Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

Everything ends eventually, and I’m at peace with that, but I can’t help looking forward to the day when Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha reminisce about their first viral video—only to be met with blank stares from their kids—after TikTok fades from relevance and shuts down for good.

idea:
what if
instead of watching the Cotton Bowl, I played video games with my girls and then got drunk with my wife
can go to bed tipsy and savoring a Michigan bowl loss and treasured family memories
no risk of heartbreaking missed field goals right as the ball drops

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.

Nothing like asking career AUSAs who have been under assault for the last year, watched their colleagues get fired for no reason, and their offices taken over by incompetent boobs to volunteer their time to perpetuate a cover up of their boss's involvement w/a sex predator 🙃

I’d like to see the clip where JD was asked/forced/randomly chose to apologize “for being white”.
After more than 3 decades of life as a white male in the US, I can’t think of a single time I’ve been asked to apologize for how I was born.
At most, the ask has been to realize my privilege.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

I’ll say it again…How fucked is it that Rand Fucking Paul is the GOP voice of reason in this moment?
It’s not even a hard concept to grasp & these attempts to manipulate voting districts in a way to fabricate a single party system flies in the face of the fundamental argument that spawned the US.

Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

We taught kids to read, write, and dream; then trained them to hide, barricade, and bleed quietly while adults chose guns, cowardice, and silence over their future.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.
