President Donald Trump released a pre-recorded address detailing specific Wisconsin vote anomalies and software concerns regarding Dominion Voting Systems.

Austin Mayor Steve Adler and San Francisco Mayor London Breed face intense public backlash for violating their own COVID-19 stay-at-home orders by traveling to Cabo San Lucas and dining at the French Laundry. Meanwhile, Dr. Deborah Birx issued warnings to Thanksgiving travelers as business owners like Dave Morris in Kalamazoo lead a growing resistance against lockdown mandates. The medical community is also seeing internal friction as Dr. Peter McCullough testifies to the Senate regarding the suppression of hydroxychloroquine and a global team of experts identifies ten fatal flaws in the Corman-Drosten PCR testing protocol. In the economic sphere, Janet Yellen outlines a Build Back Better plan focused on racial equity and climate initiatives, while Andrew Yang proposes $1,500 cash incentives for vaccine uptake.
