COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

We have overcome near-death experiences before.
We shall overcome this one too. Not by denying we are in a constitutional crisis.
We are.
But we can and will prevail if we face the truth unflinchingly and never abandon the long twilight struggle against evil.

new resignation from SDNY Hagan Scotten -- he's a John Roberts clerk -- Roberts can't be happy at that -- and a 2 times bronze medal winner for duty in Iraq.
This is the best of DOJ v the worst of the political system. The lines so clearly drawn

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

This person - Emil Bove - is reportedly ordering federal prosecutors in the DOJ's Public Integrity Section to dismiss the prosecution against Mayor Eric Adams.
Any prosecutor who did this could be risking their bar license. This corrupt scheme actually smacks of obstruction of justice.
