Skimm This Deep Breath: Making Sense of a Crazy Week
It’s been a long week, but it’s not over yet. We’ve got the latest on the Trump campaign’s legal strategy as it tries to stop the vote counts in some states and control which ballots are counted in others.

Need a break from staring at the electoral map? We’ll tell you about some of the other history being made this year, because there really is a first for everything.
