Smith’s integrity & commitment to rule of law reminds us that not long ago, this was the norm in America. Now, listening to maga lawmakers, their
adoration of Trump - defense of the treasonous lies & corruption is deeply dispiriting- an end of U.S decency & democracy

Before “Special Counsel,” Jack Smith worked at The Hague, where the job is to look power in the eye and keep writing anyway.
War crimes. Chains of command. Evidence over excuses.
That kind of work leaves you with one stubborn belief: no one is above accountability.

Trump has no legal authority to tariff American allies to bully them into backing his brainless attempt to seize Greenland.
This is against the law, it’s a total disaster for America, and Republicans in Congress and the Supreme Court need to find their spines and stop it.

Trump says on Feb 1 he will impose a 10% tariff “on any and all goods sent” to US from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, & Finland, increasing to 25% June 1 “until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.”

You already have Murkowski and Collins so you really only need two more….
Four GOP Senators.
At most four Repubs in the House.
Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

There is no dispute that Maduro is a brutal dictator — but only Congress has the power to declare war.
If Congress does not begin reasserting itself — immediately — our constitutional order will be permanently transformed.
