Popok: When Special Counsel Jack Smith issues his report on the Trump cases, I implore Merrick Garland to release them to the public or we will never see it.
Dems have the Senate majority for the next 60-plus days. Use it! Not just to confirm judges. Hold your own pre-confirmation hearings. Foreign Relations on Tulsi Gabbards ties to Russia. Intel Committee onJohn Ratliffe's misconduct on intelligence in Trump's first term. 1/
Jack Smith is a patriot who has dedicated his life to serving justice. He would make a fantastic federal judge.
RETWEET if you think @POTUS should appoint Jack Smith to a federal judgeship!
If you’re still on the fence about voting in this election, think about what really matters – about the values we were taught, the kind of country we want to be, and how this is a moment when your vote really does count.
Your vote could determine the fate of our republic – the world that our children and grandchildren will inherit. It’s an awesome responsibility. But what an extraordinary privilege it is to live in a democracy that gives each of us the opportunity to make our voices heard.
The GOP loves blaming the deficit on Social Security and Medicare. But the real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich.
If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush and Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio.
That's one thing the GOP will never tell you.
150 billionaire families have spent $1.9 billion on the 2024 election so far.
It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth.
It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash.
We must overturn Citizens United.
Their son's death was devastating — Just told New York Times how Trump made it worse.
Here is full statement begging Trump & Vance to stop lying about their son.
"You know, I wish that my son, Aidan Clark was killed by a 60 year old white man. I bet you never thought anyone would ever say something so blunt.
But if that guy killed my 11 year old son, the incessant group of hate spewing people would leave us alone.
The last thing that we need is to have the worst day of our lives violently and constantly shoved in our faces.
But even that's not good enough for them. They take it one step further. They make it seem as though our wonderful Aidan appreciates your hate that we should follow their hate. And look what you've done to us.
We have to get up here and beg them to stop. Using Adan as a political tool is, to say the least, reprehensible for any political purpose.
And speaking of morally bankrupt. Politicians Bernie Moreno, Chip Roy JD Vance and Donald Trump. They have spoken my son's name and used his death for political gain. This needs to stop now.
They can vomit all the hate they want about illegal immigrants, the border crisis, and even untrue claims about fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members.
However, they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed, to mention Aidan Clark from Springfield, Ohio. I will listen to them one more time to hear their apologies.
To clear the air, my son Aidan Clark was not murdered. He was accidentally killed by an immigrant from Haiti. This tragedy is felt all over this community, the state and even the nation.
But don't spin this towards hate. In order to live like Aidan, you need to accept everyone, choose to shine, make the difference, lead the way and be the inspiration.
What many people in this community and state are and nation are doing is the opposite of what you should be doing.
Sure we have our problems here in Springfield and in the US, but does Aidan Clark have anything to do with that?
Did you know that an 11 year old boy could be passionate about gardening that he could haggle for a better price at a yard sale?
Did you know that he researched different cultures to better appreciate and understand people that he interacted with?
Did you know that one of the worst feelings in the world is to not be able to protect your child? Even worse, we can't even protect his memory when he's gone.
Please stop the hate. I said to Aidan that I would try to make a difference in his honor. This is it. Live like Aidan. Thank you."

Elon Musk – the richest guy in the world – is allowed to pour zillions of dollars into Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
Does that sound like democracy to you?
We need to overturn Citizens United and move to the public funding of elections.
A third of Trump’s campaign funding has come from billionaires, including several he’s pledged to appoint to his cabinet.
Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances.
We saw it in 1930s Germany, and we’re seeing it again today.
