Holy cow. In the courtroom, Donald Trump looked at Special Counsel Jack Smith & Special Counsel Jack Smith looked right back at him and stared Donald Trump down, according to brand new reporting. What a beautiful scene to imagine. Don’t mess around with Jack Smith.
BREAKING: Trump’s former attorney sounds the alarm, demands that the Justice Department immediately investigate whether Trump and Jared Kushner sold Saudi Arabia any of the military secrets in the top secret documents that Trump stole and stashed.
The lawyer declared, “The Justice Department should be, if they're not already, looking at the unholy relationships that exist between Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, and Jared Kushner. I mean, this whole two plus billion dollars to an unqualified hedge funder makes no sense to me, and in light of the information that came out, that there was military information on Iran, and we all know what that Saudi Arabia has had Iranian aggression on their mind for a long time -- who knows what was shown to them? Who knows what was discussed? Who knows what was sold? None of us."
The lawyer continued, “I do believe that our law enforcement, because we have the greatest law enforcement in the world, they can find anything, and I do believe they will find a lot of information that goes on outside of Trump, even though I do believe he probably had his hands in it, that he certainly knows about it, and chances are, if he had his hand in it and he knew about it, he profited it from it.”
This should strike fear in the heart of every American who gives a damn about our struggling democracy.
Please RT and ❤️ if you think that the Justice Department MUST launch an immediate investigation — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new Twitter I created competitor that is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/0c9FDbB14A
LeBron’s 1st Half alone is the best playoff game by any player in Year 18, 19 or 20 in NBA history.
The only thing that comes close is LeBron’s closeout game against the Warriors.
There’s no context for what we just saw, given the stage of career. None.
When I became President, I proudly placed a bust of César Chávez in the Oval to serve as a reminder of the values he embodied, the vision of freedom he fought for, and his commitment to justice and dignity that we must uphold each and every day.
Happy César Chávez Day.

My mom grew up picking cotton in the 1950s. Yesterday, she waited in line to once again pick her son to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate. We’ve come a long way, but the work isn’t done!
