A.B. STODDARD: ‘Start the Steal’: Trump Once Again Planning to Overturn an Election.
THERE IS A PLAN AFOOT to overturn the results of the November election, and for both parties it is fast becoming a major concern. The scheme is being hatched by Republicans on behalf of Donald Trump, who seeks to steal the election if Joe Biden defeats him again. The Biden campaign and an army of lawyers are working to thwart it.
Trump can win on November 5, and polls show he likely would if the election were held today. But if Biden defeats him, the man who would trample the country for his ego can be expected to use even more extreme means than he did last time to flip the result—because he’s trying to stay out of jail.

MONA CHAREN: Democrats Should Reclaim Patriotism
AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION in Dallas in August 1984, a lifelong Democrat stood up to denounce her former party. The Democrats had convened in San Francisco in July to nominate Walter Mondale. Jeane Kirkpatrick, who had switched parties to serve as America’s U.N. ambassador under Reagan, lambasted her former party for always “blaming America first.” It brought the house down. “San Francisco Democrat” became a catchphrase that haunted Democrats for years to come.

Happy Tuesday! And I can’t think of a happier way to kick off the evening than to report that John Eastman has been disbarred. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it’s bending more and more towards justice each day.
