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.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

In Trump’s pay-to-play justice system, you can get away with defrauding nursing homes, skirting your taxes, and committing securities fraud. So much for “law and order.” https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=Tj1mzuAdV8zjXEpY

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one.

Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant.

Many have speculated how he’d do it.

Now his gambit is clear.

DC was a test.

He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities.

This is not a drill.

Democracy is at defcon 1.

I won't stay silent while queer visibility is censored in Germany's parliament. Rainbow flags stand for dignity and human rights – not “circus.” 👉 Tell Klöckner: Stop the rainbow ban! a.allout.org/s/vQa4A/
Tell Klöckner: Stop the rainbow ban!
Klöckner sends police to remove rainbow flags from Parliament. This isn’t neutrality – it’s queer erasure.

Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution?

How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ?

A federal judge rejected Republican efforts to throw out thousands of votes cast in the North Carolina Supreme Court race.

This comes after two recounts confirmed GOP candidate Jefferson Griffin lost to Democrat Allison Riggs by 734 votes.

Rare good news for democracy.
