President-elect Joe Biden secured the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency more than a week ago. However, many of the president's allies and appointees have remained silent while Trump continues to falsely claim that he won the race. General Services Administration chief Emily Murphy is in charge of acknowledging the election winner and beginning the formal transfer of power. Murphy has not issued the 'letter of ascertainment' that triggers the release of funds and facilities allowing the transfer to begin. Now, Business Insider reports Murphy is privately exploring her job option, based on a message of Murphy discussing employment opportunities in 2021. The apparent job search contradicts President Donald Trump's messaging that he won the election.
Before election day, polls universally showed Joe Biden beating Donald Trump is a massive landslide. Then, election happened and the vote count is much closer. Biden was predicted to win Florida, Ohio, and Texas. Trump won all those states. There were also massive polling errors in Florida and Wisconsin. One of the biggest pollsters is Nate Silver, founder of fivethirtyeight.com. According to the Daily Beast, polling errors were brought up during an episode of the fivethirtyeight daily podcast. The notoriously thin-skinned Silver wasn't having any criticism of his work and lashed out at the host for even suggesting he made any mistakes. "F*%# you, we did a good job!”

The man who set himself on fire outside the court where Donald Trump is standing trial is in "critical condition" at a burn center in New York, authorities tell reporters. "Civilians, officers, members of the police department, they run into the park, they make efforts to put him out. They use their coats, they use fire extinguishers. Eventually, FPNY (New York Fire Patrol) respond, (they) were able to extinguish the fire," Chief Maddrey tells a press conference on the scene, outside the court where Donald Trump is standing trial.
