In his Nation column, Elie Mystal calls for justice and accountability from the incoming Democratic Congress, expecting a rolling drumbeat of subpoenas, investigations, and indictments rather than the "revenge" Hakeem Jeffries has disavowed. He runs through close races — Scott Colom ahead in Mississippi, Cindy Holscher leading in Kansas, Mary Peltola up in Alaska — mocks Sarah Isgur's argument that Samuel Alito could be replaced without a vacancy, and predicts Democrats will run Texas by 2027, putting Elon Musk's companies under a Democratic governor and attorney general.
