"GOP defiance and frustration about the still-emerging results faded in some parts of the country Sunday, as arguments against accepting the vote moved from the streets to social media" washingtonpost.com/national/trump…
2-"Hundreds of Trump supporters had descended upon the steps of the Minn Capitol in St. Paul & later in front of the gov’s mansion last week, waving Trump flags & bearing signs alleging widespread voter fraud, despite there being evidence of none. On Sunday, the scene was silent.
3-"In nearby Anoka County, a conservative-leaning suburb about 20 minutes north of Minneapolis where neighborhood streets had been dotted with Trump campaign signs as late as Saturday morning, many of those signs had been removed.
4-"Most of the criticism came from prominent Republicans in a state the president believed he could win but did not.
5-"Republican officials, including McDaniel, made unsubstantiated allegations that ballots were missing in Rochester Hills, Mich — something the City Clerk Tina Barton said was a egregious misrepresentation of a technical error that was quickly fixed. .." ~WaPo

2-"Tensions between Fox's pro-Trump opinion hosts and the news division are flaring over the Arizona call. "We called it long before MSNBC!" one outraged staffer on the opinion side told me. "We were so worried about being seen as pro-Trump that we bent over backwards."
3-"Some Republicans blame Fox for setting the narrative that Trump lost, even though the Associated Press later called Arizona for Biden. (As of Wednesday afternoon, NBC News, along with CNN, still haven’t called Arizona).
