December 31 2020
 
Happy New Year's Eve from Washington, where the House and Senate will hear lawmakers' objections next week to some electoral votes being cast for Joe Biden rather than Donald Trump. Our Fred Lucas reports on what's happening and the historical context. Speaking of Congress, how awful is that new spending package? Matthew Dickerson lays it out. Plus: Virginia grants "driver privilege" to illegal immigrants; D.C. has it in for fitness studios; school choice makes gains; and some other good stuff that 2020 brought. Thanks for  supporting The Daily Signal during a tough year. Stay safe, and we'll see you on New Year's Day.
