Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Democrats yesterday won the final special election of 2025, in Iowa: Their nominee defended a state Senate district by 43%. Harris had won it by 17% last year.
This win means Dems prevent the GOP from gaining a supermajority; the GOP lost the supermajority earlier this year.

Does the president not realize an account that once asked its followers to rate Leavitt’s butt is a parody? The account bio also reads “parody account,” as designation by X.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Actual 2025 tariff rates are, to date, far less than statutory rates, but the costs of the tariffs are mostly borne by the US – estimated tariff pass-through to US prices in 2025 is 94%. Tariffs on imports act like a 1 to 2pp tax on US manufacturing. brentneiman.com/research/GN2...
