We knew this already, but shocking to hear a prosecutor say it out loud.

BREAKING on MS NOW:
Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says:
"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

It’s probably not super likely right now, but if the news (and his polling) continues to get worse, the GOP might encourage it in an attempt to save the midterms.
If they do, I think Trump will burn the whole party down on his way out the door. He’s that vindictive.

To be clear: Trump is only calling for the GOP to release the Epstein files because he was told he’s about to lose 150+ republicans on this vote.

Among the reasons Americans risked it all to get rid of a tyrannical king:
“He has obstructed the Admin of Justice…made Judges dependent on his Will…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people…kept among us Standing Armies w/o legislatures’ Consent” www.americaamerica.news/p/what-we-sh...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

In reality, we should be pretty close, but I don’t think we are. Article 5 does have to be unanimous, and I’m skeptical that we’ll ever get there in the current political climate.
Orban or Trump will almost certainly run interference for Putin.

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.
Texas: Your vote matters—and so does your map. And right now, power-hungry politicians are trying to gerrymander it to silence your voices. Join @redistrictfdn.bsky.social for a virtual event to learn how redistricting shapes your vote—and how you can take action. 🔗 www.mobilize.us/allontheline...
