If you can still support Republicans after Jack Smith said this, there is something wrong with you.
"We found that [Trump] caused that violence, that it was foreseeable to him, and that he sought to exploit it."
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but a country where people must prove their citizenship to masked strangers who refuse to identify themselves, and can be taken from work, school, or home because of how they look, is NOT a free country.
The reflecting pool is empty and blocked off. The Kennedy Center is completely boarded up. The East Wing is in ruins, and the White House looks like a tacky, cheap Vegas whorehouse with all the fake gold laminate. The visual decay in D.C. says everything you need to know about the current state of our country.
When the man who investigated Trump firsthand — before Republicans refused to let us see and hear everything he found - says the danger
Is "greater than anything he has seen in his lifetime," we should LISTEN.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith didn't mince words:
"I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime."
This isn't coming from a political commentator or a random pundit. It's coming from the prosecutor who spent years examining the evidence against Trump, reviewing classified documents, interviewing witnesses, and seeing how power was used behind the scenes.
Whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or independent, the rule of law is supposed to be the foundation of our democracy. It means NO ONE is above the law, no matter how wealthy, powerful, or politically connected they are.
And, ask yourself, what's the harm in seeing the FACTS!?
If Trump didn't do anything wrong, he shouldn't have anything to worry about, right?
When someone with Jack Smith's experience warns that the threat is unprecedented, it shouldn't be dismissed because of politics.
It should prompt every American to ask what's happening to the institutions that are supposed to protect democracy.
📸 Really American
THE “WORST OF THE WORST”: A NUN WITH A WORK PERMIT.
Sleep peacefully, America. ICE caught Sister Leticia Ugboaja walking to Sunday Mass.
She had a valid work permit, attended EVERY required immigration appointment and complied with EVERY condition of her court-ordered protection.
A nun. A nurse. Following the rules. Walking to church.
Thank God they got to her before she could receive Communion.
It took intervention from members of Congress to help secure her release. Apparently, a work permit and doing everything immigration officials require aren’t quite as effective as knowing someone in Congress.
So much for “do it the right way" hey MAGA????
ICE: protecting America from the terrifying threat of a nurse with a rosary.

I genuinely think every airline CEO should have to fly middle seat in economy for 10 hours twice a month.
Same tiny seat. Same limited legroom. Same person reclining in front of you. Same overpriced food.
If you’re running an airline, you should regularly experience the product exactly like your customers do.
I’ve been on here about 3 minutes and I feel my blood pressure rising. We’ve had 10 years of this nonsense. Why is one man allowed to ruin so many lives? I’m sick of it all.
WAIT WAIT WAIT…
The House Republicans are going to give themselves a nearly 50 DAY VACATION... AFTER JUST COMING BACK FROM A 38-DAY VACATION?!!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!!!
DON'T WE HAVE STUFF TO GET DONE IN THIS COUNTRY???????????????
WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING HERE?!!!!!
Rep. Joyce Beatty on her Kennedy Center call with President Trump today: "I think it would be unthinkable for someone to hear a president using the language that he used. He threw a tantrum. It was like an immature child. I wouldn't even want to put this on a child."
WELL, THAT’S CONVENIENT.
Thomas Massie files PRIVILEGED articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth yesterday—meaning the House had to act within two legislative days.
So what does Mike Johnson do?
SEND THE HOUSE HOME A DAY EARLY.
No vote. No debate. No accountability.
Just cancel the legislative day and kick the can down the road until AFTER the midterms.
You couldn’t write more blatant congressional corruption if you tried.
Statement from Washington Litigation Group, which sued to halt Trump's shuttering of Kennedy Center:
"This constant effort to add Trump's name to the Kennedy Ctr facade is the definition of insanity. This is now the 3rd attempt to deface this sacred memorial and turn it into a vanity project for one man's ego. Worse still, now Trump is taking the Center hostage and threatening to in effect kill it unless he gets his way."

Who knew that defacing the building, tearing up its trees, removing its sculptures, replacing the Board with political cronies, giving the finger to every performer who isn’t a Trump voter, and talking down its facilities daily would cause a revenue drop? https://t.co/7aZWbi9BCq
This woman is 100% right.
Walmart makes you scan your own groceries, bag your own groceries, and work an unpaid shift at the register. Then a stranger at the door acts like you just robbed the place because you bought glue-on nails and tomato sauce.
No.
You watched me check out. There were two people standing in self-checkout watching me check out. Everything is in bags. I am not showing you a receipt like I just shoplifted a cart of groceries I already paid for.
Walmart created this mess.
Kill self-checkout.
Hire actual cashiers.
Stop treating paying customers like suspects.
Then take the real thieves to court and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
We’re not criminals. Stop treating us like we are.
George Bush quit playing golf after starting the Iraq War. "I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf," he said.
"I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during war just sends the wrong signal."
Meanwhile, Trump started his war AT his Florida golf course and has spent every single weekend since on the links.
And WE foot the bill.
For both the war AND the golf.
It's beyond an unnecessary expense for taxpayers to cover the cost for Trump to fly 24 vehicles, 19 motorcycles, and one Natalie Harp to Ireland for a 48-hour visit so he can attend a golf tournament while voters are unable to afford health care, food, gas, utilities, or rent.
