For 250 years, America has been a refuge for those fleeing oppression, persecution, and poverty.

We must continue to fight to ensure that everyone has the social safety net they need to pursue the American Dream.

Thank you to everyone in NY-10, and congratulations to @bradlander.

Happy 4th of July!

One year ago today, House Republicans passed their Big, Ugly Bill into law.

Since then?
8 million Americans kicked off healthcare.
4 million Americans kicked off food assistance.

Republicans made our affordability crisis worse. Democrats are working to fix it.

Thank you Jack Smith for speaking up and showing other lawyers what it looks like to have courage, and showing the world what it looks like to have integrity. ⚖️

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

JUST. FUCKING. WOW. The humility, decency, and integrity of Jack Smith came across loud and clear. This career prosecutor is an American hero. Jack Smith is the antithesis of the depravity, corruption, and moral bankruptcy of Trump, Todd Blanche, the DOJ, and Kash Patel.

Here is a synopsis of Jack Smith's first televised news interview since he criminally charged the most corrupt president in American history, Donald Trump.

Core Pillars of the Interview

ㆍ The Fragility of the Rule of Law: Smith warned that the rule of law is under an unprecedented attack, declaring it is "different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime." He explained that democratic systems do not run on autopilot and rely entirely on the good-faith commitment of people inside public institutions to uphold them.

ㆍ Consistency Over Politics: He reiterated that a healthy democracy requires investigating cases by focusing strictly on the facts and the law, applying the exact same standards regardless of political affiliation.

ㆍ Defending Career Public Servants: Smith spoke passionately about the career prosecutors, FBI agents, and support staff who are being "demonized for doing their jobs" by political figures. He expressed that he feels "terrible" about how they are being treated.

ㆍ The Call to Support Them: He emphasized the moral necessity for regular citizens to stand up for these civil servants, stating, "It's really important that we stand up for them and let them know that there are a lot of people out there who back them and who are with them."

ㆍ The Danger of Lost Trust: Smith noted that the loss of institutional trust has a dangerous "cascading effect" on the legal system, warning that when judges and the public lose faith in prosecutors, the Justice Department loses its ability to perform basic functions.

Warnings About Upcoming Elections

ㆍ Deeply Concerned for the Future: When asked directly if the country is witnessing a real-time assault on the upcoming election cycle, Smith explicitly stated, "I'm very concerned of what's going to happen in the next election, absolutely."

ㆍ Bad Actors Have Adapted: He warned that individuals who attempted to subvert the 2020 election have likely learned from past failures, adapting their strategies to be more effective next time.

ㆍ State Attorneys General Must Step Up: Smith emphasized that the federal apparatus cannot be the sole line of defense, noting that state attorneys general now have a massive responsibility to enforce the rule of law within their own state borders to protect voting integrity.

Anticipating Personal Retaliation & Indictment

ㆍ Expecting Retaliation: Wallace asked Smith point-blank if he expects to be criminally indicted by the current Trump administration.

ㆍ A Distinct Possibility: Smith acknowledged that an indictment "could happen," given the administration's vocal hostility toward him and the likely use of the Justice Department to target him directly.

ㆍ Refusing to Back Down: Despite the threat of prosecution, he declared, "I am not going to be intimidated. We did our work, pursuant to department policy... I'm not going to pretend that didn't happen because they are threatening me."

How Legal Experts & Media Analysts Reacted

ㆍ An Extraordinary and Historic Moment: Commentators and legal analysts noted that a public media tour by a former Special Counsel defending the DOJ's integrity against a sitting president is entirely unprecedented in modern political history.

ㆍ Nostalgia for Institutional Norms: Media figures reacted strongly to the broadcast, expressing a sense of nostalgia for a time when the Department of Justice operated under strict, non-partisan legal norms. Smith was praised as a rare, authoritative voice willing to publicly champion rank-and-file civil servants.

ㆍ Composure Under Extreme Pressure: Legal observers highlighted Smith’s calm, professional, and articulate demeanor during the broadcast. Analysts noted that his refusal to get defensive or angry stands as a model for how public officials should handle intense political weaponization.

🚨HOLY SH*T: Rep. Seth Magaziner just dropped an absolutely EXPLOSIVE allegation about Trump’s stock trading activity:

“In the last year, President Trump has traded more stocks by dollar value than every member of Congress combined.”

This is insane and needs to be EVERYWHERE.

[Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand]

Trump has spent his presidency starting endless wars, building a gold-plated ballroom, driving up prices for working people, and cashing in on stock trades.

We've had enough.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

The fact that Trump made so sure to silence Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie makes me more convinced than ever that there's something really incriminating in the Epstein files.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Stephen Colbert has a talent for making people laugh and encouraging them to stay curious, stay engaged, and stay hopeful about the world around them.

@StephenAtHome: Thank you for your voice, your creativity, and so many memorable conversations over the years. Cheers to you.

@RepBrandonGill @GOPoversight

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

We will always stand with Stephen Colbert.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

🚨The House is breaking until JUNE🚨

Republicans cancelled votes because they don’t have enough members to support more money for ICE, Donald Trump’s ballroom, and a slush fund to pay off January 6 rioters. The GOP is in disarray.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Hundreds of police officers were brutally attacked, & some eventually died, defending our democracy from January 6th insurrectionists.

How does Trump respond to their courage & dedication?

By creating a $1.8B slush fund for the rioters who tried to kill them.

Not gonna happen!

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Today, Republicans left town without funding Trump’s mass deportations, billionaire ballroom, or his January 6 slush fund.

We will remain ready to challenge these horrendous wastes of taxpayer dollars when they return.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Leader Hakeem Jeffries just laid out the Democrats’ ENTIRE midterm message in plain English and it’s one to be PROUD of:

🔵 Driving down the high cost of living

🔵 Fixing the broken healthcare system

🔵 Getting ICE under control

🔵 Cleaning up corruption in the White House

🔵 Cleaning up corruption in Congress

🔵 Cleaning up corruption at the Supreme Court

🔵 Ending the “reckless and costly war of choice” in the Middle East

🔵 Bringing people together vs. Republicans tearing people apart

“Do you want an affordable country… or a country that solely is benefiting the wealthy, the well-off, and the well-connected?”

“Do you wanna move America forward, or do you wanna turn back the clock?”

“Democrats are gonna fight hard to make your life better.”

That’s the choice.

Democrats fighting for lower costs, healthcare, accountability, and stability, while Republicans keep dragging the country deeper into chaos, corruption, division, and endless outrage.

THE CHOICE IS AN EASY ONE.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

You know I despise Trump with the fury of 1,000 suns.

You know I left my whole life behind to stop him.

And you know that when I get to Congress, I will file Articles of Impeachment on Day 1, and I will not stop until he is in a damn orange jumpsuit

Because you know who I am, will you chip in $5 to my campaign so we can defend our democracy from MAGA’s hands?

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Trump is the most corrupt president in our country's history. And it doesn’t even come close.

[ᗰᗩƳᖇᗩ @LePapillonBlu2]

Trump is gonna hate this photograph, it’d be a shame if it went viral.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the light of #Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ! Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!
