NEW: In this bonus episode of the @NewAbnormalPod, The Daily Beast's @JFKucinich and @swin24 join @TheRickWilson and @MollyJongFast to chat about a possible Trump prosecution–and Rudy Giuliani reaching the "peak of batshit mountain.” trib.al/wen6XFZ
Team Biden has made his incoming style of presidency very clear: Keep the peace. Or in his aides' words, "move the country forward."

BUT. And this is a big BUT: Biden's Attorney General still could go after Trump. trib.al/wen6XFZ
"It will be interesting to see how that particular pick moves forward," says @swin24 trib.al/wen6XFZ
Speaking of "what ifs," the quad also muse about what the political world will look like without Trump as president, and sorry to say, not too much is different trib.al/wen6XFZ
Plus! Will Democrats have to drag GSA official Emily Murphy out of her post? Is Rudy Giuliani OK? And what the hell is happening in Georgia!? trib.al/wen6XFZ

Governors like Wyoming’s Mark Gordon and South Dakota’s Kristi Noem are inexplicably avoiding a mandate that the data shows could save lives trib.al/Mu6NENp
The researchers looked at Kansas while it was in the throes of a surge this summer. Gov. Laura Kelly implemented a statewide mask requirement, but counties were allowed to opt-out of it trib.al/Mu6NENp
The data showed that counties that had a mask mandate but did not have other restrictions still saw cases drop—signaling that the mask order was making a difference.'' trib.al/Mu6NENp

.@amyklobuchar is over Trump’s “7 stages of grief.”

She joined @newabnormalpod w/ @therickwilson & @mollyjongfast to discuss this sad stalling of the Biden transition and his desperate quest to destroy democracy

APPLE: trib.al/RqahvFm
SPOTIFY: trib.al/pMJtIdm
To put it plainly, President Trump is losing it.

“There's been so much sexist talk about women [in politics] being too emotional and being too sensitive. And then we have an entire party held hostage by the president's moods,” says @mollyjongfast.

trib.al/WlFBDpS
.@amyklobuchar agrees: “Exactly. I think it was John Bolton that said that we just don't have time to live through seven stages of the president's grief. That is exactly what's happening.” trib.al/WlFBDpS

EXCLUSIVE: Right before chairing the Subcommittee on SeaPower, Sen. David Perdue bought stock in BWX Technologies. After working on a bill that ultimately directed more Navy dollars to BWX, Perdue sold off the stock, earning tens of thousands in profits. trib.al/XkLTzUS
Perdue acquired up to $190,000 in BWX Technologies stock. The firm had lucrative contracts with the Navy to develop high-tech components for its nuclear submarine fleet—and they were looking to expand with the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. trib.al/XkLTzUS
Perdue had a key role in shaping the final version of the NDAA, including securing a hefty $4.7 billion for Virginia-class submarines.

Now guess which firm was awarded contracts to design and make key parts for Virginia-class submarines? BWX.

David Cross spends several minutes of his most recent stand-up special "Oh Come On" imagining the various ways that Trump’s presidency could end.

“Will he be assassinated by a group of caring nuns?” he asks. The fantasies only get darker from there. trib.al/xftIewp
Now that it’s actually happening, @davidcrosss tells @mattwilstein on #TheLastLaugh podcast that he can’t bring himself to dance in the streets.

“I’m going to reserve it for when it’s actually good again.” trib.al/xftIewp
The pandemic isn’t exactly helping either.

“I tried two outdoor COVID-friendly shows and it just didn’t work,” Cross says. “I just have to wait to get back into those sweaty, basement, we’re-all-crammed-together Brooklyn bars to get the work done.” trib.al/xftIewp

NEW: Members of the Kappa Delta sorority at the University of Alabama are getting ready for a massive party that, in any other year, would be a routine event. But amid a deadly pandemic, residents are asking: Why are the school and city endorsing this? trib.al/ZbytpCR
“It’s appalling and dangerous,” 61-year-old radiation therapist Louise Manos told The Daily Beast, arguing that “the four members of the city council who voted in favor of this are sanctioning a superspreader event.” trib.al/ZbytpCR
Party organizers promised to put in safety measures at the outdoor event besides wearing masks, such as taking body temperatures and transporting attendees via chartered bus in three “shifts” or groups of 200 revelers at a time trib.al/ZbytpCR

We all love a little Twitter drama, especially when it involves @MollyJongFast handing a QAnon politician-elect their ass
Apple: trib.al/lYg9zrD
Spotify: trib.al/nbBwLg2 Image
Today on @NewAbnormalPod Molly tells @TheRickWilson about the Twitter fight she had with Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene, an avowed QAnon supporter over government interference in a woman’s health
trib.al/5lavVF2 Image
After Greene tweeted “My body, my choice,” in reference to mask-wearing, Molly “suggested that she might also be pro-choice, which got her just enraged because while she won’t wear a mask, she does not want anyone to have control over their own uterus”
