From the editorial board of the St. Louis Dispatch:
Just as it’s a good idea to child-proof a home before having toddlers over for a birthday party, congressional Democrats should be doing what they can during the current lame-duck session to prepare for the incoming Republican House majority — a crowd that has literally announced its intention to threaten America’s fiscal stability, block election reforms and abandon Ukraine.
The current Democratic majority can extremist-proof Congress in some important ways between now and January. Though Republicans will control the House in January, the Nov. 8 elections cannot by any stretch be read as a mandate. Democrats who still control Congress now have not just a right but a duty to ensure that the worst instincts of the incoming majority are reined in before they’re seated. Let’s cover those plug sockets.
Read the full editorial. In particular, the paper calls for reforming the Electoral Count Act and ending the ability of Republicans to shut down the government.

Delighted if they Ds protect Ukraine and DOJ funding, eliminate debt ceiling blackmail, pass ECA reform, and protect same-sex marriage. The rest can wait until next year, when Rs tie themselves up in knots and Senate Ds confirm scores of judges.https://t.co/E2G0Xohsvp
